The entry-level AMD Ryzen 3 7740U (Little Phoenix) scored 2,323 and 6,591 points in Geekbench 6.1. The 4-core, 8-thread processor performs on par with the Intel Core i5-1335p.
It has been a while since AMD unveiled its Ryzen 7040HS series of low-power (15-28 Watts) laptop processors. Some found their way into handheld consoles, while others, such as the Ryzen 3 7440U, are yet to see the light of day. The entry-level chip has now shown up on Geekbench alongside a Solidrun Bedrock mini-PC.
The AMD Ryzen 3 7440U scores 2,323 and 6,591 in Geekbench 6.1’s single and multi-core tests, respectively. The 4-core, 8-thread CPU boosts up to 4.738 GHz, about as much as advertised. Performance-wise, it trades blows with the Intel Core i5-1335U (2,377) in single-core performance but lags in multi-core (9,094).
Additionally, the Ryzen 3 7440U punches well above its weight class when compared against the Barcelo aka the Ryzen 7030U series. It outperforms the better-specced Ryzen 7 7730U (1,976/7,706) by a significant margin, once again held back due to its limited core count.
It is rumoured the Ryzen 3 7440U packs a smaller Zen 4c die dubbed “Little Phoenix”. Unfortunately, there is no way to confirm said speculation via a Geekbench listing. Other specs include an RDNA 3 Radeon 740m iGPU with 4 CUs and a dedicated AI accelerator.
