Ryzen 5 7535U: CPU benchmarks and laptop guide

The AMD Ryzen 5 7535U is the Rembrandt-R refresh of AMD's mainstream thin-and-light line — a 6-core design from the 2023 Ryzen 7000 family aimed at productive portables rather than gaming rigs. The catalog matches it to 13 models, and it meets the recommended CPU requirement in 58 of the 69 games the site tracks. This guide covers where the chip sits among laptop CPUs, what it brings to a portable, and which laptops carry it.

Where the Ryzen 5 7535U sits in 2026

A catalog score of 70 places the chip 84th of 672 scored laptop CPUs — the top eighth of a table that spans two decades of silicon. The neighborhood is a cross-section of classes: the Ryzen 9 8940HX (70.9), Core Ultra 7 255HX (70.4) and Ryzen 5 6600U (70.1) just above, the Core i7-1165G7 (70), Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U (69.7) and Core Ultra 7 251HX (69.6) just below. Sitting within a point of HX-class desktop-replacement silicon while carrying a 28 W P-class badge is the practical story — near-workstation ranking without the workstation power draw.

What the chip brings

Rembrandt-R is a 6-core, 12-thread design built on a 6 nm process and rated at 28 W in its P-class configuration: a 2.9 GHz base clock and up to 4.55 GHz boost. The integrated Radeon 660M runs at up to 1,900 MHz, which covers everyday media and lighter titles on the machines in this roster that ship without discrete graphics. In public benchmarks the chip posts 1,743 single-core and 6,492 multi-core in Geekbench. Memory support and cache details were not captured for this chip, so the table above sticks to what the catalog verifiably holds.

Games: CPU-side readiness

Measured purely as a processor, the chip clears the recommended CPU tier for 58 of 69 cataloged games — from Minecraft, Valorant, Dota 2 and League of Legends through Counter-Strike 2, Alan Wake 2, Resident Evil 4 Remake and Battlefield 5 down to Metro Exodus, PUBG: Battlegrounds and Returnal. The remaining 11 sit at the minimum tier: Starfield, Helldivers 2, Call of Duty: Warzone, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, Fortnite and Cyberpunk 2077 all list the chip above their minimum but below their recommended CPU requirement — no tracked game falls below its minimum. These verdicts are CPU-only — whether a game actually plays well depends on the laptop's GPU and RAM, and this roster's business machines lean on the Radeon 660M rather than discrete graphics.

Laptops that carry it

The 13-model roster is business-first: seven 2024 corporate machines — ThinkPad E14 Gen 6, E16 Gen 2, L14 Gen 5 and L16 Gen 1, ProBook 445 G11 and 465 G11, EliteBook 665 G11 — all at $1,007, joined by the 2023 EliteBook 645 G11 at $531 and HP 250 G10 at $886. The portable side runs from the ASUS Zenbook 15 OLED at $954 and the Lenovo Yoga 7 Gen 8 convertible at $921 down to the Acer Aspire 15 (A15-41) at $650. Roster medians describe the fleet honestly: office comfort at a perfect 100, energy efficiency 91.9, mobility 65 and a performance index of 52.9 — with a gaming index of 34, because nearly all of these laptops run integrated graphics.

Bottom line

The Ryzen 5 7535U is the quiet value pick of the midrange: top-eighth CPU ranking, 58 of 69 tracked games at recommended CPU settings, and a fleet of sober business portables and OLED ultrabooks from $531 to $1,007. It suits a buyer who wants one durable do-everything work laptop — the processor will not be the bottleneck for years. For gaming specifically, judge each listing by its graphics: the small Radeon 660M, not this chip, sets the ceiling in almost every machine here.
