AMD Ryzen 7 8840U
Opinion and specs
Our verdict
High-endThe AMD Ryzen 7 8840U is a high-end processor. It is a low-power chip that still performs like the mid-range ones: it draws what an ultraportable draws and performs like a work laptop. It came out in 2024.
It is currently fitted in a single laptop, which costs $949.
Above $2299 there are clearly better options: for that money the Apple M5 Pro 15 Core is 110% faster. That is the sensible ceiling.
