After the announcement, it’s time for the launch. The first laptops with AMD Ryzen 6000 mobile processors are on their way to a store shelf near you.
During CES, AMD announced its latest laptop processors. In total, the CPU specialist introduced 28 new chips, ranging from powerful HX processors to economical U-chips. Processors from the H range appear first in the wild. Those chips have a TDP between 35 watts and 45 watts, and are aimed primarily at powerful devices such as gaming laptops or workstations.
AMD distinguishes between the announcement on Jan. 5 and the launch now, although in practice there is little new to rake in. The main details the company revealed back in January. The chips come with (LP)DDR5 support, PCIe4, USB 4, Wifi 6E, are baked on 6 nm and use the Zen 3+ architecture. You can read the details on it in our earlier piece.
Graphic power
AMD unpacks with additional benchmark data and details. For example, we discover that the RDNA2 graphics built into the chips should offer up to 81 percent more processing power than previous implementations. Across the board, the processors are said to outperform equivalents from Intel. For example, the Ryzen 7 6800U is 24 percent faster than the Intel Core i7-11857G, according to AMD. Comparisons with new 12th-generation chips are still lacking.
