AMD Ryzen 7 260
The AMD Ryzen 7 260 is an eight-core, 16-thread Zen 4 laptop processor in AMD's Ryzen 200 series, built on TSMC 4nm with Radeon 780M graphics and a 16 TOPS NPU. It runs at 3.8 to 5.1 GHz in a 45 W default TDP, configurable from 35 to 54 W, and uses the Hawk Point design.
Pros
- Eight Zen 4 cores with 16 threads suit demanding multi-threaded work in a mainstream laptop
- Radeon 780M graphics with 12 compute units can run many games at 1080p with reduced settings without a discrete GPU
- Configurable 35-54 W TDP lets laptop makers tune the chip for thin designs or higher-power ones
- Supports DDR5-5600 and LPDDR5X-7500 memory in a dual-channel configuration
- Native USB4 (40 Gbps) ports and PCIe 4.0 connectivity
Cons
- Zen 4 cores and RDNA 3 graphics are a generation behind AMD's Zen 5 laptop chips
- The NPU is rated at up to 16 TOPS, below the 40 TOPS Microsoft requires for Copilot+ PC features
- Results vary with the laptop's power limit: in review testing, a 54 W office laptop scored below 80 W gaming laptops using the same chip
