AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U Benchmarks
The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U, a six-core server/workstation CPU, was released in April 2024. It belongs to the Ryzen 5 family and is based on the Zen 4 (Hawk Point) architecture and Socket FP7. The core count can rise to 12 threads thanks to AMD’s Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT).
The Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U uses very little energy, with a TDP of 28 W. AMD’s CPU has a dual-channel interface that supports DDR5 memory. Although 5600 MT/s is the maximum officially supported memory speed, overclocking (together with the appropriate memory modules) allows for even faster performance. Additionally, ECC memory is available, which is a crucial feature for mission-critical systems to prevent data corruption. A PCI-Express Gen 4 connector is used by the Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U to communicate with other parts of the computer.
Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U runs at 3.2 GHz by default, but depending on the workload, it may go to 4.9 GHz. It also includes 16 MB of L3 cache. AMD uses 20,900 million transistors to create the Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U on a 4 nm manufacturing node. The TSMC foundry, not AMD, fabricates the chip’s silicon die. Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U’s multiplier is locked, which restricts how much it can be overclocked.
The Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U has hardware virtualisation, which significantly boosts virtual machine performance. This processor can execute programs that use Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX), which improves speed for applications that require a lot of calculations.
