The model page was removed from AMD’s site (404), so specifications were checked on 2026-11-15 against an archived copy of the official page from 2024-01-27 (web.archive.org). Fields missing from the page are left empty (unknown). Memory speed: DDR4-3200 / LPDDR4-4266. AMD lists a configurable TDP of 10–25 W. The laptop maker sets the power in each laptop, so benchmark results depend on the laptop model.
Specifications: AMD, checked November 15, 2026.
