AMD's Ryzen 6000 Mobile CPUs Leak Hours Before Announcement

[TheLostSwede]

In a few hours, AMD is about to hold its CES press conference, but details of its Ryzen 6000 series Mobile CPUs have made their way online and it looks like anyone considering a new laptop this year, should be in for quite a treat. AMD's CEO, Lisa Su already teased the company's new CPU on social media yesterday, but obviously provided no further details, but courtesy of a leak from VideoCardz, we now have what looks like the full specs.

AMD is apparently planning no less than eight H-series consumer SKUs, plus another two U-series consumer SKUs at launch, plus the rumoured 5x25U Zen 3 based additions, which adds a further three SKUs. The new H-series processors will range from Ryzen 5 to 9 and will have max boost speeds ranging from 4.5 to 5 GHz, which confirms earlier rumours about these chips supporting very high clock speeds. All of the new CPU SKUs will feature 19 or 20 MB of L2 plus L3 cache and with the exception of the three Zen 3 based chips, all of the new processors will be manufactured at 6 nm.




The Ryzen 7 and 9 parts will all have 12 GPU cores, clocked at between 2.2 and 2.4 GHz, with the Ryzen 5 parts only getting six GPU cores clocked at 1.9 GHz. The leak didn't include any real details about the new GPU cores, but support for the AV1 media codec is included, as well as HDMI 2.1 and DP 2.0 support. This makes these new chips from AMD the first products with official DisplayPort 2.0 support that we're aware of. Other platform features include support for USB4 40 Gbps, PCIe 4.0, LPDDR5 up to 6400 MT/s (most like the U-series only) and DDR5 up to 4800 MT/s. We'll have to wait for AMD's official reveal for the rest of the details.

meh, this is boring. all gamers want are improved gpu's, in-stock gpu's, whether mobile or non-mobile. improved cooling for mobile. any news outside of that is really 2/10. i mean these cpu's over the the 5800h mobile for example is prob what 2% difference in fps in most games? pointless. better to use that fab time for gpu's. meh.

 

[Crackong]

Can't wait to see RDNA2 vs Vega iGPU

 

[Lionheart]

Yes, how dare AMD improve their mobile lineup, it's so boring & meh, how dare they. "rollseyes"

If the integrated gpus need a DDR5 to perform , you might as well get a DDR4 laptop with a discrete GPU. It will probably be both a lot faster and a lot cheaper. DDR5 memory is a worthless albatross to any platform at the moment (as new memory standards always are, at introduction). It will be viable, eventually, but right now I'd rather have a DDR4 machine.

And AMD has not introduced a worthwhile midrange-budget desktop CPU since the 3600/3600x, and that was what, 2,5 years ago? No wonder people are starting to get annoyed with them. Intel has become a better value at the low-midrange.

Zen3+ Can't wait for the +++++++++++ version

Nice CPU's for Laptops though

In recent news it have been reported that ddr5 chip are not in shortage but the electrical part was, laptop may be the easiest way to use ddr5 for a while since the electronic part on laptop are soldered. They don’t need as many and not with as high current as desktop counterpart

I take it you smacked this comment into your keyboard before reading the post. These APUs have RDNA2 IGPs; the first significant step up in integrated graphics in nearly four years. Literally giving you exactly what you're complaining about.

no its not what I want at all, APU's can't game at all lol at least not the type of gaming I want - high refresh min fps of 110+ 1080p maxed out or at least high to very high settings in most games.

i prefer no igpu at all.

i'd rather see AMD do 5600m cpu no igpu across the board, and then focus their limited fab time on say a new 6800m 6nm, and with increased volume the 6800nm 6nm would be able to priced at $1299 with a 5600m laptop, undercutting the entire gaming laptop market and smashing a home run in high fps gaming.

problem with current 6800m laptop is the cpu hits 93 celsius in most games - with a 5600m you really won't lose any fps, and temps will be much much better since its a solid unit in laptop gaming. plus cost savings on the cpu and no ipgu = can lower price and undercut the entire laptop market. it would be a slam dunk imo

Oh my bad, I didn't realize you had insider information on the performance of these unreleased parts.

I'm not going to get into speculation with you. By the time I finish my rebuttal you'll have changed your mind and your signature will be all caps "REMBRANDT IS GOD" or something.

no igpu will ever give me 120+ fps in witcher 3 maxed out settings at 1080p. maybe in ten years. it doesn't take much logic to understand this...

What insider information? RDNA2 is a known quantity already.

The CPUs are nice, but I'd rather have more U and fewer H options. At 35-45W, the H chips won't give you much battery life. They're useful for mobile (sort of) workstations, but that's not what the public buys the most.

The specific performance of these parts is not, however. You won't know how capable these are until they are tested. You can extrapolate the FP numbers and guess, but that's all you'll be doing. Guessing.

Yu have the core count and the frequencies. You can't tell the exact fps for a given game, but you can definitely tell it won't push 120fps in Witcher3 at the highest settings, for example.

even if you didn't have that info though, you can extrapolate that a rx 6700 gpu which can do this - would not fit that much horsepower in such a quick generation leap to fit on a tiny single die as she is holding.

 

[Fouquin]

I suppose when you can decide to make the goalpost so far away, you can't help but be disappointed by everything.

There's a very real, very large, market for these improved chips beyond your niche. Decrying any forward advancement because it doesn't perfectly solve your desires is certainly a way to go through life, albeit a tough one.

Wow max 35 W desktop CPU with 8 core / 16 HT, so good achievement.

 

[trsttte]

Yes they can game and you're not most people. Most people buy low/middle end gpus and game at 60fps only. Pursuing very high settings is also the best way to loose performance for little to no visual gain

I'd love one if they didn't always bundle them with a dgpu. With current amd solutions the H chips aren't that bad on battery if it weren't for the dedicated graphics (which I don't need because my work doesn't depend on gpu acelaration at all)

Wow max 35 W desktop CPU with 8 core / 16 HT, so good achievement.

No, there's no desktop parts announced/leaked so far. When there is they will likely be based on the 6900HX and have 65w tdp just like they did with 5700G

So, they are going back to the stupid product line naming where mobile/APU and desktop CPU are not in sync?
5000-series was almost there with everything on Zen3 (except some mobile SKUs) but 6000-series mobile is Zen3+ and I doubt they will skip a number on desktop.

What? Zen3+ is a different architecture than current 5000 series and thus a new series for it makes sense. 3d cache 5000 series is still just zen3, not zen3+ arch. Zen4 is again different architecture and 7000 series name is warranted.

I think if we had access to how many people enjoy gaming in high refresh these days, the numbers would be in my favor.

If they follow common sense and name Zen4 as 7000 series that's true, unfortunately that is both not confirmed and not usually the case with any company

I think if we had access to how many people enjoy gaming in high refresh these days, the numbers would be in my favor.

We don't have info on specific refresh rates but we do have stats on most common resolution and most used graphics cards in the form of the steam HW survey. 1080p completely dominates and from the top 10 video cards, only 2 are above a 60series (1070 and 2070 super), with none being from current generation so yeah, I don't think so.

Depends on what the next Ryzen Desktop CPUs are. Unless they go directly to Ryzen 7000 for Zen4, there will be Ryzen 6000 with Zen3+ on mobile (and possibly APUs) and Zen4 on desktop. On the other hand, they did skip Ryzen 4000 so maybe

12 GPU cores sounds very nice, a good kick in the pants over the 4800h GPU core. Support for only DDR5 4800 though is a bit of a downer, given that 3200 mhz ddr4 supported by the previous gen will have far lower latencies by comparison. Was hoping we'd see 6400 mhz across the board.

What insider information? RDNA2 is a known quantity already.

The CPUs are nice, but I'd rather have more U and fewer H options. At 35-45W, the H chips won't give you much battery life. They're useful for mobile (sort of) workstations, but that's not what the public buys the most.

This is hilariously incorrect. My mechrevio1 uses a 4800h and when doing regular tasks battery life is comparable to a U series. The only time that TDP is needed is when running a production application that stresses both the CPU and GPU simultaniously: mainly games. Most software that only stresses the CPU or GPU will see maybe 20-22W power draw on a H seris chip. Photoshop scores, mainly running on a single core, are nearly identical between a 4700u and 4800h for this reason. For game sthough, the 4800h gives you a much more capable iGPU while still fitting into smaller machines and providing better battery life then dGPU setups of the same size.

This is not your daddy's 45w core 2 duo mobile chip.

Well, yeah, if you don't push it, it won't each much power. You also don't need it, you could use a U instead. I said I would have liked to see more U CPUs because that's what thin and light use, H are of no use there. Otherwise, yes, I'd kill for an H work laptop. Unfortunately, my employer has me stuck with an Intel H CPU instead. Not bad, but I know an AMD H would shave some time off my compile and run cycles.
