The Ryzen 5 7533HS is a new Rembrandt-R -based APU that AMD quietly introduced to the market last year and is just now appearing in budget laptops via realVictor_M at X. To clarify, this isn't exactly a brand-new chip; it is simply a rebadged Ryzen 5 7535HS, with lower boost clocks and presumably a more attractive price tag for partner(s).
The Ryzen 5 7533HS breaks away from AMD's original naming convention for the Ryzen 7000/8000 series, where the last digit was used to indicate versions within an architecture ('0' for the lower model and '5' for the upper model), like Zen 3 (7530) versus Zen 3+ (7535). This isn't entirely surprising as AMD has a history of abandoning naming schemes, evident with their latest shift to "Ryzen AI". The Ryzen 5 7533HS is tagged under the Rembrandt-R family, with Zen 3+ cores and an RDNA 2-based iGPU.
In terms of specifications, the Ryzen 5 7533HS is nothing special. It wields a six-core / twelve-thread layout, along with 3MB of L2 and 16MB of L3 cache. The included Radeon 660M iGPU offers six RDNA2-based Compute Units. There's a 150 MHz drop in boost clocks compared to the Ryzen 5 7535HS. As the 'HS' modifier indicates, the APU has a configurable TDP between 35W and 54W, with support for DDR5-4800 (SODIMM) and LPDDR5-6400 (Soldered RAM) memory types.

Boost Clocks | 4.75 GHz | 4.55 GHz | 4.40 GHz |
L2/L3 Cache | 4MB/16MB | 3MB/16MB | 3MB/16MB |
TDP | 35W-54W | 35W-54W | 35W-54W |
While the Ryzen 5 7533HS won't certainly top any performance charts, it still appears to be a solid choice for affordable laptops. On that note, this chip has only appeared in several of Lenovo's newest laptops, like the ThinkBook 16 Gen 7, IdeaPad Slim 3/5, just to name a few. This strongly hints at Lenovo exclusivity, and that's not surprising considering that rumors suggest AMD's latest Ryzen Z2 Go , launched in January, was developed explicitly for Lenovo's Legion Go S .
As it stands, AMD's mobile portfolio looks something like this (in order of descending price and performance): Strix Halo (Ryzen AI Max), Strix Point (Ryzen AI 360/370), Krackan Point (Ryzen AI 340/350), Hawk Point (Ryzen 200), and Rembrandt-R (Ryzen 7035). There might be some shuffling with a potential Gorgon Point (Strix Point Refresh), but don't expect any massive changes until Medusa Point (Zen 6 APUs).
