AMD® Ryzen™ 5 230

The AMD Ryzen 5 230 is a laptop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Zen 4 architecture. It launched in Feb 2025. Clocks run from 3.5 GHz base to 4.9 GHz boost. A 16-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.7 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 256 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FP8 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (20 lanes). Rated TDP is 28 W.

The AMD Ryzen 5 230 scores 3,557 in single-core performance and 19,464 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,321 for overall performance, 17,631 for productivity performance, 17,108 for creator performance, 19,342 for engineering performance and 15,537 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,244 per core, 1,622 per thread and 695 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,573. Its performance index is 103, so its overall performance is 3% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD Ryzen 5 230 scores 67,398 in integer math, 39,090 in floating-point math, 219,564 in compression, 13,330 in cryptography, 959 in physics simulation, 15,695 in vector SIMD, 66 in the prime sieve and 26,153 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 14% above in integer math, 15% below in floating-point math, 4% below in compression, 16% above in cryptography, 12% below in physics simulation, 1% above in vector SIMD, 1% below in the prime sieve and 15% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD Ryzen 5 230 has 6 physical cores and runs 12 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.50 GHz and boosts up to 4.90 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen 5 230 is a laptop processor, belongs to the AMD Ryzen 5 family, uses the Zen 4 architecture, carries the codename Hawk Point and is manufactured on a 4 nm process. It launched in Feb 2025.

The AMD Ryzen 5 230 has 384 KB of L1 cache, 6 MB of L2 cache and 16 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 22.4 MB of cache, or 3.73 MB per core. Each core has 1 MB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Ryzen 5 230 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 384 KB, L2 at 6 MB and L3 at 16 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 72% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Ryzen 5 230 supports DDR5 memory, addresses up to 256 GB of memory and uses 2 memory channels. It does not support DDR4 and LPDDR memory.
