Ryzen 5 7535HS: CPU benchmarks and laptop guide

The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS is a Rembrandt-R refresh from the 2023 Ryzen 7000 lineup — a 6-core mid-range design aimed at mainstream laptops that want gaming-adjacent power without a flagship price. The catalog matches it to 26 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 7535HS sits in 2026

A catalog score of 71.7 places the chip 78th of 672 scored laptop CPUs — the upper-middle of the table. The neighborhood mixes generations freely: the Ryzen 7 5800H (72.2), Ryzen 7 7736U (71.9) and Core i7-11600H (71.8) just above, the Ryzen 9 9850HX (71.5), Ryzen 7 5800U (71.1) and Ryzen 9 8940HX (70.9) just below. Trading places with older Ryzen 7 flagships and newer Ryzen 9-branded parts tells the story of this tier — a mid-range refresh delivering the same normalized score as chips that previously sat a class above it.

What the chip brings

Rembrandt-R is a 6-core, 12-thread design on a 6 nm process, rated at 35 W in its HS-class configuration: a 3.3 GHz base clock and up to 4.55 GHz boost. The integrated Radeon 660M runs at up to 1,900 MHz — useful for machines without discrete graphics, though it is the smaller sibling of the 680M. In public benchmarks the chip posts 1,760 single-core and 6,973 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 — Alan Wake 2, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Black Myth Wukong, Ghost of Tsushima, Returnal, Counter-Strike 2, Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Forza Horizon 5 among them, down to the lightest esports titles. Eleven games sit at the minimum CPU tier: Starfield, Helldivers 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone, Apex Legends, Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Witcher 3 all ask for more processor at their recommended settings. These verdicts are CPU-only — whether a game actually plays well depends on the laptop's GPU and RAM, and this fleet spans both discrete and integrated configurations.

Laptops that carry it

The 26-model roster is mainstream 2024–2025, and Lenovo dominates it: the LOQ 15ARP10E gaming machine at $1,440, IdeaPad Slim 3 at $1,232, ThinkBook 16 and 14 Gen 7 at $1,007, ThinkPad E14 Gen 6 and E16 Gen 2 at $1,007, and the IdeaPad Slim 5 at $650. ASUS covers the OLED mainstream with the Vivobook S 15 and S 16 at $650 and the Vivobook S 14 OLED at $1,084, while the HP Victus 15 at $1,015 and MSI Thin A15 at $650 round out the gaming-adjacent end. Roster medians describe the fleet honestly: office comfort at a perfect 100, energy efficiency 79.5 and a performance index of 70.4 — with a gaming index of 59 and mobility at 44.5 marking the everyday-laptop character.

Bottom line

The Ryzen 5 7535HS fits the buyer who wants one reasonably priced laptop for work and casual gaming: recommended-CPU-tier coverage for most of the tracked catalog, a 35 W power envelope that suits mainstream chassis, and used pricing from $650. For the eleven heavyweight titles listed at minimum, the GPU matters more than the processor anyway. The catalog's compare pages against the Ryzen 7 8845HS, the Ryzen 7 5800H and the Ryzen AI 5 340 price the step up to eight cores or newer silicon.
