AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U

AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U is a 4-core, 8-thread mobile processor with a 2000.00 MHz base clock and a 3.60 GHz boost clock. It uses the Zen architecture with the Raven Ridge codename, and the generation is listed as Ryzen 5 (Zen (Raven Ridge)). GlobalFoundries builds the chip on a 14 nm process, and the die measures 246 mm². The chip includes Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics, carries a 15 W TDP, and belongs to the Mobile market segment. Its aggregate benchmark score is 1657, placing it in the 41st percentile of all CPUs in the database.

How It Compares

The closest aggregate rival is the Intel Core i7-4810MQ. That processor averages 1658, against 1657 for the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. The deltaPct between them is 0, so the data shows the two are effectively tied in overall average performance.

Against the Intel Core i5-4670K, the 2500U holds a narrow edge. The i5-4670K averages 1654, while the 2500U averages 1657. The reported deltaPct is 0.2, meaning the 2500U is 0.2% ahead in aggregate benchmark score.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1605B is the closest AMD rival by average. It scores 1652, and the 2500U leads by a deltaPct of 0.3. The 2500U’s aggregate score is therefore 0.3% higher than the embedded part’s average.

The only nearest rival with a higher average is the AMD Ryzen 7 2700U. That chip averages 1663, while the 2500U averages 1657, producing a deltaPct of -0.3. The 2500U sits 0.3% behind the higher-tier Ryzen 7 SKU.

Power and Thermals

The TDP is 15 W, placing the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U in the low-power mobile class. This is a small thermal envelope, and the cooling tier it implies is a compact, low-profile solution suited to a laptop chassis rather than a large desktop heatsink. A 15 W processor can be handled with a modest heat pipe and fan assembly, and the market segment is explicitly Mobile.

The integrated Radeon Vega 8 GPU operates within the same 15 W TDP budget, so the cooling solution must absorb loads from both the CPU and the graphics block. Thermal design is also affected by the physical silicon: the die is manufactured by GlobalFoundries on a 14 nm process and measures 246 mm². Those specifications describe the underlying silicon, but the 15 W TDP is the primary reference for cooler selection.

Platform and Compatibility

The Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U uses AMD Socket FP5. Memory support is DDR4, routed through a dual-channel bus with 38.4 GB/s of bandwidth. ECC memory is not supported. The PCIe interface is Gen 3 with 8 lanes available from the CPU. Because the processor includes Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics, the platform can operate without a discrete graphics card.

The cache hierarchy consists of 96 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 4 MB of shared L3 cache. The architecture is Zen, with the Raven Ridge codename. Production status is Active, and the release date is 2019-01-07. The exact part number is YM250BC4T4MFB. The multiplier is not unlocked, so the processor is intended to run at its 2000.00 MHz base clock and 3.60 GHz boost clock rather than accept user overclocking.

For upgrade path, the socket and market segment define compatibility with Mobile systems built around Socket FP5. The processor is not attached to a general desktop socket ecosystem; any platform must use the same FP5 interface and mobile design constraints.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmark data covers Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and Geekbench. In Cinebench R15, the multi-core score is 571 and the single-core score is 80. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 2383 and the single-core score is 336. In Cinebench R23, the multi-core score is 5676 and the single-core score is 801. Geekbench multi-core is 2540 and single-core is 867.

The aggregate average benchmark score is 1657. That places the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U at the 41st percentile of all CPUs in the database, meaning the majority of recorded CPUs have higher average scores. The nearest rival set is tightly clustered around that 1657 figure. The Intel Core i7-4810MQ averages 1658 with a deltaPct of 0, so the 2500U is statistically level with it. The Intel Core i5-4670K averages 1654, and the 2500U is 0.2% ahead. The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1605B averages 1652, and the 2500U is 0.3% ahead. The AMD Ryzen 7 2700U averages 1663, and the 2500U is 0.3% behind.

Those deltaPct values show that the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U occupies a performance band with no meaningful separation from its nearest neighbors. The largest advantage in this group is 0.3% over the Ryzen Embedded V1605B, and the largest deficit is 0.3% to the Ryzen 7 2700U. No nearest rival moves more than 0.3% away from the 2500U’s aggregate score.

Among the multi-core results, Cinebench R23 multi-core is the highest absolute score at 5676. Geekbench multi-core is 2540, which is lower than the R23 result but higher than the Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 2383. The Cinebench R15 multi-core score is 571. Single-core performance shows a similar step pattern: Cinebench R15 single-core is 80, Cinebench R20 single-core is 336, Cinebench R23 single-core is 801, and Geekbench single-core is 867. These scores describe the chip’s positioning against the nearest rivals, all of which are within the same aggregate performance cluster.
