However, these chips may not come straight to laptops, so it seems there is no reason why more manufacturers wouldn’t want to give the customers access to the (still competitive) Zen 3 refresh. Intel will be releasing Raptor Lake processors this year, and AMD is also slated to launch Zen 4 in the third or fourth quarter of 2022. We are still in the midst of a chip shortage, and as AMD relies entirely on TSMC to create these chips, problems with the supply chain could force laptop manufacturers to turn to other options for the time being.Īnother possible reason could be that manufacturers are already gearing up for next-gen chips instead.
#Amd zen 3 refresh series
Strangely enough, not a single manufacturer has picked up the power-efficient AMD 6000U series just yet.ĪMD itself hasn’t commented on why exactly its new Zen 3+ mobile CPUs are so difficult to come by. Asus has been the number one manufacturer to adopt Zen 3+ processors into its laptops, with eight new systems, while Lenovo, Razer, and Alienware only have one each. Four months after the launch, that’s less than we’d expect. However, for some reason, the adoption of Zen 3+ technology in laptops has been really slow so far.ĬomputerBase reported that only 11 notebooks currently utilize the new AMD mobile offerings. While it doesn’t bring us into the next generation of chips just yet, the new AMD tech sounds pretty impressive.
Compared to the Alienware x14 and the Gigabyte Aorus 17 (both with Intel Core i7-12700H), the battery gains were tremendous - Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 managed to last over 10 hours on one charge, while the Intel counterparts maxed out at around five hours. The processor, housed inside the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, stood its ground in terms of performance while delivering a huge increase in battery life. Tom’s Hardware compared the performance of the AMD Ryzen 6900HS to the Intel Core i9-12700H, and the results were favorable for AMD. Perhaps more importantly, it purportedly delivers a huge 2.62x increase in performance-per-watt over Alder Lake CPUs. The Rembrandt microarchitecture was said to deliver an up to 1.3X increase in performance over the previous Ryzen 5000 lineup. In theory, there should be plenty of options to choose from, and these CPUs should be able to find a home in some of the best gaming laptops, as well as slim notebooks made for working on the go.Īlthough benchmarks are still pretty scarce, AMD made some promises as to the performance of these chips upon announcing them. The lineup covers more entry-level models such as the Ryzen 5 6600HS, all the way up to the high-end Ryzen 9 6980HX that brings the clock speeds to up to 5.0GHz.
