AMD® Ryzen™ Z2 A

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 8 threads (7 nm process). It launched in Jun 2025. Clocks run from 2.8 GHz base to 3.8 GHz boost. A 4-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.6 MB per core). Rated TDP is 15 W.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A scores 2,295 in single-core performance and 10,008 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 4,793 for overall performance, 9,718 for productivity performance, 9,635 for creator performance, 9,633 for engineering performance and 9,387 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,502 per core, 1,251 per thread and 667 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,237. Its performance index is 59, so its overall performance is 41% 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 Z2 A scores 29,165 in integer math, 17,326 in floating-point math, 130,099 in compression, 8,028 in cryptography, 562 in physics simulation, 8,369 in vector SIMD, 23 in the prime sieve and 13,968 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 50% below in integer math, 62% below in floating-point math, 43% below in compression, 30% below in cryptography, 48% below in physics simulation, 46% below in vector SIMD, 66% below in the prime sieve and 38% 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 Z2 A has 4 physical cores and runs 8 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 2.80 GHz and boosts up to 3.80 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A is a laptop processor, belongs to the AMD Ryzen Z family and is manufactured on a 7 nm process. It launched in Jun 2025.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A has 256 KB of L1 cache, 2 MB of L2 cache and 4 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 6.3 MB of cache, or 1.56 MB per core. Each core has 512 KB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 2 MB and L3 at 4 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 64% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A has a rated TDP of 15 W.
