Warning: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U

A supposed bargain is currently causing considerable discussion: The Chuwi CoreBook X, which is officially advertised with an AMD Ryzen 5 7430U, has an older Ryzen 5 5500U installed. This system software deceives the user. This not only raises the question of performance, but also severely damages trust in the manufacturer's product specifications.

Oops, my mistake

Apology accepted. Have a great day!

Its model number, as I said, was A80501. You switched from model numbers to names.

You're embarrassing yourself with your pedantry. You said 80486 didn't exist. It did. Seriously, quit while you're behind here.

The first Pentium had a model number of A80501, but you wouldn't seriously claim that it's really the 80501, would you?

It's called the i486.

Back in the 1990s Intel broke with convention of using ever increasing numeric model numbers

  • 8086
  • 8088
  • 80186
  • 80286
  • 80386
  • 80486
  • Pentium ...wait, what?! Not 80586? Nope.

Intel didn't like that other CPU manufacturers of x86 CPUs (AMD, Cyrix, IBM) could use the same numbering scheme. So Intel created "Pentium" because it could be copyrighted/trademarked so other companies couldn't use it.

Model numbers don't mean anything is what I mean lol

That’s my bad for not remembering AMD’s fucking atrocious nonstandard mobile chip naming schemes.

Atrocious compared to Intel? The first CPU with the name Core i7 was released in 2008, but Intel is still releasing a CPU named Core i7 as recently as 2023. They both suck, but in different ways.

That said, I went and looked up both models, they are both listed as using the FP6 interface. So they are electrically and mechanically compatible, likely just needing a bios update, my point is still valid.

It might be a big effort to make a custom one for review, more than just dropping in another part. And more costly too, if it meant redesigning other parts.

With this kind of scam they would normally make sure the review models had the correct processor. I wonder if this was done by a supplier or subcontractor without them knowing.
