One of AMD's fastest mobile CPUs is now available on one of the smallest gaming laptops money can buy. The 2022 Razer Blade 14 will cost you at least $2000 USD with the AMD Zen 3+ Ryzen 9 6900HX to replace the 2021 model with the older Zen 3 Ryzen 9 5900HX. The gen-to-gen advantages, however, are generally minor.
When compared to the Ryzen 9 5900HX in the Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE GX551QS, the Ryzen 9 6900HX in the Blade 14 is within 5 percentage points in both single-thread and multi-thread workloads.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
