Two things: - Yes, the 6650U is much better. It has newer graphics, newer video encode/decode, better io, more power saving features, support for faster memory

Two things:
- Yes, the 6650U is much better. It has newer graphics, newer video encode/decode, better io, more power saving features, support for faster memory, integrated wifi... pretty much the only thing thats the same is the specs of the cores, which is why it looks so similar on paper.
- *BUT* AMD butchered the 6000 series naming scheme. Some of the 6000 chips are rebranded 5000 and 4000 chips. If you find another 6000 model you like, you should look it up before assuming its "new."
- meravita 4y agoThanks, though the performance seems to be almost the same https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/amd-ryzen-5-pro-6650u-vs-amd-ryzen-5-5625u https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/amd-ryzen-5-pro-6650u-... Shouldn't there be a clearer difference if the processor really is better?
- brucethemoose2 4y agoDont trust automated reviews, trust notebookcheck, who is probably the most thorough laptop reviewer out there.: https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-5-PRO-6650U-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.615520.0.html https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-5-PRO-6650U-Processo... Again, the CPU is similar, but everything else on the 6000 series is a straight upgrade.
- meravita 4y agoThat seems to be a difference of 3.1% https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-5-5625U-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.590122.0.html https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-5-5625U-Processor-Be... So the performance is similar, right?
- brucethemoose2 4y agoYes but everything else (battery life, USB, wifi, graphics performance in the browser, video playback, memory bound workloads, probably fan speed) is going to be better on the 6000 series. Of course the key is price, as always, so I guess the benefits depend on how much more expensive the elitebook is.
