They’re from different generations though. 5500U is Zen 2 while 7430U is Zen 3.

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

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.

Everyone’s nomenclature sucks after 2016. Model numbers don’t mean anything lol
