AMD Ryzen 3 7335U

The AMD Ryzen 3 7335U is a 4-core, 8-thread mobile processor built on the Zen 3+ architecture (Rembrandt-R) using TSMC’s 6 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz within a 28 W TDP, placing it in the upper tier of low-power mobile parts. The benchmark data positions this chip at the 74th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 16827. This places it in a tightly contested performance bracket where single-digit percentage differences separate it from several notable rivals.

Benchmark Performance

The Ryzen 3 7335U delivers an average benchmark score of 16827, which is remarkably close to its nearest competitors. The data shows a lead of 0.3% over the Intel Core Ultra 5 115U, which scores 16775. This is effectively a statistical tie, indicating that in aggregate workloads, neither chip holds a decisive edge. However, the Ryzen 3 trails the AMD Ryzen 5 7235HS by 0.4% (16902), the Intel Core i3-12100E by 0.5% (16905), and the Intel Core i5-1235U by 0.5% (16910). These deltas are minuscule, ranging from roughly 75 to 83 points out of approximately 16900, meaning the 7335U sits at the bottom of this four-way cluster by a hair.

Looking at specific multi-threaded workloads, the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 10703 provides a clearer picture of sustained throughput. This result is competitive for a 28 W part, and the Cinebench R20 multicore score of 4495 reinforces the chip’s ability to maintain performance across rendering and compute tasks. The PassMark multithread score of 12592 further corroborates this, though the PassMark physics score of 647 is notably modest, suggesting that the CPU’s raw compute throughput does not always translate to physics simulation performance. The data compression workload yields a strong PassMark score of 146309, while integer math reaches 42493 and floating-point math hits 24298, indicating balanced arithmetic capability. Encryption performance is lower at 9335, and extended instruction throughput is 10314, showing that the chip handles SIMD and cryptographic workloads adequately but not spectacularly.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The single-thread performance of the Ryzen 3 7335U is anchored by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1511 and a Cinebench R20 single-core score of 634. The PassMark single-thread score of 3053 is consistent with these results, placing the chip in a respectable position for everyday responsiveness. The ratio between multi-thread and single-thread scores in Cinebench R23 is approximately 7.1x (10703 divided by 1511), which is typical for a 4-core/8-thread design with a 4.30 GHz boost. This indicates that the processor scales well with thread count, but the absolute single-thread numbers are not class-leading.

This split has practical implications. For lightly threaded tasks such as web browsing, office productivity, or legacy application execution, the single-thread score of 1511 in Cinebench R23 suggests smooth operation, though it will not match higher-clocked desktop parts. Conversely, in multi-threaded scenarios like video encoding, 3D rendering, or batch data processing, the 8 threads provide a meaningful uplift—the Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1078 is nearly double the single-core score of 152, demonstrating efficient parallel scaling. The PassMark find prime numbers score of 36 is an outlier, indicating poor performance in this specific integer-heavy workload, which may reflect the architecture’s scheduling behavior under sustained prime-number generation. Overall, the chip behaves as a balanced mobile processor: adequate for single-thread duties and competent for multi-threaded bursts, but not specialized for either extreme.

Platform and Compatibility

The Ryzen 3 7335U is built for the AMD Socket FP7 platform, a mobile-specific package that supports the Rembrandt-R design. The architecture is Zen 3+, which is a refined version of Zen 3, and the chip is manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 208 mm². Memory support is limited to DDR5, operating on a dual-channel bus with a theoretical bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. ECC memory is supported, which is a notable feature for mobile workstations or reliability-focused deployments. PCIe connectivity is Gen 4 with 20 lanes available from the CPU, providing ample bandwidth for discrete GPUs and high-speed NVMe storage.

The integrated graphics is the Radeon 660M, which shares the die and offers a capable solution for multimedia and light gaming without a discrete GPU. The processor is not multiplier-unlocked, so overclocking is not an option, which is standard for mobile parts aiming to maintain thermal and power efficiency. The production status is active, and the release date is January 3, 2023. The part numbers are 100-000000537 (FP7) and 100-000000549 (FP7r2), indicating two package variants. The upgrade path is constrained by the FP7 socket, which is designed for this generation; users looking to upgrade would need to consider the entire platform rather than swapping the CPU alone.

How It Compares

Against the Intel Core Ultra 5 115U, the Ryzen 3 7335U holds a razor-thin 0.3% advantage in average score (16827 vs 16775). This means that in most real-world aggregate benchmarks, the two processors are indistinguishable, and any performance difference would likely be masked by thermal or power variations in mobile chassis. The 7335U’s higher boost clock of 4.30 GHz may help in burst workloads, but the overall parity suggests users should base decisions on platform features rather than raw CPU performance.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7235HS edges out the 7335U by 0.4%, with scores of 16902 and 16827 respectively. The Ryzen 5 part benefits from additional cores or higher sustained clocks, but the delta is small enough that the 7335U remains competitive. In multi-threaded tasks like Cinebench R23, the 7335U’s 10703 score would need to be compared directly, but the average score gap indicates the Ryzen 5 is slightly faster overall, likely due to better sustained power delivery.

The Intel Core i3-12100E is 0.5% ahead with a score of 16905. This desktop-derived part likely offers higher single-thread performance, but the 7335U’s mobile efficiency and integrated Radeon 660M graphics provide a different value proposition. The 12100E may win in CPU-centric benchmarks, but the 7335U is designed for portable systems where power draw and graphics capability matter more.

Finally, the Intel Core i5-1235U also leads by 0.5%, scoring 16910. The i5-1235U typically has more cores (10 total with efficiency cores), which would give it a multi-thread advantage, but the 7335U’s Zen 3+ architecture and higher boost clock help close the gap. The 0.5% delta is negligible in practice, meaning the 7335U holds its own against a higher-tier Intel part in aggregate performance, though the i5 may outperform in heavily threaded scenarios.
