The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U is a mobile processor with 6 cores, launched in April 2022. It is part of the Ryzen 5 lineup, using the Zen 3+ (Rembrandt) architecture with Socket FP7. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) the core-count is effectively doubled, to 12 threads. Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U has 16 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.9 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4.5 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U on a 6 nm production process, the transistor count is unknown. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of TSMC. The multiplier is locked on Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 15 W, the Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U consumes very little energy. AMD's processor supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 4800 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the machine, Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U uses a PCI-Express Gen 4 connection. This processor features the Radeon 660M integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, AMD is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
