AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950HS

AMD R9 PRO 6950HS

The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950HS is a processor for big (workstation) laptops based on the Rembrandt generation. The R9 6950HS integrates all eight cores based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. They are clocked at 3.3 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.9 GHz (Turbo) and support SMT / Hyperthreading (16 threads). The chip is manufactured on the modern 6 nm TSMC process. The HS variant offers a 10 W lower TDP and therefore a lower sustained performance than the HX version. Professional version of the consumer R7 6800HS with additional managment features and the Microsoft Pluton Security processor.

The new Zen 3+ is a refresh of the Zen 3 architecture and should not offer a lot of changes. The chip itself however, offers a lot of new features, like support for USB 4 (40 Gbps), PCI-E Gen 4, DDR5-4800MT/s or LPDDR5-6400MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth LE 5.2, DisplayPort 2, and AV1 decode.

Performance

The average 6950HS in our database is in the same league where Intel Core i7-1280P, AMD Ryzen 9 4900H, Intel Core i7-11800H reside, as far as multi-thread loads are concerned. Which puts it noticeably behind the mighty 12th Gen Alder Lake H processors. This Ryzen is still more than good for gaming as well as content creation, however, energy efficiency is in priority here, not getting every bit of performance out of the chip.

A big novelty is the integrated GPU Radeon 680M, that is now based on the RDNA2 architecture and offers 12 CUs at up to 2.4 GHz. It should be the fastest iGPU of all at the time of announcement.

Power consumption

The Ryzen has a default TDP of 35 W (also known as PL1). That's too high to allow for a passively cooled design.

The APU is built with TSMC's 6 nm process for great, as of late 2022, energy efficiency.
