The first Ryzen 9 6900HX APU benchmarks from AMD have been leaked recently. According to the results, the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX APU is an improvement over the Ryzen 9 5900HX, but none of them beats the flagship APU of the Intel Alder Lake being the most recommended in laptops
The AMD Ryzen 9 6980HX and Ryzen 9 6900HX APUs are going to be the flagship of AMD's line of Rembrandt-H chips for laptops. The processors will feature the new Zen 3+ cores, which are upgraded versions of those featured in Cezanne's Zen 3 lineup and use the new 6nm architecture to deliver higher clock speeds and faster performance.
The first Zen 3+ APUs debut
El AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX It will offer 8 cores and 16 threads, 16 MB of L3 cache and 4 MB of L2 cache. The base clock of both chips is 3,30 GHz and the boost clocks are 4,90. HX-series processors will have a higher thermal range and TDP higher than 45W.
One of the biggest changes in the range will be the incorporation of the AMD RDNA 2 graphics architecture, with what they will have with the Radeon 680M GPU, with 12 calculation units or 768 cores, which will work at around 2 GHz. Finally, the APUs will feature LPDDR4X and DDR5 options for increased bandwidth.
In the Ryzen 9 6900HX benchmark, using a Lenovo 82RG laptop in the Geekbench 5 database, they used 32 GB of memory, scoring up to 1616 points in single-thread mode and 10151 in multi-thread mode. The previous generation AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX scored an average of 1417 points single-threaded and 7658 multi-threaded, which is a 14% increase in single-core CPU performance and a 33% increase in multi-core CPU performance. Additional performance comes from 6nm optimized node which allows stable running of watches compared to Cezanne.
But compared to Intel's Alder Lake Core i9-12900H benchmark, Intel beats the Ryzen 9 6900HX benchmark by 21% in single-thread performance and 44% in multi-thread performance. But it does so with much higher power consumption, which limits the laptop's mobility, although this matters to those who can't keep the laptop plugged in for very long throughout the day.
