The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H is a processor for big (workstation) laptops based of the Rembrandt generation. The R7 6800H integrates all eight cores based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. They are clocked at 3.2 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.7 GHz (Turbo) and support SMT / Hyperthreading (16 threads). The chip is manufactured on the modern 6 nm TSMC process. This is a professional version of the consumer R7 6800H 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.
A big novelty is the integrated GPU Radeon 680M, that is now based on the RDNA2 architecture and offers 12 CUs at up to 2.2 GHz. It should be the fastest iGPU of all at the time of announcement.
Performance
The average 6850H in our database matches the Intel Core i7-11800H, AMD Ryzen 7 4800H, AMD Ryzen 9 4900H in multi-thread benchmark scores. Which puts it slightly behind the powerful 12th Gen Alder Lake-H processors; still, this is a more than decent option for your 3D-rendering jobs and gaming on the go as energy efficiency is good here. More on that below.
Your mileage may vary depending on how high the CPU power limits are, and how competent the cooling solution of your system is.
Power consumption
This Ryzen 7 has a default TDP (also known as the long-term power limit) of 45 W. A high-performance cooling solution is a must for a CPU like this.
Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H is built with TSMC's 6 nm process for great, as of late 2022, energy efficiency.
The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS is a processor for big (gaming) laptops based of the Rembrandt generation. The R7 6800HS integrates all eight cores based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. They are clocked at 3.2 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.7 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 reduced TDP and therefore a lower sustained performance than the H version.

Performance
The average 6800HS in our database is in the same league as the Ryzen 7 5800H and also the Core i7-11800H, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned.
Your mileage may vary depending on how competent the cooling solution of your laptop is and how high the CPU power limits are.
Power consumption
This Ryzen 7 has a default TDP of 35 W (also known as the long-term power limit). Which is definitely too high to allow for passively cooled designs.
The APU is built with TSMC's 6 nm process making for great, as of early 2023, energy efficiency.
