AMD expands Ryzen lineup with new Hawk Point mobile processors

AMD announced the addition of eleven Hawk Point mobile processors to its Ryzen family, covering both the Ryzen 100 and Ryzen 200 series. The new models, launched on June 2, include the Ryzen 7 253, Ryzen 7 249, Ryzen 5 225, Ryzen 5 224, Ryzen 7 217, Ryzen 5 216 and Ryzen 3 205 in the 200 line, and the Ryzen 9 180, Ryzen 7 165, Ryzen 7 155 and Ryzen 5 125 in the 100 line. All use Zen 4 or a hybrid Zen 4/Zen 4c core design and integrate RDNA 3 graphics. Notably, the Ryzen 3 205 combines two Zen 4 cores with four Zen 4c cores, offering six cores but only eight threads.

The launch also mentions a separate H‑series aimed at the Chinese market, mirroring many global models and adding the Ryzen 7 H 255 with eight Zen 4 cores and Radeon 780M graphics. In a related discussion, AMD’s AM4 desktop processors—such as the Ryzen 5 5600GT with integrated graphics and the higher‑end Ryzen 7 5800X3D—are contrasted, highlighting how the former targets budget builds without a discrete GPU while the latter serves performance‑focused users with a dedicated graphics card.
