In the past few years, the AMD platform has won a good market reputation with its excellent performance and high cost performance, the market share has increased rapidly, and netizens will always shout "AMD YES" to express their affirmation of the AMD platform. Fast forward to 2022, AMD released the latest generation of Ryzen™ 6000 series mobile processors, this time can still be "AMD YES"?
In the early morning of January 5, AMD officially released the Ryzen 6000 series mobile processor, which is built using TSMC's 6NM process. Officials said that the Ryzen 6000 series has a lower power consumption and higher performance than the previous generation of Ryzen 5000.
Specifically, the Ryzen 6000 series mobile processors are equipped with AMD's "Zen 3+" architecture based on the "Zen 3" upgrade, and the core size continues to maintain a maximum of 8 cores and 16 threads. Officially, the architecture has been deeply optimized for power management, and the energy efficiency ratio is significantly improved compared with the previous generation.
According to the official report, the ultra-thin notebook equipped with AMD Ryzen 6000 series processors consumes 30% less power than the previous generation when conducting video conferencing, and a single full charge can provide up to 24 hours of video playback time and can maintain a low core temperature.
The GPU architecture of the Ryzen 6000 series mobile processors is upgraded to the new RDNA 2 architecture, which is right, the GPU architecture of the same source of game consoles in this era, and the graphics processing speed is doubled compared with the previous generation.
Officials said that the newly upgraded Ryzen 6000 series of nuclear display is enough to deal with most computer games smoothly in Full HD. The author believes that the so-called "most computer games" should refer to the vast majority of online games and some older AAA stand-alone masterpieces. If you want to play the latest AAA masterpiece in Full HD, you still need to be equipped with a unique display to be more secure.
However, thanks to the GPU architecture upgrade and better support for FSR-Super Resolution Sharp Painting technology, most AAA masterpieces can actually run relatively smoothly. In AMD's official test of Far Cry 6, the R7-6800U frame rate reached 59 frames, a surge of 51%, and the nuclear display performance was estimated to be between 1050ti and 1650.
But the author still says that if you want a better and more stable gaming experience, you still need to buy a game book or desktop with a discrete graphics card.
In terms of interfaces, the Ryzen 6000 series is also more perfect than the previous generation, supporting external expansion interfaces such as USB4 and PCIe 4.0, and also fully supporting new technologies such as DDR5 memory and Wi-Fi 6E.
It should be noted that the Ryzen 6000 series mobile processor is also divided into three series, and the low-voltage series with the model suffix of the letter U is the low-voltage series; Suffix H and HS are the standard pressure series; Suffix HX is TDP's super flagship series of more than 45W.
This year's AMD low-voltage U series products can be roughly divided into two versions, in addition to the 6800U and 6600U, the other three new U series products are Zen 3 CPU architecture, not Zen 3+ CPU architecture. In fact, it is also very good to distinguish from the model, and the "thick" AMD still classifies these three U series products as the Ryzen 5000 series.
The other two U series products with Zen 3+ CPU architecture are also very interesting, the frequency is beyond imagination, the single-core frequency of R7 6800U even exceeds the previous generation R9 5900HX, R5 also exceeds the previous generation R7H, which may be the improvement brought by TSMC's 6nm process, and the actual performance release is very worth looking forward to.
The standard voltage model of the Ryzeng 6000 series mobile processor is still divided into H and HS two series, but in fact, the difference between the two series is not obvious, the frequency, cache, core scale are basically the same, all of which use TSMC 6nm process.
As for the HX series, its only significance is AMD's first Ryzen processor to be upgraded to 5.0GHz, and from the perspective of the average consumer, the productivity advantages of this platform are very limited.
All in all, the paper performance of the Ryzen 6000 series mobile processor is still very powerful, and the CPU performance is up to 1.3 times higher than that of the previous generation 5000 series, and the GPU performance is up to 2.1 times.
If you want to buy a notebook for the Ryzen platform this year, then look for Ryzen 7 6800H or Ryzen 7 6800U will not be wrong, because these two GPU cores are larger, both have 12 RDNA 2 "cores", the core display performance is stronger, and then consider the market positioning of these two processors, the cost performance will be very good.
