The Ryzen AI 5 330 is a budget quad-core processor built on the new Krackan Point 2 APU and it is aimed at budget laptops and miniature PCs. Being an addition to the already existing Ryzen AI 300 series, this processor provides consumers with an affordable model of the SP5 architecture, providing a good balance of performance and efficiency. The chip has one Zen 5 performance core (up to 4.5 GHz) and three Zen 5c efficiency cores (up to 3.4 GHz), which makes it good at single-threaded performance, which is comparable to the old Ryzen 7 processors, but it is less impressive in its multi-core.
What is notable is its NPU-based XDNA 2, which has an AI performance of 50 TOPS, equaling the higher- end Strix Point APUs designed by AMD. This makes it compatible with the Copilot+ AI features offered by Microsoft rendering the Ryzen AI 5 330 a good choice of affordable AI PCs. It has integrated graphics in the form of an AMD Radeon 820M GPU, consisting of only two RDNA 3.5 compute units which is well suited to 4K videos, but otherwise should not be used in gaming or other graphics-intensive operations. TDP of the chip is 15 to 28 watts, which makes it power-efficient in thin-and-light devices.
The Ryzen AI 5 330 has modern connectivity considering it is an entry-level chip: it supports LPDDR5x-8000 and DDR5-5600 memory, as well as two USB 4 ports. According to Geekbench leaks, it scores 1,949 in single-core and 7,047 in multi-core which is 26-33% behind the Ryzen AI 5 340. In the upcoming months the major OEMs such as Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and MSI will be introducing systems based on this APU with an initial price of approximately $699. At the same time focusing on AI performance and optimisations, AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 rewrites the limits of budget laptops, rivalling Intel Lunar Lake in its segment under 800 dollars.
