AMD not only has great processors for desktops but it also has some of the best mobile processors or as they call APUs (Accelerated Processing Unit). Similar to Intel, AMD also offers high-end processors for gaming and workstations which have the ‘H’ suffix, while the low-power processors for thin and ultralight laptops have the ‘U’ suffix.
Naturally, if you are looking for the best battery life, the ‘U’ processor lineup is what you should be looking for. Considering AMD’s not-so-great history with laptop processors, I suggest that you either go for the new Ryen 5000 mobile processor or the Ryzen 4000.
Here are all the low-powered mobile processors under the AMD Ryzen 5000 series:
AMD Ryzen 7 5800U 8-core/16-threads 15W
AMD Ryzen 7 5700U 8-core/16-threads 15W
AMD Ryzen 5 5600U 6-core/12-threads 15W
AMD Ryzen 5 5500U 6-core/12-threads 15W
AMD Ryzen 3 5400U 4-core/8-threads 15W
AMD Ryzen 3 5300U 4-core/8-threads 15W
Compared to Intel’s offerings, AMD offers up to 8-cores, 16-threads mobile processors that sip on just 15W of power. This is possible thanks to the company’s Zen 3 architecture that is based on the 7nm node. Notebooks with AMD Ryzen 5000 series are fairly new and are limited in number. You go also go for the Ryzen 4000 series as they also perform surprisingly well despite their low TDP rating.
AMD Ryzen 7 4800U 8-core/16-threads 15W
AMD Ryzen 7 4700U 8-core/8-threads 15W
AMD Ryzen 5 4600U 6-core/12-threads 15W
AMD Ryzen 5 4500U 6-core/6-threads 15W
AMD Ryzen 3 4300U 4-core/4-threads 15W
Notably, the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U was quite a hit and is still regarded as one of the best options if you are planning to buy a multi-core, low-power processor on a laptop.
Ryzen 4000 series are much better upgrade than the previous 3000 series
Nice to have a list of laptops that use the latest amd u processors.

I wanna buy a new cell phone but I must know which CPUs support a USB DAC. I know for sure that sgs3 supports this but I'm looking for something with 5.5" screen. Snapdragon 800 phones are too expensive, 400 are to weak and there is no snap 600 5.5" cells so I have no choice than MediaTek so do the MTK cells support a USB DAC??
Does anyone know if the Note 7 uses QQC2 or QQC3? The S7E uses QQC2, but I'd like to see QQC3 in the Note line.
Sadly, no. From Android Headlines...
"The other big question, when it comes to the battery, is always about fast charging or quick charging. Now here in the US, the Galaxy Note 7 is sporting the Snapdragon 820, which is a Quick Charge 3.0 compatible processor. However, much like the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, it will not be available on the Galaxy Note 7. However, Samsung’s Adaptive Fast Charging is here – which is about the speed of Quick Charge 2.0 from Qualcomm. So you’ll be able to charge your Galaxy Note 7 quickly, but perhaps not as quickly as a Quick Charge 3.0 charger would allow. That’s a bit unfortunate, but this is likely to keep the user experience the same for everyone, since their Exynos processors don’t support Quick Charge 3.0."
the charger output 12v=2.1a
that looks like qualcomm 3.0 speed

Interesting. That charger has a different model number than the one on the S7 Edge which is the same as my Note5. From Samsung's website...
Fast Charging - With new 25W USB-C Fast Charge technology, your battery can go from zero to up to 50% in about 30 minutes, so you can spend less time connected to an outlet. The 25W USB-C Fast Charge wall charger will charge the Galaxy Note7 and other USB-C devices without the Fast Charging feature as well, with up to a 2 Amp charging rate.
Qc 2....even though the LG g5 is qc3 due to the 820 processor. Since the Exnyos version only supports qc2, they didn't want the Qualcomm owners to have qc3.

Qc2

While everyone will have a different opinion of significant... In my opinion the difference between QC2 and QC3 is not that huge. It might be nice to have QC3, but I wouldn't make a purchase decision over it.
Based from Qualcomm's press release, in the fine print they noted that Galaxy Note7 features Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 and 3.0. There are conflicting reports everywhere so... I still don't know who to believe.
I can't post links yet but GIYF. :|
Yup... basically what aburns7487 says above is true.
The Exynos held Samsung back from using QC3 on this phone.
Or else everyone around the world would get a different experience.
This been confirmed yet.
How can a flagship device not have flagship features
This is my review of the RavPower RP-PC104 PD USB charger. I was given this charger for my review and opinion but I will try to be as impartial as possible.
This charger won't be for everyone because of probably two reasons, cost and available ports. The cost of this charger is just under $55 so that will eliminate a lot of buyers for that reason alone. The other reason is this charger only having one port and that being a "C" port, because not a lot of people have a C to C cable laying around and it doesn't come with one. I didn't but I was lucky to have two adapters, one that came with my IconX buds and another that came with my Galaxy S9. That's the bad and now for the good.
I'll start with the dimensions and this is a plus for me. It's just over a half inch thick - around 14mm and measures 2.83 x 2.12 inches. It fit nicely behind my nightstand and is great for traveling since the plug folds into slots on the back.
This charger will charge just about anything, so if you want to travel and can manage with just the one port, then this would be the only charger you'll need. It does support Qualcomm QC 3.0 and because it's UL certified plus has built-in safeguards to protect against any damage such as overcharging, overheating and short circuiting, I feel it's safe for my devices. It's voltage specifications are: 100V–240V (85–264V) 50 / 60Hz 1. 25A Output: USB-C PD 3.0 (5V / 3A, 9V / 3A, 12V / 3A, 15V / 3A, 20V / 2. 25A). I have personally tested it on a Macbook Pro, Iphone X and a Galaxy S9 and it performed flawlessly. RavPower lists the charger as being compatible with:
Apple iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 8; Samsung Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9 Plus, Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8 Plus, Note 8, Note 7; HUAWEI Mate 20X, Mate 20 Pro, Mate 20, Mate RS, Mate 10 Pro, Mate 10; XIAOMI A2, Mi 8, Mi 8 SE, MIX 2S, MIX2; Google Pixel/Pixel XL, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X; Honor V10, 10; Apple MacBook (2015), MacBook Pro (2016-2018); ASUS Zenbook 3, Zenbook Flip S etc; Dell XPS 13, XPS 15 etc; Google Pixelbook (2017); Chromebook Pixel (2015) ; Huawei Matebook X Pro; HP EliteBook 8x0 G5, Spectre 13, Spectre Pro 13, Spectre X2, ZBook G5; Razer Blade Stealth.
This charger seems well built and solid and the ability to charge just about anything places it on a completely different standard than other wall chargers and justifies the cost. I probably wouldn't have given this charger a second glance because of the price, but now that it's in my hands I can see justification for the cost and the need for a charger like this.
I want to optimize the charger's time speed by buying a new and trustful charger, but I don't have a clue about how many watts this Quick Charger 4.0+ on the redmi note 8 pro supports... someone may give me a little help? ?
Looks like even though the processor supports qc4.0, Xiaomi went with a qc3.0 Battery Charger chipset.
https://www.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8-pro-teardown-confirms-quick-charge-3-0-support/
what!?! so it isn't QC 4+ ??
guess gotta see what's its maximum watts support for QC 3.0 then ;---;
I recently sold a PC to a client with great specifications; I am talking 16GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM, 1TB SSD , AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor and NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070 8GB. Naturally, the first thing expected to be done by the PC is Gaming; sadly, it underperforms with CPU TDP limited at 15W on power and Refresh rates not going past 100Hz( it supports 144Hz).
This happens even at max settings on the NVIDIA control panel. What might be the issue? Anyone else undergoing through the same problem?
