2018 Acer Nitro 5 in 2024 - Ryzen 2500U + RX 560 Laptop Still Usable??

This is an Acer Nitro 5 from 2018, and this video is part of my series of seeing how old machines handle these days. This is, if my memory serves me right, Acer’s first all AMD laptop, sporting a Ryzen 5 2500U with 8GB of RAM, and an RX 560 with 4GB of VRAM, plus a 128GB M.2 SSD and a 1TB hard drive. Don’t be fooled by the 2 in the CPU name though, this is actually a first gen Ryzen part - it’s Zen. Zen 1 if you will - not Zen+, Zen 1. That means this isn’t exactly a powerhouse, plus this being a “U” SKU chip means it’s ultra-low-power. It’s just a 15W chip, which compared to modern Intel chips that suck back 100+ watts, this is nothing. As you might expect, that means CPU performance is, well, pretty naff. Cinebench shows this as having notably worse performance than the much, much older i7 4700MQ in the Chillblast machine at 2400 points versus 3000, and of course it absolutely pales in comparison to a modern chip with over a factor of ten more performance. Single threaded is actually a fair bit worse too, getting dangerously close to the 740QM’s 411 points in the ancient Asus G53J. Blender has the BMW scene within two minutes of the 4700MQ, but the Gooseberry scene is a lot closer to the 740QM, taking just shy of two whole hours to render one frame. For context, the 13980HX in the STRIX Scar 16 took under eight and a half minutes. What progress! The most surprising thing for me though was the power figures. This little thing only sucked back 6 watts! Ok, so there’s a bit of context you need. The way HWInfo reports the power for this chip means that is the core only power. The rest of the chip did draw around 12 watts at peak, but considering the performance, that is actually really impressive!
