Come on AMD … you don’t want to lose your recently hard earned lead over the past few years to Intel.
Taken from Tomshardware … A new Geekbench 5 benchmark result has appeared featuring AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 9 6900HX mobile flagship. Courtesy of @TUM_APISAK on Twitter, the benchmark scores show competitive results against Intel’s Core i7-12700H. However, AMD’s latest chip pales by comparison to the Core i9-12900H, its intended competition.
The 6900HX will be one of AMD’s new leading flagships in its Ryzen mobile 6000 series lineup. The new chips feature the updated Zen 3+ microarchitecture running on TSMC’s latest 6nm node. Thanks to numerous upgrades in power efficiency on Zen 3+, this will give Ryzen 6000 mobile up to 11% higher single-threaded performance and 28% higher multi-threaded performance than Ryzen 5000 mobile, according to AMD.
When released, the Ryzen 9 6900HX will be one of AMD’s most powerful Ryzen 6000 processors, coming in just underneath the Ryzen 9 6980HX. The 6900HX features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a maximum turbo clock of 4.9GHz with a default TDP targeted at 45W. However, this can be increased by OEMs to an unknown amount. Paired to the Zen 3+ cores is 20MB of L3 cache and an RDNA 2 GPU known as the Radeon 680M with 12 CUs and a 2400MHz boost clock.
