AMD® Ryzen™ Z2

The AMD Ryzen Z2 is a laptop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads (4 nm process). It launched in 2025. Clocks run from 3.3 GHz base to 5.1 GHz boost. A 16-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.1 MB per core). Rated TDP is 28 W.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 scores 3,547 in single-core performance and 25,765 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 9,560 for overall performance, 21,713 for productivity performance, 20,555 for creator performance, 26,409 for engineering performance and 17,082 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,221 per core, 1,610 per thread and 920 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,807. Its performance index is 118, so its overall performance is 18% 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 Z2 scores 89,729 in integer math, 53,929 in floating-point math, 308,260 in compression, 17,972 in cryptography, 1,226 in physics simulation, 22,742 in vector SIMD, 75 in the prime sieve and 37,196 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 52% above in integer math, 17% above in floating-point math, 35% above in compression, 56% above in cryptography, 12% above in physics simulation, 47% above in vector SIMD, 12% above in the prime sieve and 64% 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 Z2 has 8 physical cores and runs 16 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.30 GHz and boosts up to 5.10 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 is a laptop processor, belongs to the AMD Ryzen Z family and is manufactured on a 4 nm process. It launched in 2025.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 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 Z2 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.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 has a rated TDP of 28 W.
