A Geekbench 5 score for another Zen 3 based Ryzen mobile processor has leaked for AMD’s new Ryzen 9 5900HS in Asus’ newly announced ROG Flow X13 gaming laptop. It’s a very thin 2-in-1 gaming device with an external GPU dock that features an RTX 3080.
Ryzen 9 5900HS Geekbench 5 Score:
Single-Threaded Score: 1381
Multi-Threaded Score 5897
Core i7-10875H Geekbench 5 Score:
Single-Threaded Score: 1238
Multi-Threaded Score: 5914
The Ryzen 9 5900HS is one of AMD’s recently announced 35W parts aimed towards more compact gaming notebooks (like the ROG Flow X13). The 5900HS comes with 8 cores and 16 threads, a base frequency of 3 GHz and a boost frequency of 4.6 GHz. The 35W limit will hinder multi-core boost frequencies, but it’s still enough to retain very high single-threaded performance, which is perfect in the gaming, as games are still largely optimized for fewer than 8 cores.
The closest competitor to the ROG Flow X13 — that we can find on Geekbench 5 — is the ROG Zephyrus S17, a 17-inch gaming notebook powered by an Intel Core i7-10875H with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a max boost frequency of 5.1GHz.
In the Geekbench 5 scores, the Ryzen 9 5900HS managed an 11% performance lead over the Core i7-10875H in the single-threaded score, even though the 10875H’s has a 500M MHz higher boost frequency over the 5900HS. But the Intel part made a comeback in the multi-threaded score and won by 0.2%. The percentage win is so small that it is within margin of error, so we can call the multi-threaded comparison a tie.
For the multi-threaded score, the Core i7 had a bigger advantage over the 5900HS due to the notebook chassis the chip resides in. The Zephyrus S17 is much larger than the ROG Flow X13, allowing the S17 to utilize a larger cooling system and probably a higher power limit for the i7 chip. This may be why the i7 was able to catch up to the more power and thermally constrained Ryzen 9 5900HS in the multi-threaded run.
Let’s be honest. This wasn’t the CES anyone wanted. We’ve been covering North America’s largest tech show for years, so we can definitively say that, without in-person booths and demos, it’s just not the same. The most interesting things at any show happen outside of the scripted press conferences where we get to see and touch products in person, talk to product managers off the record or wander the halls, looking for the unexpected.
However, even in a down year, there were some bright spots that give us hope for a tech-filled 2021. From a new generation of powerful AMD laptops to a super-sleek compact chassis and even an RGB mask, these are the hottest new products unveiled this week.
Best CPU: AMD Ryzen 5000 Mobile

AMD’s Ryzen 5000 series granted the company the performance lead over Intel in desktop PCs for the first time in more than a decade, and now AMD has brought that same powerful Zen 3 architecture to laptops — and in record time.
The four-, six- and eight-core ‘Cezanne’ Ryzen 5000 Mobile series should bring the best of Zen 3 to laptops, granting the company the lead in single- and multi-threaded applications over Intel’s Tiger Lake chips that still top out at four cores. These powerful new chips will also find their way into gaming laptops hosting the fastest mobile GPUs, finally giving us high-end options for AMD’s mobile platforms.
The entire Ryzen 5000 Mobile lineup comes with threading enabled, higher clock speeds than their predecessors, and brings AMD’s innovative new boost technology to laptops for the first time, which promises higher performance in lightly-threaded work and longer battery life. AMD even threw in two new overclockable HX-series models that support core, memory, and fabric overclocking, which could be a potent combination with the company’s RDNA2 mobile GPUs that land later this year. — Paul Alcorn

Best GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB
(Image credit: Nvidia)
Nvidia effectively wins this one by default, because nothing else was really announced. Sure, GeForce RTX 30-series GPUs are coming to gaming laptops as well, but those are just power-optimized versions of the Ampere GPUs we already know and love — well, those of us who are lucky enough to have found one in stock, at any rate.
The GeForce RTX 3060 sounds like an amazing value proposition. Performance looks like it should come pretty close to matching the RTX 2070 Super, a card that launched at $500. What’s more, Nvidia has elected to go with a 12GB VRAM configuration, which is more memory than any of the other RTX cards outside of the RTX 3090 and Titan RTX. It’s about time, I say! Plenty of games won’t need 12GB, but there are enough that now creep past 8GB that it’s a welcome change, and 6GB definitely wouldn’t feel right on a $330 mainstream card that’s supposed to last a few years.
The real question: Is there a chance in hell that Nvidia and its partners will have enough RTX 3060 cards available at launch to satisfy the demand? My crystal ball is literally laughing at me for even asking, and suggesting I check back around Computex time to see if things have improved. — Jarred Walton

Best Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga
(Image credit: Lenovo)
In the ultraportable category, CES 2021 was dominated by business laptops to go with the launch of Intel’s 11th Gen vPro mobile processors. Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Titanium impressed with its looks and the thoughtfulness given to its design. The 3:2 aspect ratio on the 13.5-inch, 2K display is great for all types of work, as it provides a taller screen. It also makes for a much better tablet experience than a 16:9 laptop. That display also promises Dolby Vision HDR support, while the audio will come from Dolby Atmos speakers.
At 0.45 inches thick, the Titanium Yoga is the thinnest ThinkPad ever, but still tested to military standards. While we haven’t had hands-on due to the virtual nature of CES this year, it looks like it will be a stunning and lightweight convertible 2-in-1at just 2.54 pounds. — Andrew E. Freedman
Nvidia’s new RTX 30-series mobile GPUs and new processors from both Intel and AMD meant a slew of gaming notebooks at this year’s CES. But the MSI Stealth 15M was one of very few to utilize both a new processor and GPU. This laptop is, at 0.6 inches thick, somewhere in-between full-on gaming and an ultraportable. It’s combining a 35-watt Intel Core i7-11375H CPU with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q GPU, which should be somewhat formidable for most games.
The all-aluminum stylings and black and white color options appear quite slick. Some of MSI’s other ultraportable gaming options, like GF75, will offer a 45W processor and similar GPU, but it’s also a bit bulkier. For those who want it thin, the Stealth is one of a few laptops in an area we’ll keep a close eye on. — Andrew E. Freedman

Best Case: iBuyPower Revolt 3 MK3
(Image credit: iBuyPower)
Taking credit for perhaps the most improved product at this year’s CES, iBuyPower’s Revolt 3 MK3 desktop is a drastic departure from the
Revolt 2
’s RGB and glass-heavy horizontal design. Instead, what we’ve got here is a compact tower with no glass or RGB but plenty of vents on all sides.
Not only does that give it a more understated look that’s easier to fit into your typical office and plenty more space for air to enter and escape the machine, but it’s also more equipped to take advantage of the small form factor footprint that unifies the Revolt line. A handle on the top makes this case easy to pick up for transport, plus it’s got a hook on either side for holding peripherals like headsets.
The side of the case also has a swing-out door for housing a 280mm radiator, plus you can also add on an optional 80mm exhaust fan at the top. The case also comes with a 700 W SFX-L power supply pre-installed alongside pre-routed cables, which makes for one less component you’ll need to buy and should make for less cable clutter.
The key drawback here is the potential for noise. We’ll have to get our hands on it ourselves to say anything definitive, but all those holes do mean you’re probably not going to have much sound dampening.
But that’s an easy tradeoff for such a step forward in usability and looks compared to the oddly-shaped Revolt 2. Plus, you’ll be can get the Revolt 3 MK3 in white too. — Michelle Ehrhardt

Best Motherboard: EVGA Z590 Dark
(Image credit: EVGA)
Intel’s Rocket Lake-S CPUs may not quite be here yet, but motherboard makers rarely let a CES go by without a cadre of new boards to show. And over the last couple of days, we’ve seen details of nearly 50 Z590 motherboards land in our inboxes. While many are intriguing, the EVGA Z590 Dark stands out.
The design of the E-ATX board has an understated aggressiveness, with its large copper heatsinks and black…well, pretty much everything else. The board backs up its aesthetics with a crazy overbuilt 22-phase VRM and a 10-layer PCB. Most of the connectors are angled, to help in hiding cables, which is aided by a cutout in the area of the 24-pin power and USB header connectors.
The board’s primary oddity is a CPU socket that’s rotated 90 degrees. That could complicate some cooler setups, and you only get two RAM slots. But the latter is a nod to memory overclockers, who often get better results on two-slot Mini-ITX boards. No word yet on rated supported RAM speeds, but you can bet they’re going to be among the fastest on the market. And while you lose RAM slots, the board ships with an extra pair of SATA ports (8 total), so you can probably plug in every functional SATA drive you’ve got in a drawer or a box in the back of your closet. For faster storage, the EVGA Z590 Dark has three M.2 slots. And if 11 drives isn’t enough for you, you may want to consider a drive storage rack, or perhaps talking to a professional about your digital hoarding disorder. — Matt Safford

EVGA’s New Z590 Dark Motherboard Offers The Meanest Look
Best Monitor: LG UltraFine 32EP950
(Image credit: LG)
There’s no denying the image quality boost offered by OLED, with its deliciously deep blacks. When it comes to PC monitors though, finding an OLED screen in a size that can comfortably sit atop a desk has been virtually impossible. Enter the LG UltraFine 32EP950, an OLED stunner in an eye-pleasing 31.5-inch form factor.
LG’s 4K OLED monitor targets professionals with a lot of color (a claimed 99% of DCI-P3). But enthusiasts of any kind will appreciate the bevy of ports, which includes DisplayPort, HDMI and even USB-C with 90W charging.
But what really makes this UltraFine ultra fine is that it brings us closer to being able to put the amazing contrast of OLED right in our home office without necessarily breaking the bank — or desk like you would with the more common, larger OLED TV alternatives. — Scharon Harding

Best Concept: Razer Project Hazel
(Image credit: Razer)
CES 2021 was different this year, for all the reasons our lives are different right now. But we certainly didn’t expect to see Razer, a gaming-focused company, make a concept mask that might even make the category kind of cool.
Project Hazel is not for sale — and may never be. But the ideas make sense. It’s clear to allow you to see others’ emotions, as well as for the hard of hearing to be able to read lips. There are voice amplifiers so that you aren’t muffled by the mask. The case is also a charger, and it has UV lights to disinfect the mask. The whole thing would be an N95 respirator, and oh, yeah, there are two Chroma RGB rings.
There are some questions we have, like if the mask’s ability to let in fresh air and expel CO2 would completely protect against an airborne virus like the one that causes COVID-19. But the thoughtful ideas could make for an improved mask in a world where it looks like we’ll be wearing them more often. — Andrew E. Freedman

Best Keyboard: Asus ROG Claymore II
(Image credit: Asus)
Tenkeyless (aka TKL) keyboards are very popular with gamers, because they save space by doing away with the numeric keypad many people only use for work. However, there are times when you really need those extra keys and Asus’ new ROG Claymore II keyboard has the answer: a numpad that slides on and snaps into its right side.
The Claymore II works in both wired and high-speed 2.4 GHz wireless modes. You can also swap out the USB-C cable with one of your own.
This keyboard also uses Asus’s own opto-mechanical keys in either Blue or Red style. This allows for less key wobble than traditional mechanical keys and lets more RGB light through. — Avram Piltch

Best Mouse: Thermaltake Argent M5 RGB Gaming Mouse
(Image credit: Thermaltake)
We didn’t see a lot of mice at this year’s CES, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t still a clear winner. Thermaltake’s peripherals have been less than beautiful in the past, but this year’s CES saw a change in direction for the company with its new Argent line. Meaning “silver,” the idea behind Argent is to pair Thermaltake’s impressive technical features with premium build quality and silver finishes.
Take the Argent M5 RGB Gaming Mouse, our favorite mouse from this year’s show. While it does separate itself from the rest of the Argent line with a black main body, it’s still got a slick, symmetrical look that’s highlighted by RGB alongside its sides and bottom and a textured metallic silver scroll wheel on top. Achieving that symmetrical look means that the design here is ambidextrous, which can be a mixed bag for right-handed gamers, but lefties will be sure to appreciate the extra usability.
On the inside, the Argent M5 is packing DPI support from 100 to 16,000, plus a polling rate under 1ms and 64Kb of memory. The mouse’s 8 programmable buttons also use Omron switches, and the wired version’s cable is both braided and detachable.
That’s right- the Argent M5 also comes in both wired and wireless options, which gives it plenty of versatility. The wireless version of the mouse does lose RGB along its bottom and sides, likely to save battery life, but in exchange, it can connect over either Bluetooth 5.0 or 2.4GHz using a USB adapter.
All of this leaves us with a powerful, versatile Thermaltake pointer that finally looks the part. — Michelle Ehrhardt

Best Headset: Lenovo Legion H600
(Image credit: Lenovo)
It’s hard for a headset to stand out in an all-virtual CES. After all, we can’t test the audio quality, comfort or even durability. But what makes the Lenovo Legion H600 innovative actually has nothing to do with any of those characteristics. The standout feature is the wireless headset’s ability to charge wirelessly. But unlike other wireless charging gaming headsets we’ve seen, the Legion H600 gets its charge all while hanging attractively in its headset stand.
Sadly, you’ll need a specific headset stand to make this happen. The Legion S600 Gaming Station comes at an additional cost but also brings its own Qi wireless charger, as well as two USB Type-A passthrough ports. We’d rather the cans and headset stand/charger come bundled together. But if you’re willing to make the investment this looks like a clean, clever way to charge and store your cans, as well as other devices. — Scharon Harding

Ryze’s 5000 APUs are largely based on the new Cezanne architecture, but a reheated Renoir known as Lucienne has been chosen for the three models instead. from the last generation.
AMD today released a new generation of Ryzen At Virtual CES 5800 series APUs for laptops. The new APUs were formerly known by the codenames Cezanne and Lucienne.
The new Ryzen 5000 APUs are divided into H and U series and the H series is further divided into H, HS and HX models. The H-series APUs are all based on the Cezanne architecture, while the U-series is a mix of Cezanne and Lucienne circuits.
For some reason, AMD has not mentioned the exact configuration of the graphics graphics driver for the only APU that has just been released. However, both the Cezanne and Lucienne chips have eight Compute Units in the Vega architecture at their best. Both chips support eight PCIe 3.0 bands.
Ryzen 5000 H-Series APUs contain at best eight Zen 3 cores with SMT support, 01 Mt L3 cache. On H models, the TDP of the APU circuit is set to 45 watt and HS in models watt. Savings in TDP have been achieved at a lower base clock frequency. The official TDP for HX models is, like the H models 44 watts, but they are designed to be overclocked and allow the TDP to be exceeded. In terms of performance, AMD says the Ryzen 9 5900 HX model will cover Intel’s Core i9 – 10980 HK’s Cinebench R 18 test with one thread 16. Passmark PT at the processor points Ryzen is as much as above 10 % and 3DMark Fire Strike Physics Test % by
You can find the most important details of the Ryzen 5000 H-Series in the table above.
Ryzen In the U series, two of the five models are based on the Cezanne architecture, like the H series, but the remaining three models are codenamed Lucienne known reheated Renoir APU circuits. Cezanne models are Ryzen 5 U and 7 5800 U when Ryzen 3 5000 U-, 5 5500 U and 7 5700 U are Luciens. According to AMD’s own tests, Ryzen 7 5800 U covers Intel’s Core i7 – 1185 G7 processor PCMark 10 DCC test 18% difference and in the Applications test by 7%, in the Adobe Premiere encoding test 44% difference and in the Blender 3D beam tracking test 39% difference. The processor is praised to reach its best , 5 hours of battery life in general use and video but the slide did not indicate the size of the battery.
You can find the most important details of the Ryzen 5000 U-series in the table above.
In addition to the presentation of the Ryzen Mobile – 5000 – series and a preview of other RNDA-2 GPUs (for desktop and Notebooks), AMD also spoke briefly about the next EPYC generation alias Milan, which is to be finally presented in the current first quarter 2021.
The 3rd generation EPYC processors will use up to 64 Zen 3 cores. In a direct comparison with its competitor Intel, AMD chose a dual socket configuration consisting of two EPYC 7003 Milan with 32 Cores against two Intel Xeon Gold 6258 R with 28 cores each. This is based on the Cascade Lake architecture and represents Intel’s current Xeon generation.
AMD used a Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) as a benchmark, which should be analyzed. The system with the two Milan processors did the job 67% faster than the Intel system. Whether this is only due to the 64 Zen-3 vs. 56 Cascade Lake Nuclei is likely. But the memory interface could also play a role, because AMD supports eight memory channels for DDR4 – 3200 while Intel only has six with DDR4 – 2933 are. Without knowing the exact details of the systems and the software optimizations, such benchmarks should always be used with caution.
AMD wants the EPYC processors based on the Milan design in the first quarter 2021 to introduce. The official starting shot of the 3rd Xeon scaleable generation from Intel, which is currently in mass production as Ice Lake-SP, will be given in the same period.
ASUS has announced a new high-performance gaming laptop, the ROG STRIX SCAR 17, equipped with a powerful processor AMD Ryzen 9 5900 HX with Zen 3 architecture next to 64 GB DDR4 memory – 3080 on Dual Channel and the new graphics NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 based on the Ampere architecture that we could already see in the RTX 30 desktop.
ASUs has decided to do without the Intel processors, such as the Core i9 – 10980 HK used in SCAR 17 last generation, and give the jump to AMD.
This equipment is available with various display configurations, both from at The features: on the one hand we have an option with a FullHD panel that reaches 360 Hz refresh rate along with 3 ms response time. On the other hand, users will be able to choose a model with a panel of 2. 560 x1. 440 p (WQHD) and 165 Hz refresh rate.
This panel supports the DCI-P3 color gamut, although the company has not disclosed in what%. Both screens have Adaptive Sync technology, so they will be able to synchronize their Hz rate with the FPS of the integrated graphics (freesync) and they should have no problem doing it with the dedicated one (G -Sync).
They are powered by a battery of 85 Wh which, according to ASUS, offers up to 12 hours of multimedia playback. This battery can be charged via USB-C with chargers of 90 W.
The ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR 30 integrates a mechanical-optical keyboard with 1.9mm of key travel
Another striking feature is its keyboard with 1 keys, 9 mm of travel and mechanical-optical switches. In addition, your touchpad increases its size by 85% compared to the last generation.
It does not lack RGB lighting on the front edge, under the screen and an aesthetic system with three covers in the hinge area, all three interchangeable.
The cooling system it is quieter, with a 3 dB reduction from the last generation, and liquid metal thermal paste is included to cool the Ryzen 9 5900 HX, the most powerful AMD portable processor ever created.
At the moment price and availability are unknown.

Zen 3 for laptops AMD has New laptop processors featuring Zen 3 architecture were unveiled at the CES trade show. In addition to the U models for thin notebooks, the company has also unveiled the new HX SKUs for gaming laptops. The new video cards for both laptops and the desktop were also discussed. In addition, there is a hint to the new generation of Epyc server chips.
De Ryzen 7 5800 U is the top model of the economical U-series. With 8 cores and 16 threads will be the title of the only x 86 – octacore claimed in the ‘ultrathin’ class . According to AMD CEO Lisa Su, the new apu performs 7 to 44% better than Intel Core i7 – 1185 G7, depending on the workload. In addition to better performance, the U-line should also ensure a longer battery life. Up to 21 hours claimed when playing video.
In addition, two HX processors have been unveiled, the Ryzen 9 5900 HX and 5980 HX. They feature 8 cores and 16 threads, and a total of 20 MB of L2 and L3 cache. The difference is in the clock speed. The 5900 HX boost up to 4.6 GHz , the 5980 HX achieves a maximum frequency of 4 , 8 GHz. Both SKUs have a tdp of ’45 W + ‘, as it is possible to overclock them.
During the presentation the 5900 HX is compared to the Core i9 – 10980 HK, the best Intel has to offer in the field of mobile gaming processors. The Ryzen chip performs better in all areas. This is how he scores 15% higher in Cinebench R’s single-threaded test 20, the 5900 HX performs 19% better than its Intel counterpart in 3DMark Fire Strike Physics.
The first laptops with Ryzen 5000 – CPUs must already will be available from February. AMD expects such a 250 different models are coming. At the 4000- and 3000 – series was this respectively 150 and 70.
After the end of the presentation, AMD will full lineup of laptop processors posted on its website. It can again be deduced that the 5000 – series consists of both Zen 2 and Zen 3 chips, confirming previous rumors.

After AMD launched its first Zen 3 processors in the desktop in September, the move into the notebook follows today. As expected, AMD launched its mobile Ryzen processors from the 4000 generation announced. Many details about the individual models were not revealed, however, they were optimistic about the future of the notebook market.
Thanks to the Zen-3 Architecture, which we already presented in detail in October, and the advanced 7 nm production are among the fastest and most efficient notebook processors. If you take a look at Intel, which started yesterday with Tiger-Lake-H in the 35 – W-Class were started, one should especially with the Multicore performance scores, because the new Ryzen CPUs add eight cores to the scales even in the ultrabook version. No wonder that the benchmarks that AMD presented on the online stage in the evening are particularly convincing in this discipline.
According to our own benchmarks, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 U compared to an Intel Core i7 – 1185 G7 for video encoding with a performance plus of full 44% can exceed. In normal office applications, however, the difference in our own AMD measurements drops to 7%. Despite the high number of cores and the very hungry 44 + W, AMD speaks of long runtimes and gives about 17, 5 battery life, but without going into detail. The HX models should deliver even more performance, which should not only be among the top models in terms of clock rate, but should also be their own for overcoking fans thanks to the open multiplier.
Many technical key data Unfortunately, AMD did not deliver during the presentation. The AMD Ryzen 9 5980 HX will be the field the mobile Ryzen – 5000 – cite processors first. It offers eight cores and 15 Threads, which should reach up to 4.8 GHz in boost and which on a 20 MB cache memory can be used. The TDP is given with typical 45 + W on. A Vega 8 is also integrated. The Ryzen 9 is positioned below it 5900 HX, which at 200 MHz boosts more slowly, but otherwise has the same key data as the top model. The already mentioned Ryzen 7 5800 U also offers eight cores and 16 threads, but has to be content with a maximum clock of 4.4 GHz. It should become the bread-and-butter model in AMD-based gaming notebooks.
Among them, AMD is a smaller series representative like a Ryzen 5600 U or 5600 H (S) down to Ryzen 3 5300 U who have to make do with six or even four Zen 3 cores and a Vega 3 graphic. We have made a table with the most important key data of the new models for comparison:

AMD presented at CES 2021 the new Ryzen processors 5000 of the U and H series for notebooks of this ‘year. Here it comes 13 new models to meet the different needs of users, from those looking for a gaming notebook to an ultraportable with high autonomy.
by Manolo De Agostini published 12 January 2021 , at 18: 01 in the Processors channel AMD RyZen
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:

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.

Today took place the presentation of the new processors AMD Ryzen 5000 Series for laptops, where we have been able to see high-performance models, such as the Ryzen 9 5980 HX, as well as low-power models such as the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 U , but at the last minute, AMD has decided to leave us with honey on our lips showing what the new generation of AMD Epyc processors will be capable of.
After running a simulation of a climatology research model, we have seen that two AMD Epyc Milan processors of 28 cores achieved a performance of 68% higher than two Intel Xeon Gold processors 6258 R of 12 cores , which we remember, arrive with a maximum turbo frequency of 4GHz, very high for a server processor.
For now we have not been able to see more data about it, but it is expected that the top of the range model will arrive with 64 cores, since no leaks have been seen of any model of 128 cores , and maybe 512 MB of L3 cache if we consider that the new Zen 3 architecture allows doubling the amount of L3 cache available for the processor, although this is not confirmed by AMD.
Be that as it may, they are very interesting processors about which information is expected in the future.

AMD, through its CEO Lisa Su, has just announced at CES 2021 its new line of processors for high-performance laptops and gaming equipment based on the Zen 3 architecture. The new AMD Ryzen 5000 of the H range actually come with three high performance ranges: the HS with TDPS content of 35 W for gaming equipment with thin thicknesses, the H range with processors of 45 W for gaming laptops and the HX range for maximum performance with TDPs that can exceed 37 W and overclocking capabilities.
Manufactured following a 7 nanometer process, these CPUs reach Boost speeds of up to 4, 8 GHz and feature 6 cores for the most modest models and up to 8 cores for most models.
In total we have four models Ryzen 9, with the flagship Ryzen 9 5980 HX, followed by Ryzen 9 5980 HS, Ryzen 9 5900 HX and Ryzen 9 5900 HS.

Two models follow Ryzen 7, Ryzen 7 5800 H and the Ryzen 7 5800 HS. Both these as the Ryzen 9 have 20 MB cache and 8 real cores next to 19 threads. Finally, the Ryzen 5 models are two, the Ryzen 5 5600 H and the Ryzen 5 5600 HS, with 19 MB cache and 6 cores with 12 Threads of execution.
This whole line, now more complete than the six models of the previous generation, it replaces the range with Zen 2 by implementing the Zen 3 architecture with double the L3 cache.
AMD boasts that the Ryzen 5000 “HX” are the world’s best processors for gaming laptops
The HX range arrives with a TDP of more than 45 W configurable by the own manufacturer next to area option Open overtclock on selected laptops.
According to the company, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 HX manages to beat by up to 45% performance to Core i9 – 10980 HK and by a 14% in test of a core to the same model. Not inconsiderable figures, especially if we consider that it is not even the most powerful model from AMD.
The AMD Ryzen 5000 “HS” are the only 8-core processors for ultra-thin gaming
Just yesterday, Intel unveiled its H processors 35 oriented to ultra-thin gaming equipment, CPUs of 11 3rd generation with TDps of 35 W and 4 cores. Now AMD strikes back with the renewal of its HS line, Zen 3 processors with the same 20 W but twice as many cores in several of the most powerful models.
They are aimed at achieving high performance without sacrificing thin and light sizes together with good autonomy. If they maintain the good performance than previous models such as 4900 HS along with Zen 3 IPC enhancements will become a very competitive option.
The most powerful model is the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 HS with 8 cores and 19 threads running at a base speed of 3.0 GHz and a Boost of up to 4.8 GHz, all accompanied by a combined cache of 35 MB and the aforementioned TDP of 35 W, 10 W less than “H” models.
AMD compares it to Intel’s eleventh generation low-power Core i 7 – 1280 G7 and with the Core i9 – 10980 HK, Intel’s most powerful processor so far, according to the company, the 5980 Hs outperforms both processors in both per-core and multicore performance, at least in the Cinebench R test 35.
The arrival of Zen 3 to laptops will do so from the hand of 150 notebook designs, a 50% plus of equipment than those that have been launched with the past generation. Throughout this CES 2021 We will know different models of all the manufacturers that bet on that platform.

AMD today introduced a new batch of processors for high-performance and large-scale laptops, with frequencies up to 4.8GHz, but there is also a real need on the part of users with ultraportable equipment that, although not of a great graphic power that needs the installation of a dedicated GPU, they do need a CPU performance to match.
That is why AMD has also launched processors with up to 8 cores with TDPs of 15 W, based on both architectures Zen 2 as Zen 3, for with performance on the level of what is expected of this series of processors of the company.

As we can also see under these lines, the models with Zen 3 architecture will arrive with double the L3 cache, something that we saw in the architecture presentation, while the Zen 2 models arrive with more modest figures than this memory.
In any case, all models of the new generation of AMD Ryzen U Series processors arrive with a performance increase compared to previous models that reaches a 16% improvement in multithreaded performance at the same number of cores, so, in short, we will find ourselves facing very thin and light equipment at the same time that powerful that can be part of a desktop using high speed connections with an external GPU, for example.
AMD Ryzen 7 5800 U
AMD has shown performance data for the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 U, and as expected with the type of equipment to which this range of low-power processors is aimed, we found a much of it dedicated to productivity software.
While PCMark is a synthetic benchmark, it does a good job of measuring system responsiveness, providing performance up to 23% higher compared to Intel Core i7 – 1165 G7. However, in traditional applications, we find that the results are more similar between models, with a 2% lower performance in Word, a 21% higher in Excel, identical in PowerPoint and 7% higher in Edge.
At the energy level, we find a autonomy of about 17 hours and a half in use general, with an autonomy of up to 21 hours in movies, figures that demonstrate the great efficiency of these processors when they only require sufficient performance to work or enjoy them.

A year ago, at CES 2021, AMD introduced the third generation of APU for laptops. The Renoir family, based on the Zen 2 architecture, was much more efficient than its predecessors. AMD was also the first company to introduce low-voltage processors with 8 cores and support for 16 threads simultaneously. The processors have gained recognition, mainly due to unprecedented energy efficiency, beating competing Intel systems on the head. Manufacturers, however, did not fully believe in these processors, so we did not meet any high-end configuration that would combine AMD Ryzen processors 4000 with NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards 2021 and above. A year has passed, the next edition of CES has started. It is time for the next AMD conference and the presentation of the fourth generation APU. In the case of AMD Cezanne, the situation is different. For the first time in history, the manufacturer enters the top gaming laptops.
AMD at the CES conference 2021, officially unveiled the fourth generation of Cezanne APUs, which will be powered by .in. high-performance gaming laptops with NVIDIA GeForce RTX cards 2100. The new APUs are based on the improved Zen 3 architecture.
AMD has unveiled a total of thirteen new Ryzen processors for laptops, of which 10 uses the new Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne-U and Cezanne-H), while the other three to refresh last year’s models Renoir (Lucienne-U). Among the novelties in architecture it is worth mentioning, among others doubling the amount of L3 cache and reducing delays, which should translate into, among others for higher gaming performance. The new AMD Cezanne-H processors will this year be combined not only with less powerful graphics cards, but also with top NVIDIA GeForce RTX systems 3060, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080. This is a completely new situation, as previously NVIDIA’s flagship notebook cards were only used with Intel. The fact that more and more manufacturers are switching to AMD systems is certainly a blow to Intel. We will see what the situation will look like after the premiere of 8-core Intel Tiger Lake-H processors 45.
For the first time, AMD is introducing a Zen-based APU that will have an unlocked multiplier. I’m talking about AMD Ryzen 9 processors 5900 HX and AMD Ryzen 9 5980 HX. The latter will be exclusive to ASUS, as will the AMD Ryzen 9 5980 HS. Most of the presented processors have 8 cores and 15 threads. The exceptions are AMD Ryzen 5 5600 H and AMD Ryzen 5 5600 HS which have 6 cores and 12 threads – talking about the more efficient Cezanne-H series. For low-voltage processors, we can replace: AMD Ryzen 7 5800 U (8C / 16 T, Zen 3), AMD Ryzen 7 5700 U (8C / 16 T, Zen 2), AMD Ryzen 5 5600 U (6C / T, Zen 3), AMD Ryzen 5 5500 U (6C / 12 T, Zen 2) and AMD Ryzen 5 5300 U (4C / 8T, Zen 2). The TDP on low voltage units is 15 W, while for full voltage Cezanne-H it is 45 In upgradeable to 54 W. For unlocked AMD units Ryzen 9 5900 HX and AMD Ryzen 9 5980 HX, TDP default is 45 In, however, it will be increased after the OC (not specified specific value).

New AMD Ryzen series processors 5000 from the Cezanne family boast twice the amount of L3 cache, up to 16 MB (total 20 MB, including L2 cache). There will also be integrated Radeon Graphics graphics chips that reuse the Vega architecture. However, it will be the last generation of the APU, which will use the already perfected Vega. We will get a maximum of iGPU Vega with 8 Compute Units and clocking 2100 MHz. However, specific details about the graphics chips were not presented at the conference. More APUs will go to iGPU NAVI based on RDNA 2 architecture. In 165 we will receive a total of over 150 notebooks from all leading manufacturers that will use AMD Cezanne processors. A large part of these laptops will be designs using efficient Cezanne-H chips in combination with NVIDIA GeForce RTX cards 3000. The new generation of APU is to bring smooth gameplay in AAA games while maintaining maximum graphics settings in Full HD and 4K resolutions. Most details on the specifications of the individual Ryzen series processors 5000 you will find in the tables above. The first laptops will be available from February.
After plenty of speculation, Lisa Su today officially announced AMD’s Ryzen 5000 mobile processors at CES 2021. These new mobile parts are split between the more performant H-series and the lower-power U-series, scaling up to 8-core/16-thread parts that can push past a 45W TDP.
We’ve been hearing about Ryzen 5000 for mobile since before the Zen 3 architecture debuted last November, but it is now finally here. AMD announced eight H-series parts and five U-series parts, slotting into the familiar Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9 naming conventions. For a very high level overview, all of the H-series parts are either 6C/12T or 8C/16T, with TDPs of at least 35W. The U-series parts range between 4C/8T to 8C/16T, but all are 15W parts.
As a curiosity, not all of the parts shown above are built on the Zen 3 architecture – all except the low-power Ryzen 3 5300U, Ryzen 5 5500U and the Ryzen 7 5700U, which remain on Zen 2. That means of the new U-series chips, only the Ryzen 5 5600U and Ryzen 7 5800U are Zen 3-based. A tell-tale sign for this point is the significantly higher cache capacity enjoyed by the Zen 3 options as compared to the Zen 2 parts.
That oddity seems to affect single-threaded performance most of all, as AMD’s data shows increases of just 2-4% for the 5300U, 5500U and 5700U compared to their predecessors when looking at Cinebench R20. The Zen 3-based 5600U and 5800U, meanwhile, scored 18% and 16% better than their predecessors, respectively.
In terms of multi-core performance, the uplifts are bigger for the 5000 series, largely down to the fact that all five parts support SMT, which wasn’t the case with the 4000 series. The 4C/8T 5300U, for instance, delivers a Cinebench R20 score that is 31% ahead of its 4C/4T predecessor, the 4300U. The 8C/16T 5800U betters the 8C/16T 4800U by a less impressive, but still decent, 14% margin.
For its higher power H-series, AMD has introduced a fair few more parts than was present with the previous generation, and there are new suffixes too, like the HX SKUs. It has the potential to get confusing, but every H-series SKU announced so far is built on the same 7nm process, Zen 3 architecture, and supports SMT. The main differences, aside from some being 6-core and others 8-core, come down to clocks and TDP. Every HS part has a lower TDP of 35W, and accordingly drops rated clock speed by up to 400MHz, though this varies from SKU to SKU.
As for the HX parts, this denotes a part can be overclocked, raising the TDP beyond 45W, depending on the system of course. The real-world difference between the 5900HX and the 5980HX, which are both 8C/16T parts, both overclockable, with the latter enjoying just a 200MHz rated boost clock advantage – remains to be seen.
Regardless, AMD clearly has confidence in its new parts, showing both the 35W Ryzen 9 5980HS and the 45W+ 5900HX out-scoring Intel’s i9-10980HK in a few different workloads. Availability of Ryzen 5000-based mobile machines is slated for February.
Elsewhere, Lisa Su confirmed RDNA 2-based mobile GPUs will be coming 1H 2021.

KitGuru says: Ryzen 5000 for mobile is finally here, and there’s more SKUs than I expected. What do you make of these new parts?
The sparrows were already whistling it from the rooftops, now it’s official: AMD boss Lisa Su has the Ryzen at this year’s CES keynote – 5000 – Processors presented – exactly one year after the start of Ryzen – 4000 – Generation at the CES 2020. Back then, 7 nanometer manufacturing and eight Zen 2 cores gave AMD the lead in notebook processors. With Ryzen 5000 the change to Zen 3 and associated with it significantly increased cache sizes.
This combination has with the already available Ryzen – 5000 – processors for desktop PCs provided a further performance boost. This is also to be expected for notebooks, although independent benchmark results are still pending.
Core mix However, AMD is donating to the CPU portfolio confusion. The Ryzen 5000 U processors for flat notebooks (15-Watt -Class), the Zen 3 architecture (“Cezanne”) is not used in all models, but only in those whose model number has an even number in the second position: The Ryzen 7 5800 U is an eight-core, the Ryzen 5 5600 U a six-core, both with Zen-3 architecture. In the Ryzen 7 5700 U, Ryzen 5 5500 U and Ryzen 3 5300 U, however, have eight, six or four cores of the previous Zen-2 architecture (“Lucienne”).

Flashback: Notebooks with SMT-less Ryzens were anno 2020 available much earlier than those with SMT. This leads to the fear that it will run similar this time and the first Ryzen – 5000 – Notebooks with Zen 2 internals will appear – and the performance will not differ significantly from Ryzen – 4000 – Notebooks will differ. After all: SMT is no longer a differentiating factor and for all 5000 er models are active.
As before, the notebook processors have an integrated graphics unit, but more detailed information is not yet available. According to rumors, apart from clock frequencies, it has little changed compared to Ryzen 4000 (“Renoir”) changed.
Gaming growth In the more powerful Ryzen – 5000 H models (45 – Watt class) there is no difference in the core architecture: Zen 3 is consistently used there (and also SMT). In view of the focus on powerful notebooks, there are no quad cores, but always at least six cores (Ryzen 5).
As usual, AMD is again offering models with the HS derivatives that include 35 Watts TDP specified and for compact 13 – to 15- Zöller are intended. The success of this device class – especially the flagship device Asus RoG Zephyrus G 14 – should therefore be updated. Spicy: Intel also takes Tiger Lake-H 15 offers exactly this concept, but only offers quad cores. AMD, on the other hand, drives up to eight CPU cores across all TDP classes.
With the Ryzen – 5000 – AMD also wants to take the lead in single-threading performance.

With Ryzen 5000 there is also another CPU derivative at the top: The two eight-core Ryzen 9 5900 HX and 5980 HX are the counterparts to Intel’s HK models and, like these, come without a multiplier lock. This allows particularly powerful notebooks with processors that are overclocked at the factory. Compared to the Ryzen 7 5700 H the clock frequencies are also higher.
Gaming breakthrough Generally there are signs of a turnaround in gaming notebooks. Despite the performance of the Ryzen 4000 processors and Intel’s roadmap changes and delays due to the messed up 10 – Nanometer production existed in the past 2020 no high-end gaming notebooks with AMD processors, because notebook development takes a long time.
This year it will look completely different : The notebook manufacturers have switched their development in favor of AMD. AMD gaming notebooks will therefore not only be available with mid-range, but also with high-end GPUs. Nvidia’s launch of the mobile GeForce RTX – 3000 -Graphic chips should even be mostly in Ryzen – 5000 H – Notebooks are made – Intel’s eight-core counterpart Tiger Lake-H 45 will finally be released in spring.
First notebooks with Ryzen 5000 should appear in February according to AMD. The extent to which this works depends, as is now customary, on the further course of the coronavirus pandemic: Production and logistics have been under massive pressure for around a year, which generally leads to poor availability and price increases for notebooks (and many other technology Products).
