AMD® Ryzen™ 7 253

The AMD Ryzen 7 253 is a laptop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Zen 4 architecture. It launched in Jun 2026. Clocks run from 3.6 GHz base to 4.9 GHz boost. A 16-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.1 MB per core). It supports DDR5 memory. The chip drops into the FP8 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (20 lanes). Rated TDP is 45 W.

The AMD Ryzen 7 253 scores 3,544 in single-core performance and 17,907 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,966 for overall performance, 16,601 for productivity performance, 16,228 for creator performance, 18,355 for engineering performance and 15,109 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,238 per core, 1,119 per thread and 398 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,188. Its performance index is 99, so its overall performance is 1% below 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 7 253 scores 70,438 in integer math, 33,803 in floating-point math, 192,671 in compression, 11,950 in cryptography, 1,040 in physics simulation, 12,847 in vector SIMD, 71 in the prime sieve and 21,424 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 20% above in integer math, 26% below in floating-point math, 16% below in compression, 4% above in cryptography, 5% below in physics simulation, 17% below in vector SIMD, 6% above in the prime sieve and 5% below 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 7 253 has 8 physical cores and runs 16 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boosts up to 4.90 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen 7 253 is a laptop processor, belongs to the AMD Ryzen 7 family, uses the Zen 4 architecture, carries the codename Hawk Point and is manufactured on a 4 nm process. It launched in Jun 2026.

The AMD Ryzen 7 253 has 512 KB of L1 cache, 8 MB of L2 cache and 16 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 24.5 MB of cache, or 3.06 MB per core. Each core has 1 MB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Ryzen 7 253 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 512 KB, L2 at 8 MB and L3 at 16 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 65% of the cache listed here.
