During CES 2022, AMD announced its new AMD Ryzen 6000 Series laptop CPUs featuring the company'south Zen 3 Plus architecture with the latest RDNA 2 graphics. According to the company, these processors are the fastest withal.

The Ryzen 6000 CPUs are built using TSMC'southward 6nn process engineering science and are designed to deliver better graphics performance for 1080p gaming. The fries likewise have increased battery life and additional features.

Here's everything we know about the AMD Ryzen 6000 CPUs.

AMD Ryzen 6000: Price and release date

At that place will be xiii different Ryzen 6000 CPUs and over 200 laptops featuring these new AMD processors, meaning that pricing will differ depending on laptop configuration and retailers.

The first Ryzen 6000-powered laptops are expected to roll out starting in February 2022. This includes both productivity and gaming laptops from vendors such equally Dell, Razer, Lenovo, Asus, Acer and HP.

AMD Ryzen 6000: Configurations

Here is a list of all 13 AMD Ryzen 6000 CPUs announced. Note that the H-Series is a bit beefier than the U-series, equally the H-series CPUs are designed for laptops aimed at gamers and creators every bit opposed to thin-and-light productivity machines.

	Cores/Threads	Boost Frequency	Cache	TDP
AMD Ryzen 9 6980HX	8C/16T	Upwardly to five.0GHz	20MB	45W+
AMD Ryzen ix 6980HS	8C/16T	Up to 5.0GHz	20MB	35W
AMD Ryzen ix 6900HX	8C/16T	Up to iv.9GHz	20MB	45W+
AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS	8C/16T	Upwardly to four.9GHz	20MB	35W
AMD Ryzen 7 6800H	8C/16T	Up to 4.7GHz	20MB	45W
AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS	8C/16T	Up to 4.7GHz	20MB	35W
AMD Ryzen 5 6600H	6C/12T	Up to 4.5GHz	19MB	45W
AMD Ryzen 5 6600HS	6C/12T	Upwardly to four.5GHz	19MB	35W
AMD Ryzen seven 6800U	8C/16T	Up to 4.7GHz	20MB	15-28W
AMD Ryzen 5 6600U	6C/12T	Up to 4.5GHz	19MB	15-28W
AMD Ryzen 7 5825U	8C/16T	Up to four.5GHz	20MB	15W
AMD Ryzen five 5625U	6C/12T	Up to 4.3GHz	19MB	15W
AMD Ryzen 3 5425U	4C/8T	Up to 4.1GHz	10MB	15W

AMD Ryzen 6000: Performance

AMD Ryzen 6000 processors are built on the updated AMD Zen iii+ cadre, which is optimized to deliver higher operation-for-watt. The chips accept clock speeds of up to 5GHz, one.3x faster processing speeds, and upwards to 2.1x faster graphics over the 5000 series.

New adaptive power management features adjust speed quickly. This includes a new deep slumber feature that helps salvage on power. According to AMD, Ryzen 6000 CPUs tin can apply up to 30% less power for video conferencing. The company says the processors can achieve upwardly to 24 hours of motion picture playback on a single charge.

The Ryzen 6000 CPUs have up to eight cores, each capable of handling multiple tasks at the same time, and can deliver up to xvi threads of processing power. Co-ordinate to AMD, the CPUs are capable of up to 11% more single single-threaded performance and upward to 28% faster multithreaded functioning over the 5000 series cards.

AMD Ryzen 6000 CPUs are the first mobile processors to characteristic RDNA ii compages-based built-in graphics. AMD claims the Ryzen 6000 chips evangelize the world's first on-chip graphics that can smoothly play the vast majority of PC games in Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels). The CPUs as well have a new integrated display engine that allows for higher resolutions and refresh rates. AMD stated that the Ryzen 6000 Series enables up to seventy% faster gaming operation compared to competitors. Dynamic HDR displays and AMD FreeSync technology are other features.

The Ryzen 9 6980HX is the visitor's beefiest laptop CPU for 2022. It packs eight cores with 16 threads, a base 3.3GHz clock and a boosted max speed of 5GHz. AMD claims that the 6980HX is the "fastest AMD Ryzen processor yet." This is technically correct since the desktop-class Ryzen 9 5950X has a max clock speed of four.9GHz. But every bit we said in our original report on the AMD 6000 Series processors, nosotros would be willing to bet that final year's tiptop-end Ryzen desktop CPU volition outperform this year's fastest Ryzen laptop CPU.

AMD Ryzen 6000: Additional features and security

The Ryzen 6000 graphics cards characteristic DDR5 memory, support for PCIe 4.0 and USB4, AI noise counterfoil and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.

The new AMD cards will be amid the offset x86 processors with full back up for Windows 11 security features, thanks to their integrated Microsoft Pluton security processor. In addition, the fries will feature advanced DDR5 memory, enhanced back up for PCIe iv.0 and USB 4, AI noise cancellation options and more.

AMD Ryzen 6000: Outlook

The AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors are conspicuously meant to rival Intel'due south new 12th Gen Intel Core Alder Lake CPUs. Based on the charts AMD provided, the fries will deliver big operation boosts to laptops. Virtually exciting of all is that devices using Ryzen 6000 processors are gear up to release as early on as Feb 2022. That ways nosotros'll presently be able to perform our own benchmarks to see if the fries are capable of everything AMD claims.

If the processors are as performant equally nosotros expect, we'll no doubt run into updates to our best laptops and best gaming laptops lists in 2022.
