- Chuwi CoreBook X was advertised with an AMD Ryzen 5 7430U but actually contains an older AMD Ryzen 5 5500U.
- The discrepancy was confirmed by checking the OPN number on the chip after disassembling the device.
- Initial performance tests showed anomalies, but these were initially attributed to single-channel RAM rather than a different CPU.
- Benchmark comparisons reveal significant performance differences between the advertised 7430U and the actual 5500U.
- Chuwi responded by citing different production batches and remaining stock but did not admit fault or offer a clear resolution.
