AMD · Ryzen 5 · 2023 · FP7 / FP7r2
The AMD Ryzen 5 8540U is a mobile (laptop) processor with 6 cores, released in 2023. It is part of the Ryzen 5 lineup, using the Ryzen 8000 platform, and uses the FP7 / FP7r2 package, which is soldered to the laptop's motherboard rather than socketed. Internally, it is built on the "Hawk Point" architecture. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT), each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 12 threads for improved parallelism. The Ryzen 5 8540U has a base clock of 3.2 GHz and can boost up to 4.9 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. AMD manufactures the "Hawk Point" silicon on a 4 nm process node. This processor supports DDR5/LPDDR5X memory. With a base TDP of 28W and a configurable TDP of 15–30W, which the laptop maker sets to suit its cooling design, the Ryzen 5 8540U is a balanced power envelope suited to mainstream laptops. Integrated graphics are provided by the Radeon 740M solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy includes 6MB of L2 and 16MB of L3 cache.
