== Primary Hardware ==
{{CheckAI}}
=== [[Central Processing Unit (CPU)|Processor]] ===
The HP Envy x360 15" (2023) can come with the following processors<ref name="specs" />:
*[[AMD Ryzen 5 7530U]] with 6 cores and 12 threads, up to 4.5 GHz max boost clock, 16 MB L3 cache.
*[[AMD Ryzen 7 7730U]] with 8 cores and 16 threads, up to 4.5 GHz max boost clock, 16 MB L3 cache.
*[[Intel Core i5-1335U]] with 10 cores and 12 threads, up to 4.6 GHz max boost clock, 12 MB cache.
*[[Intel Core i7-1355U]] with 10 cores and 12 threads, up to 5.0 GHz max boost clock, 12 MB cache.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7730U performs well in single- and multi-threaded workloads, making it suitable for general productivity tasks and more demanding workloads like programming. The Intel CPUs are likely faster, but the difference isn't noticeable unless you perform intensive tasks that push the CPUs to near-maximum capacity. The laptop can handle light productivity tasks and moderately intensive workloads effectively.<ref name="rtings">{{cite web |url=https://www.rtings.com/laptop/reviews/hp/envy-x360-15-2023 |title=HP Envy x360 15 (2023) Review |publisher=RTINGS}}</ref> The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U processor, featured in some configurations, offers improved performance with higher PC Mark 10 scores and better single-core and multi-core scores in Geekbench 5 and Cinebench R23. The processor handles everyday tasks such as Microsoft Office, email, and web browsing efficiently, and can manage 1080p video editing.<ref name="andrewmarcdavid">{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9nDojaq1I8 |title=HP Envy x360 15 (2023) Review |publisher=AndrewMarcDavid}}</ref>

Processor

The HP Envy x360 15" (2023) can come with the following processors[1]:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 7530U with 6 cores and 12 threads, up to 4.5 GHz max boost clock, 16 MB L3 cache.
  • AMD Ryzen 7 7730U with 8 cores and 16 threads, up to 4.5 GHz max boost clock, 16 MB L3 cache.
  • Intel Core i5-1335U with 10 cores and 12 threads, up to 4.6 GHz max boost clock, 12 MB cache.
  • Intel Core i7-1355U with 10 cores and 12 threads, up to 5.0 GHz max boost clock, 12 MB cache.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7730U performs well in single- and multi-threaded workloads, making it suitable for general productivity tasks and more demanding workloads like programming. The Intel CPUs are likely faster, but the difference isn't noticeable unless you perform intensive tasks that push the CPUs to near-maximum capacity. The laptop can handle light productivity tasks and moderately intensive workloads effectively.[4] The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U processor, featured in some configurations, offers improved performance with higher PC Mark 10 scores and better single-core and multi-core scores in Geekbench 5 and Cinebench R23. The processor handles everyday tasks such as Microsoft Office, email, and web browsing efficiently, and can manage 1080p video editing.[5]

Benchmarks:

  • Geekbench 5:
    • CPU Single-Thread: 1,466 points
    • CPU Multi-Thread: 7,782 points[4]
  • Cinebench R23:
    • Single-Thread: 1,463 points
    • Multi-Thread: 10,069 points[4]

Graphics

In addition to the integrated AMD Radeon Graphics and Intel Iris Xe, the HP Envy x360 15" (2023) can be configured with the following discrete GPU[1]:
