A week ago, AMD has revealed the Ryzen 6000 series mobile processors for mass consumers and to follow that up, the PRO variant of those chips is coming to the laptop scene as well.
Thanks to the extremely efficient Zen 3+ core, the performance-per-watt figure is through the roof due to the new adaptive power management feature that adjusts the core frequency and power consumption while the deep sleep states can reduce idle voltage to a new low. As a result, these new chips use up to 30% less power for video conferencing, 24 hours of movie playback, and more yet more computing juices can be found which is up to 11% for single-threaded and 28% for multi-threaded compared to previous offerings.
The Zen 3+ cores ain’t the only thing that is new to the Ryzen 6000 Series processors because the GPU department is being handled by the RDNA 2 architecture that is twice as fast as the last-gen that can easily tackle the vast majority of PC games in FHD resolution. With build-in Dynamic HDR and AMD FreeSync baked natively into the chip, one can easily play their favorite titles with nice brightness and slick frame rates.
A total of 13 SKUs will be in the first round of launch with a combination of high-powered H series and low-powered U series catering to different users.
