In just two weeks, AMD’s conference will take place, during which Dr. Lisa Su will present the fourth generation of APU for laptops, codenamed Cezanne. We will get new units, both low voltage (Cezanne-U) and full voltage (Cezanne-H). The processors will be characterized by the use of the improved Zen 3 architecture, which in games performs noticeably better compared to Zen 2 (APU Renoir). In recent weeks, we have already written about AMD Ryzen 5 5600 H, Ryzen 7 systems 5800 H, Ryzen 9 5900 HS and Ryzen 9 5900 HX. However, it seems that the manufacturer is working on another processor – Ryzen 9 5900 H. Due to the presence of the flagship Ryzen 9 5900 HX, we thought that the regular Ryzen 9 5900 H will no longer be. According to a new entry from the GeekBench database, the manufacturer is working on the next Cezanne APU.
AMD is working on the Ryzen 9 mobile processor 5900 H. Compared to the flagship Ryzen 9 5900, the HX will differ mainly in the locked multiplier.
The AMD Ryzen 9 APU processor appeared in the base of the popular GeekBench program) ) H. At first glance, it is very similar to the Ryzen 9 5900 HX. It has 8 cores with support for 16 threads simultaneously. The base clock is 3.3 GHz with the possibility of increasing in Turbo mode to a maximum of 4.6 or 4.7 GHz (the GeekBench entry is not clear in this respect). It also has 16 MB L3 cache and a 2-channel DDR4 controller 3200 MHz. However, while Ryzen 9 5900 HX has an unlocked multiplier and the possibility of further OC, Ryzen 9 5900 H will not have this option (similar to Ryzen 9 4900 H).
Based on GeekBench test, AMD Ryzen 9 processor 5900 H fared very well, practically not inferior to the flagship Ryzen 9 5900 HX. The single-thread result is 1520 points and it is a result of 25% better compared to Ryzen 9 4900 H (average 1220 points). In the multi-thread test, the new Cezanne-H APU scores 9325 points – about 11% better result compared to Ryzen 9 4900 H (average 8350 points). AMD Ryzen 9 5900 H, similar to Ryzen 9 5900 HX, falls in the same test also comparable to the desktop Intel Core i7 unit – 10700 K.
Home/Component/CPU/Intel Core i7-11700K beats the Ryzen 9 5950X in single-core score Geekbench test
João Silva 49 mins ago CPU, Featured Tech News
A new entry for an Intel Core i7-11700K has been found in Geekbench 5 database. This time around, we have results for the upcoming processor up against the Ryzen 9 5950X while running at frequencies of up to 5GHz.
The Intel Core i7-11700K is an 8C/16T processor using the 14nm-based Rocket Lake-S architecture with a base clock of 3.6GHz, which boosts up to 5.0GHz. Featuring the Cypress Cove core architecture, the upcoming Intel processors are reportedly coming with a double-digit IPC gain when compared to Comet Lake-S processors.
The Geekbench 5 database entry of the Core i7-11700K shared by @leakbench shows a single-core score of 1807 and a multi-core score of 10673. The system was using a Gigabyte Aorus Z490 Master motherboard, which is expected to support 11th Gen Core processors with a BIOS update.

— Leakbench (@leakbench) December 28, 2020
Comparing these scores with the core i7-10700K, there is a 34% improvement in the single-core score and a 19% improvement in the multi-core score, despite being slightly lower clocked than its predecessor.
One thing to note is the massive improvement in AES-XTS/crypto workloads, which appears to be running 200% faster on the Core i7-11700K (1800 vs 5400). It also has a better single-core overall score than the whole Ryzen 5000 line-up, scoring higher in crypto and integer workloads, but losing in floating-point workloads.
Intel Rocket Lake-S processors and Intel 500-series motherboards are expected to be announced in CES 2021.
KitGuru says: Based on these scores, do you think Intel Rocket Lake-S processors will outperform the Ryzen 5000 series? Are you planning to upgrade your CPU and motherboard in the new year?

Home/Software & Gaming/Console/Sony targets 18m PlayStation 5 sales in 2021 following increased TSMC production
Andrzej 3 hours ago Console, Featured Tech News, Software & Gaming
While sales of Sony’s brand new PS5 console have been hampered by significant chip supply issues, the Japanese giant is looking forward to a much better year in 2021 with PS5 shipments targeting 18 million units. As partners like TSMC make promises to allocate much more 7nm wafer capacity, the Taiwanese processor producer is also expecting improved yields which will help supply. KitGuru looks at the available numbers to estimate when the shortfall is likely to end.
Back in September, there was confusion about just how stable the flow of AMD processors would be for the new PlayStation 5. Just as supply chain experts in the Far East were commenting that there would be few issues with production, Sony announced that it was cutting its sales forecast. Rumours that production was 50% lower than anticipated followed, as did a temporary dip in Share price. One specific constriction centred on Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF) substrates, which are a key component in many of the world’s processors.
Commitments to increased production capacity and an improved process, mean that Sony can push past the 1 million PS5 sales a month mark, and on to a figure closer to 1.5 million.
With launch sales bringing the PS5 on par with the Nintendo Switch (which had topped some sales charts for 24 months in a row) in terms of units – and way ahead in terms of revenues – there’s likely to be a surge in advanced game development.
While the Microsoft Xbox Series X and S models reportedly achieved combined launch sales of around 150,000 units here in the UK, the PlayStation 5 looks to have beaten that figure by close to 100,000 units – coming in close to the quarter of a million mark.
For Sony to really consider the PlayStation a success internally, it will be looking to sell close to 8 million PS5 units before the end of March 2021. At that point, it will have become the company’s most successful console launch so far.
Not only is the commitment to increased PS5 shipments good for Sony shareholders (as the company has reached all-time high share prices), it’s also good for the company’s supply chain with MediaTek (communications processors) and Delta (power supplies) also enjoying record share price levels. Strong sales and investment, means that these companies can increase their R&D budgets – helping to bring better products to market sooner.
KitGuru Says: We can make the argument that a lot of electronic sales in 2020 were driven by a sudden need to spend a lot more time at home – and a massive reduction in spending on travel, eating out and transport. While it’s hard to predict exactly what will happen to the world’s economies overall going forward, continuous innovation in computers, communications and consoles certainly seems to provide some insurance against the most serious consequences.

Intel Core i7-11700K beats the Ryzen 9 5950X in single-core score Geekbench test
A new entry for an Intel Core i7-11700K has been found in Geekbench 5 database. …
As spotted by Leakbench, Intel’s unreleased Core i7-11700K has been ripped through the Geekbench 5 benchmark tool, and the alleged performance gains over last-gen parts are nothing to scoff at.
Single-core, the chip jots down a score of 1807 points, with a crypto score of 5423 points. Multi-core, it notes down 10,673 points. For comparison, currently, in our test suite, the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X tops the Geekbench 5 Single-core charts with a score of 1713 points, making Intel’s Rocket Lake chip about 5.5% faster in single-threaded applications.
But, the catch to note with these scores is that Geekbench 5 uses AVX-512, which makes Intel’s scores slightly inflated as only Rocket Lake supports it. Consequently, just because Intel’s chip performs 5.5% faster in GeekBench 5, that does not mean it will perform faster than AMD’s Zen 3 chips in real-world, single-threaded applications as there are no applications that use this yet — and this is likely to remain so for quite some time to come.
In multithreaded loads, AMD naturally takes a significant lead with our testing noting down a score of 14,471 points for the 16-core 5950X compared to the 10,673 pts in this leaked benchmark for the i7-11700K — but again, the AVX discrepancy means that the real world performance delta between the two will be bigger.
Because of this AVX-512 discrepancy, it also remains to be seen whether Rocket Lake will catch up with AMD’s chips for IPC in real-world use cases.
The Intel Core i7-11700K is expected to feature 8 cores and 16 threads on a base frequency of 3.6 GHz and boosting to 4.8 GHz. But, still being a 14nm CPU, despite the new architecture, power consumption is expected to be up there, with a 125 PL1 profile and 250W PL2 rating.
Official word is that Rocket Lake will come out in Q1 2021, though we don’t yet know exactly when.
Once again, numerous exciting articles went online on Hardwareluxx.de during Christmas week.

CPU-Z screenshots with engineering samples of the Intel Core i9-11900K, i9-11900, and i7-11700 processors have leaked, alongside another screenshot with the results of the alleged Core i7-11700 on Cinebench R20. Additionally, a Core i7-11700KF has appeared on the Ashes of The Singularity database.
Starting with the CPU-Z screenshots shared on Chiphell (via @harukaze5719), the engineering samples seem to be clocked at a lower frequency than the retail units, expected to feature a 3.5GHz base clock, all-core boost of 4.8GHz, and a single-core boost of 5.3GHz. As per the leaker, this engineering sample has 125W TDP and a 3.4GHz base clock, a 4.3GHz all-core boost, and a 4.8GHZ single-core boost.
Both the engineering samples of the Core i7-11700 and i9-11900 have a 65WTDP and a base clock of 1.8GHz, boosting all cores up to 3.9GHz and 4.0GHz, respectively. The single-core boost of both processors also seems to differ, with the i7-11700 boosting up to 4.3GHz and the i9-11900 up to 4.5GHz.

The engineering samples were acquired for 2800 Yuan (£317) for the 11900K, 2300 Yuan (£261 USD) for the 11900, and 1600 Yuan (£181) for the 11700. All samples were tested on an unreleased B560 motherboard.
The same leaker that shared the CPU-Z screenshots also posted another screenshot with a Cinbench R20 result of the Core i7-11700 engineering sample, which scored 529 in the single-core benchmark and 4672 in the multi-core one.
Another interesting leak about the 11th Gen Core line-up has been spotted by Leakbench, who found an entry of a Core i7-11700KF on the Ashes of The Singularity database. Based on the naming scheme of previously released processors, this CPU probably lacks the Xe-LP iGPU of the i7-11700K, but everything else should remain the same. The AoTS entry doesn’t reveal much about the processors, but it seems that it will come with a 3.6GHz base clock, 100MHz more than the rumoured specification of the Core i9-11900K.
Compared to the results of other Intel processors with the same core configuration (8C/16T) from the 9th Gen and 10th Gen Core series, the results are roughly the same and within the margin of error, depending on the entry. This doesn’t mean that there is no improvement over previous generations, but given the IPC gain, we were expecting better performance.
Intel Rocket Lake-S processors are expected to be announced during CES 2021, on January 11-14, 2021, and released during the first quarter of 2021.
KitGuru says: Can Intel 11th Gen Core Rocket Lake-S processors stand toe-to-toe against AMD Ryzen 5000 series? Which would you consider for an upgrade?
A Bilibili user (via harukaze5719) has posted a thread over at the Bilibili forums that expose the purported specifications of three Intel 11th Generation Rocket Lake-S processors. The chips are engineering samples that the user claims to have picked up on the black market, so final specifications will likely differ from those shown.
The first processor corresponds to the Core i9-11900, which comes equipped with an eight-core, 16-thread configuration and a 16MB L3 cache. The base clock is set at 1.8 GHz, while the single boost clock peaks at 4.5 GHz. The all-core boost on the Core i9-11900 appears to top out at 4 GHz. The Core i9-11900 is a 65W processor, but that’s just the PL1 (power level 1) rating. The PL2 value is actually configured to 224W.
Both the Core i7-11700K and Core i7-11700 share the same core specifications as the Core i9-11900. In the case of the Core i7-11700K, the chip reportedly flaunts a 3.4 GHz base clock and a 4.8 GHz single base clock. The all-core boost clock is a bit lower at 4.3 GHz. Coming as no surprise, the Core i7-11700K features a 125W PL1 and a 250W PL2 rating.

Lastly, the Core i7-11700 allegedly checks in with a 1.8 GHz base clock but has a single boost clock that reaches 4.4 GHz. The all-core boost clock, however, is stuck at 3.8 GHz. Like the Core i9-11900, the Core i7-11700 also abides by the 65W PL1 and 224W PL2 restrictions.
According to the Bilibili user, the default XMP frequency for Rocket Lake-S is DDR4-3200. However, it was possible to pair the processors with DDR4-4133 memory on an unspecified B560 motherboard. This is a fascinating discovery as it appears that Intel might have enabled memory overclocking on the B560 chipset. If true, this would be a revolutionary change in the right direction since the chipmaker’s lesser chipsets are historically limited to the officially supported memory frequency for that specific generation of processors. For example, existing B460, H470, and H410 motherboards are limited to DDR4-2933 memory modules, which are the Comet Lake-S processors’ official specifications.
It’s a known fact that Rocket Lake-S will wield Cypress Cove cores, which, according to Intel, will offer double-digit instruction per cycle (IPC) improvements. On the graphics side, a previous leak spoke of four potential setups for the 11th Generation chips. The Rocket Lake-S SKUs will feature Xe graphics with either 32 EUs or 24 EUs, while the Comet Lake-S Refresh models will land with UHD Graphics 630and 610 with 24 EUs and 12 EUs each, respectively.
Intel has established the launch date for Rocket Lake-S in the first quarter of next year. However, rumors claim that we might see an announcement as early as CES 2021.
AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X offers great performance in applications, but the same gaming performance as its less-expensive counterpart, the Ryzen 5 5600X.

AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X slots into AMD’s Zen 3-powered product stack with eight cores and sixteen threads, serving as the mainstream workhorse of the Ryzen 5000 series processors that have taken our list of Best CPUs by storm. Powered by the Zen 3 architecture that delivers a ~19% increase in instruction per cycle (IPC) throughput, the Ryzen 7 5800X delivers the impressive gains over the previous-gen models that we’ve come to expect, resetting our performance expectations for an eight-core processor.
However, balancing a product stack is all about selecting the right price point for any given chip, and the Ryzen 7 5800X’s relatively high price point ($50 more than the previous-gen model) not only puts it into contention with bruising competition from within AMD’s own product stack, it also allows Intel’s $374 Core i7-10700K to slot in as a value alternative.
The $449 Ryzen 7 5800X is the next step up the ladder from the $299 six-core 12-thread Ryzen 5 5600X, the best gaming CPU for the money, but the 5800X provides roughly the same gaming performance for $150 more. AMD also stopped bundling air coolers with its chips with a TDP rating that exceeds 65W, so the 105W Ryzen 7 5800X comes without what used to be one of AMD’s most prized value-adds for the Ryzen 7 series – the Wraith Prism RGB cooler.
AMD’s cooler-less Ryzen 5000 series models require a 280mm AIO cooler (or equivalent air cooler), adding plenty of cost into the equation. That will likely dissuade gaming-focused enthusiasts from dropping the extra cash for the 5800X’s two additional cores that don’t deliver meaningful gaming performance gains over the Ryzen 5 5600X.
Conversely, the $549 Ryzen 9 5900X is an alluring chip for the productivity-minded. The 5900X comes armed with 12 cores and 24 threads for $100 more than the 5800X, and the extra four cores and eight threads equate to ~37% more performance in threaded workloads for 22% more cash. The Ryzen 9 5900X is also the fastest gaming chip in the Zen-3 powered stack, so there aren’t any tradeoffs from moving up to the competitively-priced 12-core model.

Intel’s $440 Core i9-10850K comes into the picture with ten cores and 20 threads. This chip serves as the gaming equivalent to the $490 Core i9-10900K and is $10 cheaper than the Ryzen 7 5800X. The aging Skylake microarchitecture doesn’t have enough gas left in the tank to match the Ryzen 7 5800X’s stellar performance in gaming or lightly-threaded work, but it does offer roughly 3% more performance in threaded performance. Given its other deficiencies, we don’t see Core i9’s extra threaded horsepower wooing away many Ryzen 7 5800X shoppers.
AMD’s Zen 3 suffers from a noticeable gap in its product stack: Based upon product naming alone, it appears there is a missing Ryzen 7 5700X to plug the $150 hole in the stack, but we aren’t sure if AMD will actually bring a 5700X to market. For now, that gap allows the $374 Core i7-10700K to weigh in as a cheaper alternative to the 5800X, but you’ll make plenty of tradeoffs for the lower price point. Given the 10700K’s low price point, it makes a solid value alternative – just be aware that you’ll sacrifice performance.
AMD’s premium could be a disadvantage if Intel becomes more aggressive on pricing, but AMD’s suggested selling prices rarely manifest at retail, and continuing shortages have found Ryzen 5000 chips selling far over recommended pricing. History indicates that, given sufficient supply, AMD’s processors typically retail for far less than the official price points. That makes it hard to predict how pricing will shake out over the next months as supply normalizes.
Meanwhile, Intel’s response won’t come until the first quarter of 2021 when its Rocket Lake chips blast off. These new chips bring a back-ported Cypress Cove architecture that grants a “double-digit” IPC increase paired with Intel’s never-ending line of 14nm chips. Early indicators point to these chips flaunting their own impressive gains in per-core performance.
Intel’s Rocket Lake tops out at eight cores, so while those chips won’t be able to challenge AMD’s core-heavy Ryzen 9 processors, they could be worthy rivals for AMD’s Ryzen 7 and 5 models. For now, Zen 3 has caught Intel flat-footed with its Comet Lake chips, so you should only consider them as alternatives if they’re retailing below the official MSRPs.
Ryzen 7 5800X Specifications and Pricing
The Ryzen 5000 series processors come as four models that span from six cores and twelve threads up to 16 cores and 32 threads. With the exception of the Ryzen 7 5800X, AMD increased its Precision Boost clock rates across the board. However, the Ryzen 7 5800X has the same 4.7 GHz boost clock as its predecessor, the Ryzen 7 3800XT.
As before, AMD only guarantees its boost frequencies on a single core, and all-core boosts will vary based on the cooling solution, power delivery, and motherboard firmware. Given sufficient accommodations, the chips could exceed their specified boost clocks – our Ryzen 7 5800X sample frequently boosted to 4.85 GHz on a single core, which is well above the rated 4.7 GHz boost. It’s clear that AMD has spec’d the Ryzen 5000 processors conservatively.
AMD also reduced Zen 3’s base frequencies compared to the previous-gen processors. For instance, the Ryzen 7 5800X comes with a 3.8 GHz base frequency compared to the previous-gen 3800XT’s 3.9 GHz, but in practice, that isn’t a meaningful distinction. AMD says that if you top the chip with an adequate cooler, it will rarely (if ever) drop to the base frequency. We recorded many cases of a 4.5 GHz all-core boost with the Ryzen 7 5800X, which certainly wasn’t possible with the previous-gen chips. We’ll cover that more in-depth below.

The Ryzen chips continue to expose 20 lanes of PCIe 4.0 to the user and stick with DDR4-3200 memory as the base spec. However, if the silicon lottery shines upon you, we found that the chips offer much better memory overclocking due to improved fabric overclocking capabilities. We achieved DDR4-3800 with a 1:1 memory/fabric clock ratio, which wasn’t possible with the previous-gen Ryzen 7 3800XT, but still short of the DDR4-4000 we achieved with the Ryzen 9 5900X. Overall the 500-series motherboard firmwares are mature, but there is continuing development on the memory and fabric overclocking front. That means we could see further improvements here with newer BIOS updates.
The Ryzen 5000 chips drop into existing AM4 motherboards with 500-series chipsets, like X570, B550, and A520 models. AMD is adding support for 400-series motherboards starting in Q1, 2021, but that comes with a few restrictions. Regardless, some motherboard vendors have jumped ahead and already offer support on 400-series motherboards, so that initiative is well underway. Just remember that you’ll lose support for the PCIe 4.0 interface on those older motherboards.
We’ve covered AMD’s Zen 3 microarchitecture more in-depth in our Ryzen 9 5950X and 5900X review. The highlight reel is that AMD has unified its L3 cache into one 32MB contiguous cluster, which vastly reduces memory latency, thus boosting performance in latency-sensitive workloads, like gaming. AMD also made a number of fine-grained optimizations to the microarchitecture.

AMD leverages its existing Ryzen SoC for the 5000 series chips. Zen 3 uses the same 12nm I/O Die (IOD) paired with either one or two 8-core chiplets (CCD) in an MCM (Multi-Chip Module) configuration. For the Ryzen 7 5800X, the chip comes with one CCD with all eight cores enabled, while CPUs with 12 or 16 cores come with two chiplets.
The IOD still contains the same memory controllers, PCIe, and other interfaces that connect the SoC to the outside world. Just like with the Matisse chips, the IOD measures ~125mm^2 and has 2.09 billion transistors.
The chiplets have been redesigned, however, and now measure ~80.7mm^2 and have 4.15 billion transistors. That’s slightly larger than Zen 2’s CCDs with ~74mm^2 of silicon and 3.9 billion transistors. For more details of the magic behind the 19% increase in IPC, head here.

Intel appears to be testing more and more of its future Rocket Lake processors, as more engineering samples have been spotted by @harukaze5719 on Twitter; including the flagship Core i9-11900K, a higher clocked i9-11900, and a new i7-11700. But perhaps the best news of all is that Intel has seemingly unlocked B560 to allow full overclocking support.
In the past, Intel’s lower-priced B series of motherboard chipsets were always locked to prevent users from overclocking their CPUs and memory. Instead, you had to hike up and grab a more-expensive Z series board to unlock those features. Fortunately, though, this looks to be changing with Rocket Lake and its associated 500 series chipset boards. Harukaze5719 was able to run a 4133MHz XMP profile on a B560 motherboard on a Core i9 11900K and Core i9-11900, both of which are engineering samples.

This is the first time we’ve seen the top-end Core i9-11900K engineering sample in the wild. According to Harukaze579, this chip has a base frequency of 4.3ghz and a turbo clock of 4.8ghz. This is promising because if the core frequencies are this high on an engineering sample, we could be seeing some crazy high turbo clocks on the official SKUs.
There also appears to be a new i9-11900 engineering sample floating around with a much higher frequency than the QVJ1 model we’ve been seeing. This model features a significantly higher base clock of 4 GHz (compared to 1.8Ghz) and a boost frequency of 4.5 GHz (before it was 3.8Ghz).

Harukaze5719 also shared a Cinebench R20 score for another Rocket Lake SKU, the Core i7-11700, which has a 3.8Ghz base clock along with a 4.3Ghz boost. It scored a multi-threaded score of 4672 points and 529 points in the single-threaded benchmark. For comparison, the multi-threaded score managed to just beat the Ryzen 5 5600X barely by a few hundred points. However, the single-core score is much more favorable and the i7-11700 managed to beat Intel’s flagship i9-10900K Comet Lake-S SKU.
Next year will be very interesting for Intel. It looks like AMD’s relentless competition is finally forcing Intel’s hand in allowing its B series boards to overclock, which AMD has done on its B series boards since 1st Gen Ryzen. But, will backporting a new architecture to 14nm really pay off? We’ll have to wait and see.
We already talked to you on some occasion about GPD Win 3, a striking portable console with a PC soul with eleventh generation Intel Core Tiger Lake processors , touch screen, side controls and a slide-out keyboard.
Until now we did not know its price and availability, but the company has already started its launch with a price of 799 Dollars through your financing campaign on Indiegogo.

Intel’s Tiger Lake-H models are quad-core, while AMD’s leaked Cezanne-H models are 6- and 8-core.
Both AMD and Intel are preparing new processors and APUs for high-performance laptops for release next year. In the case of both companies, models for high-performance laptops are identified by the H mark. Intel H-Series TDP values are typically configurable 54 and watt and AMD 35 and 35 watt.
Familiar credit leaker Tum Apisak has unearthed a long slip of results from the Geébench test app’s results database with future H-series from both companies. On behalf of AMD, Ryzen 5 5600 H, 7 7290 is represented by Cezanne architecture. H and 9 5900 HX when results are available from Intel for Core i5 of Tiger Lake architecture – 11300 For H and i7 – 11370 for H.
In Geenekch results, Core i7 – 11370 H holds the top spot, but on all cores AMD’s additional cores get their rights and even the slowest Ryzen 5 8973 H covers i7:
Geekbench 5 database entries of four Ryzen 5000H mobile SKUs and two Intel Tiger Lake-H processors have been spotted. Expected to be announced in CES 2021, both the Ryzen 5000H and Tiger Lake-H series should be paired with the upcoming Nvidia RTX 30 series mobile GPUs, once they have been released.
From the Geekbench 5 database entries shared by @TUM_APISAK, it looks like we’re about to witness a competitive battle between the blue team and the red team in the laptop processor market.
The scores in multi-thread benchmarks of the Ryzen 5000H processors are higher, as expected due to the higher core count. On the other hand, the single-core scores are quite competitive, with the Tiger Lake i7-11370H processor getting slightly ahead of the Ryzen 9 5900HX, while the i5-11300H CPU beats the rival Ryzen 5 5600H by about 5%.
The database entries also list some specifications of the SKUs including base and boost clocks, core and thread count, and L1, L2, and L3 cache. In the following table, there are the specifications taken from the Geekbench 5 database:

Compared to the previous generation, the Ryzen processors have up to 37% higher single-core scores, and up to 18% higher multi-core scores, which were probably achieved due to the higher IPC and clocks of the Ryzen 5000H processors.
Regarding the Tiger Lake-H CPUs, given their core count, this should be the 35W TDP processors coming out before the 45W TDP CPUs, expected to come with up to 8C/16T at a later date. Both Intel processors seem fairly similar, with the only difference being in the clock frequencies.
Both Intel Tiger Lake-H and Ryzen 5000H processors are expected to be announced in CES 2021, scheduled for January 11-14, 2021.
KitGuru says: Are you thinking about buying a new laptop? Will you be waiting for new laptop processors before upgrading?
The unannounced Ryzen 5 5600H mobile processor has appeared in what seems to be a Xiaomi Mi laptop. The multiple Geekbench 5 submissions offer a look into the performance that the hexa-core chip could provide. This information comes via hardware leaker Tum_Apisak, and as always take these scores with a grain of salt.
To get the generalities out of the way, the Ryzen 5 5600H is part of AMD’s next-generation Ryzen 5000 (codename Cezanne) mobile lineup. The new family of APUs is expected to debut with the Zen 3 microarchitecture, while retaining the Vega graphics engine. The core configuration for Ryzen 5000 should be identical to Ryzen 4000 (Renoir), therefore, the performance uplift comes from the usage of Zen 3 cores and the increased L3 cache.
The Ryzen 5 5600H is equipped with six cores, 12 threads and up to 16MB of L3 cache. It’s the same configuration that AMD utilizes with the current Ryzen 5 4600H sans the bigger L3 cache. The Ryzen 5 5600H appears to have 16MB of L3 cache, which is double of what’s found inside the Ryzen 5 4600H.

*Specifications are unconfirmed.
Besides the swap to Zen 3, the Ryzen 5 5600H appears to come with a very substantial uplift in the clock speeds as well. According to the Geekbench 5 submissions, the Ryzen 5 5600H reportedly features a 3.3 GHz base clock and 4.24 GHz boost clock. So that’s a 300 MHz and 240 MHz increase over the Ryzen 5 4600H’s base and boost clock speeds, respectively.
As with any unreleased hardware, we recommend you exercise a bit of caution with the results. It’s unknown if the Ryzen 5 5600H is an engineering sample and whether the laptop’s cooling had any impact on the chip’s performance.
At the time of this article, there were seven Ryzen 5 5600H submissions to Geekbench 5. The highest single-and multi-core scores were 1,379 points and 6,086 points, respectively. Geekbench 5’s database showed the Ryzen 5 4600H with an average single-core score of 996 points and multi-core score of 4,837 points. Therefore, the Ryzen 5 5600H can deliver up to 38.5% faster single-core performance than the Ryzen 5 4600H and 25.8% higher multi-core performance.
If we look over to the Intel’s camp, the Core i7-10750H (codename Comet Lake-H) chip would be the Ryzen 5 5600H’s direct rival. The average scores for the Core i7-10750H are 1,147 points in the single-core tests and 5,530 in multi-core tests. The Ryzen 5 5600H seemingly offers up to 20.2% and 10.1% faster single-and multi-core performance, respectively.
Ryzen 5000 looks to be a force to be reckoned with. This time around, we expect AMD to receive more love from laptop vendors, unlike with Ryzen 4000. For example, Acer and Asus are already pairing their new gaming laptops with AMD’s Zen 3-powered processors and Nvidia’s high-end graphics cards that span up to a GeForce RTX 3080.
Gigabyte offers two of its finest laptops, the Aorus 5 and Aorus 7 with an RTX 10750 and 144 Hz displays by 1000 Flat Euros.
The Gigabyte Aorus notebooks are on sale at PC Components, only for a limited time or while stocks last. Let us remember that these models were already on the market during the summer. The promotion is based on the Christmas period so you better decide as soon as possible if you are thinking of buying a laptop with gaming capacity. Here we have the Gigabyte Aorus gaming laptop 15 , a model that comes with a screen of 12. 6 “, IPS panel of 144 Hz and FHD resolution . The integrated processor is the Intel Core i7 – 10750 H and comes with 16 GB of RAM DDR4 in dual channel. We also have 512 GB of storage in M.2 NVMe format and the graphics part comes with a whole NVIDIA RTX 2060 .
The Gigabyte Aorus 5 and 7 are touching the 1000 Euros and are very good options for the gaming world
On the other hand we have the Gigabyte Aorus 17 , a model exactly the same as the previous one except that it is now 17. 3 “and therefore noticeably larger. The rest of the specifications are identical. It should be noted that neither comes with an operating system , so it will have to be purchased separately. Anyway, the prices are really tentative for laptops of that style, thin and with a careful aesthetic.
We can find the laptops with these discounts in PC Components by:
Gigabyte Aorus 5: 1499 1089 Euros
Gigabyte Aorus 7: 1559 1499 Euros

With 15 years ago I started to overclock my PC to get every extra FPS I could in games and scratch a few milliseconds in SuperPi, while I was posting relentlessly about hardware in the Geeknetic forum as a user and reader. They were probably so fed up with continually reading me on the forum that I became part of the writing team, where I continue to report on the latest in technology. Astrophysics and PC games are the hobbies that, after hardware, cover most of my free time.
It looks like Intel is ready to bring higher watt Tiger Lake SKUs to market next year: Courtesy of @APISAK on Twitter, two new Tiger Lake CPUs were spotted on Geekbench and are known as the Core i7-11370H and Core i5-11300H. Both the Core i5 and Core i7 are quad-core hyperthreaded parts, with screaming fast clock speeds to match. These are unverified Geekbench scores and as such they should be taken with a grain of salt until official is released.
This is the first time we’ll be seeing Intel’s new 10nm SuperFin architecture being used in CPUs geared towards pure performance rather than maximum power efficiency, like in Intel’s current lineup of 15W Tiger Lake parts. Due to both the Core i5 and i7 being ‘H’ SKUs we can expect a 35W TDP if history repeats itself. The 10nm SuperFin architecture can already yield a 20% performance boost to the core architecture, so add in a much higher TDP and we should be seeing some excellent performance results.
Specs-wise, the Core i7-11370H will come with a base frequency of 3.3Ghz, and a boost frequency of 4.8Ghz, while the Core i5-11300H brings those frequencies down by around 300Mhz, with a 3.1Ghz base and 4.4Ghz boost respectively.

In Geekbench 5, the Core i7-11370H scored 1566 points in the single-core test and 5084 points in the multi-core test. The Core i5-11300H scored 1436 single-core and 4912 multi-core.
These scores are vastly superior to Intel’s previous generation parts like the Core i5-10300H, the single-threaded scores alone –for both the i5 and i7, close in around the Ryzen 9 5900HX (AMD’s flagship mobile CPU) and the desktop Ryzen 7 5800X. That is very remarkable coming from a mobile CPU and the high clock speeds should allow excellent gaming performance; on the multi-core side of things, performance is still quite good. Both Tiger Lake chips managed to beat out the Zen 2 based Ryzen 5 4600H with six cores by just 100-200 points. That is quite impressive given the Intel units are working with just four cores.
But that is just AMD’s baseline CPU, once you start looking at the scores for AMD’s next-gen Zen-3 based parts, the Tiger Lake SKUs quickly fall behind in the multi-core scores.
Luckily this is just the beginning, we do expect higher core counts from Intel to be coming soon to counter AMD’s new Zen 3 based parts, so expect really good processors for gaming and content creation to be coming to notebooks next year.
