The HX series was introduced in the past as a premium series of unlocked processors for high-end gaming rigs, which was meant to rival Intel’s i9 processors with the same finish. The battle rages after Intel launched Alder Lake-H Series P on the market, the answer is about to arrive and these are the first results.
Ryzen 6000 series, a boost for laptops
With a multitude of headlines in the press covering weeks ago information relevant to the Ryzen 7000 that are yet to come Zen 4, We begin to see news closer to or from a more near and plausible future for hardware lovers. With the Zen 3+ range that AMD is preparing for the arrival of the Ryzen 6000 series processors, these will provide better performance to deal with the Alder Lake-P in the entire range for high and medium performance laptops.
The processor sighted, the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, It is not exactly the flagship of the AMD HX range of CPUs, since it has the Ryzen 6980HX immediately above it with just 100 MHz more, but it consists of the same 8 cores and 16 threads with a base frequency of 3.3GHz with a Boost up to 4,900 MHz, in addition to bringing with it the new integrated graphics RDNA 2 with 12 Compute Units.
As seen in the tests that have been released through the official portal of the Geekbench equipment testing software, one of the data that unfortunately is not collected by the software used is the data itself. TDP, a very revealing fact especially if we think that these processors are designed for laptops. However, we can see its results, as well as its technical specifications, which we have already mentioned.
Ryzen 9 6900HX vs Ryzen 9 5900HX
On his performance, Ryzen 9 6900HX not being the most powerful in its range, it would offer a 33% more performance than the Zen 3-based Ryzen 9 5900HX, offering a CPU score of 1,593 points in single core and 10,151 in Multi-core. Comparing it to the aforementioned Ryzen 5000, we would obtain +12% in Single-Core and +33% for Multi-Core.
Carrying out the comparison in the same way, with a processor of the same class in Intel, the Core i9-12900H, which is based on Alder Lake-P and it consists of 14 cores, where the new Ryzen 6900HX would not do well in terms of performance if we base ourselves on the data taken from the well-known benchmark. The Intel CPU would have between 7% to 21% better performance for Single-Thread and between 37% to 42% for multi thread, a more than remarkable superiority if we assume the differences between both CPUs and their frequencies (+2% for Intel and 4 more threads, although it has E-Cores)
AMD Ryzen architecture laptop processors Zen 3+ from the new series Ryzen 6000 they are expected to arrive in the first weeks of next February and with them on the market more complete results will begin to be seen, as well as all the details of their iGPU, a point to keep in mind for processors of this family.
