A single digit can change everything. They look similar in name but are in fact really different performance-wise.

Im confused here, Ryzen 7520U release in September 2022 earlier than 7530U, 4 Core cpu using Zen2 with 6nm and newer Radeon 610M equip with 2 RT Core. A year later, Ryzen 7530U has 6 core cpu based on Zen3 but 7nm and older yet a lot more powerful Radeon Vega 7 with absent of RT Core. in fact, i found that it's very similar to Ryzen 5 5600G but lower clockspeed but watch this, Ryzen 6600U came 8 months earlier than 7520U, pack with 6 Core based on Zen3+ 6nm and most powerful Radeon 660M. It's like AMD is evoluting backward. Ryzen 7520U is frankenstein piece of junk that they make, the cpu performance sit between Ryzen 4300U and 4500U (both are from 2020). But the igpu is so bad IT OUT PERFORMED BY VEGA 3 THAT CAME FROM 2019!!
