Hello everyone. Welcome to the first huge video on this channel in 2022. I hope you had a good new year’s eve and I wish you all the best in 2022. Today’s video is about a well-known friend on this channel. It’s the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U with its integrated Radeon Graphics that I’ve already tested in April 2021 using a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 and 16GB of dual-channel RAM. It’s not common that I’m retesting an APU on this channel, but so many people asked what the performance would be like if you’re just using 8GB of RAM. Recently, I had the opportunity to get access to an HP Envy x360 15 with the same 5500U, integrated Radeon Graphics, and 8 GB of dual-channel RAM. So I figured, “Why not run this system through 23 games to see if there are any differences between a 16GB model?” Or maybe 8GB is a complete no-go in 2022 and you should aim for 16GB instead. We’re going to find out in this video.

Well, first of all, pure performance-wise, the 5500U is a solid product. It’s good enough for running any application at a decent performance level. This goes for video editing, office stuff, CAD, but also streaming is no problem for this APU. So, therefore, related to games, the CPU part of the 5500U has got no problem running the latest titles. The huge bottleneck is obviously the integrated Radeon graphics, which is more or less at around the same level, if it’s paired with the dual-channel ram, like the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 GDDR5. So it’s adequate for less demanding games like Genshin Impact, but heavy titles like Call of Duty Warzone or Battlefield 2042 are barely playable to unplayable.

So, as already mentioned previously, due to the fact that we’re using integrated Radeon graphics, the RAM is very important. Since Radeon Graphics has no dedicated VRAM, it’s able to take 512MB up to 2GB of your normal system RAM as VRAM. So if you’re running on 8GB of RAM, up to 2GB of RAM is reserved for the integrated graphics. The tested HP model in this video has a minimum of 671MB of reserved memory for the IGPU. So already in Windows, you’ve got only 7.3GB of the original 8GB remaining as system RAM. And this is the main reason why I strongly recommend buying a system with 16GB of dual-channel RAM instead of 8GB. Because, in reality, only 14 GB of the 16 GB is available. But that’s way better than running on the remaining 6GB of 8GB in the worst-case scenario because this is simply a pure pain in the ass RAM amount to use in 2022. Using just 8GB of RAM is already becoming a problem in a lot of titles. For example, Warzone has been crashing directly after launch. With 16GB of RAM, it would run without crashing and other titles like Forza Horizon 5, for example, would run way better.

So all in all, like in my last benchmark of April 2021, I can strongly recommend the Ryzen 5 5500U if you’re on a tight budget but you still want to play all the most common titles like GTA V, Minecraft, Fortnite, CS: GO, and so on. You’re basically able to play all the E-Sport titles. Way more demanding games like Warzone, Halo Infinite, and Battlefield 2042 should be played on a system with a powerful dedicated GPU instead of integrated graphics. But no matter what system you’re going to buy, if it’s integrated graphics, pay attention to buying a system with dual-channel RAM (meaning 2 RAM bars) and at least 16GB of RAM in 2022. 8GB is simply outdated.

That’s it for my voiceover. I hope you’re going to like this benchmark compilation. If you do, feel free to leave a like and consider subscribing to this channel. Stay safe and have a great day. I’ll hopefully see you all in the next one. Cheers.
