AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 215
The Ryzen 5 PRO 215 is a business-oriented Hawk Point refresh with six cores (two Zen 4 and four Zen 4c), 12 threads, 16MB of L3 cache and a Radeon 740M. It has a 28W default TDP, configurable from 15 to 30W, and adds AMD PRO security and manageability features.
Pros
- Six cores and 12 threads: two Zen 4 cores up to 4.7 GHz plus four Zen 4c cores up to 3.55 GHz
- Averaged about 2520 single-core and 9008 multi-core in Geekbench 6.7 across two reviewed Lenovo ThinkPad models
- 16MB of L3 cache, twice the 8MB of the four-core Ryzen 3 210
- 28W default TDP with a 15 to 30W configurable range, plus Precision Boost Overdrive support
- PRO model adds the Secure Processor and other security and manageability features for business laptops
Cons
- Zen 4 and Zen 4c cores from the Hawk Point generation rather than the newer Zen 5 design
- Four of the six cores are Zen 4c cores limited to 3.55 GHz
- Radeon 740M has only four compute units, so demanding 3D games are out of reach
- Multi-core results vary widely between laptops: Geekbench 6 multi-core ranged from 8056 to 9960 across the two reviewed ThinkPads
