AMD submitted to CES 2021 the new Ryzen mobile microprocessors 5000 , a full range of chips dedicated to ultra-thin notebooks (U series from 15 W) or to the most powerful notebooks, devoted to gaming or to heavier productivity tasks (H series from 35 is 45 W +). Asus, HP and Lenovo will bring some models to the market as early as the first quarter , starting from February. AMD expects a total of 150 new projects this year , 50 in more than seen with the Ryzen 4000 last year.

The new offering of the company led by Lisa Su consists of eight models of the H series and five solutions of the U series , all made with a 7 nanometers production process. The most powerful model of the H series is the Ryzen 9 5980 HX , a processor with 8 cores and 16 threads operating at 3.3 – 4.8 GHz and 20 Total cache MB (L2 + L3). All H series processors are based on the latest Zen 3 architecture we have already come to like on CPUs Ryzen desktop 5000 released late last year, while not all U series processors are Zen 3, three out of five models are based on Zen 2 cores . In this case the top of the range is the Ryzen 7 5800 U , also equipped with 8 cores and 16 threads running at 1.9 – 4.4 GHz. As for the graphics, all AMD’s new chips integrate a Vega GPU like the series chips 4000 (at the moment we do not have the exact details, but the maximum limit remains 8 Compute Unit). In the following table you will find the overall picture of the specifications and the names of all the models:

Template	Architecture	Core / thread	Freq. Base	Freq. Boost	Cache	TDP
Ryzen 5000 series H
Ryzen 9 5980 HX	Zen 3	8 / 16	3.3 GHz	4.8 GHz	20 MB	45 W +
Ryzen 9 5980 HS	Zen 3	8 / 16	3 GHz	4.8 GHz	20 MB	35 W
Ryzen 9 5900 HX	Zen 3	8 / 16	3.3 GHz	4.6 GHz	20 MB	45 W +
Ryzen 9 5900 HS	Zen 3	8 / 16	3 GHz	4.6 GHz	20 MB	35 W
Ryzen 7 5800 H	Zen 3	8 / 16	3.2 GHz	4.4 GHz	20 MB	45 W
Ry zen 7 5600 HS	Zen 3	8 / 16	2.8 GHz	4.4 GHz	20 MB	35 W
Ryzen 5 5600 H	Zen 3	6 / 12	3.3 G Hz	4.2 GHz	19 MB	45 W
Ryzen 5 5600 HS	Zen 3	6 / 12	3 GHz	4.2 GHz	19 MB	35 W
Ryzen 5000 U series
Ryzen 7 5800 U	Zen 3	8 / 16	1.9 GHz	4.4 GHz	20 MB	15 W
Ryzen 7 5700 U	Zen 2	8 / 16	1 , 8 GHz	4.3 GHz	8MB	15 W
Ryzen 5 5600 U	Zen 3	6 / 12	2.3 GHz	4.2 GHz	17 MB	15 W
Ryzen 5 5500 U	Zen 2	6 / 12	2.1 GHz	4 GHz	8MB	15 W
Ryzen 3 5300 U	Zen 2	4/8	2.6 GHz	3.8 GHz	8MB	15 W

As for the U series processors, AMD places emphasis on all-round performance improvement over the models . The new Zen 3 architecture allows a chip such as the Ryzen 7 5800 U of outperform the competition of Intel (Core i7 – 1165 G7) up to 23% in PCMark 10 and with variable results in other use cases such as Excel (+ 22%). All this ensuring autonomy up to 17, 5 hours in general use or 21 hours of continuous video playback.

Moving on to the H series, AMD seems to want to bet more than in passed on HS models, with TDP of 35 W in order to combine high performance in compact design and with good autonomy. The Ryzen 9 5980 HS offers both single-threaded performance according to AMD which multi-thread superior to any Intel CPU, even the Core i9 – 10980 HK.

The offer HX indicates instead of chips with unlocked multiplier for the OC (but it will be the discretion of the manufacturers to allow it) and a TDP that can go beyond 45 W to offer maximum performance. The Ryzen 9 5900 HX, according to the company, is the ” best processor for gaming notebooks of 2021 “with significantly higher performance than Core i9 – 10980 HK by Intel. However, we remind you that Intel is expected to renew the mobile offer with Tiger Lake H chips in the quarter from 45 W up to 8 cores, after having introduced new solutions with TDP of 35 W and four cores.
