AMD has officially unveiled its new Ryzen 6000 processors. The new H-series processors were first unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022. They feature several improvements over the previous generation processors. The processor is based on the Zen3 + architecture, which claims high performance. It also comes with integrated AMD RDNA 2 graphics.

Several new thin and light laptops are expected to be released later this year, offering powerful and efficient performance. The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is one of the first laptops to feature AMD’s latest mobile processor. Let’s take a look at the AMD Ryzen 6000 H-series processor details announced today.

AMD Ryzen 6000 H-series APU unveiled

AMD has revealed more details about the Ryzen 6000 H-series mobile processor. Several laptops with new AMD Ryzen processors will appear in the coming weeks. As mentioned above, the ROG Zephyrus G14 will be the first laptop to feature the new AMD chip. It will use a Ryzen 9 6900HS paired with Radeon RX 6800S discrete graphics. Other OEMs such as Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft will also launch Ryzen 6000 H-series laptops starting in March 2022.

New AMD processors feature new Zen 3+ cores. AMD claims that the new architecture, based on the 6nm process technology, provides improved efficiency. It has up to 13.1 billion transistors, compared to 10.7 billion in the Ryzen 5000 series. The new smaller size will theoretically result in less leakage, thus allowing the chip to deliver better performance while consuming nearly the same amount of power.

AMD claims the new 6nm 6000 H-series chip offers up to a 30 percent increase in overall speed and performance over last year’s 7nm Ryzen 5000-series. The Ryzen 6000 H-series supports Wi-Fi 6E, USB4, PCIe Gen 4.0, DDR5 memory, HDMI 2.1, etc.

The Ryzen 6000 series chip also comes with integrated AMD RDNA2 graphics. The company claims that the GPU offers a 50 percent larger execution engine that scales up to 12 compute units. Its ALU pipeline is also capable of operating at higher frequencies up to 2.5 GHz.

The company has released several benchmarks that show how the Radeon RX 6800S discrete graphics in the G14 outperform the competition. The top 2022 Zephyrus G14 with 6900HS and Radeon RX 6800S offered better performance on average than the RTX 3080 in games like Far Cry 6, Halo Infinite and Hitman 3.
