It brings its new Zen 3+ core architecture together with its new AMD RDNA 2 architecture-based, on-chip graphics. The new AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors are built using TSMC’s 6nm process technology and deliver improved levels of integrated graphics performance, promising 1080p AAA gaming, along with cutting-edge features and superb battery life. AMD also announced the new Ryzen 7 5800X3D desktop processor with AMD 3D V-Cache technology for ‘elite-level’ gaming performance and previewed the new Ryzen 7000 Series CPU powered by Zen 4 architecture which uses the new AMD Socket AM5.

Saeid Moshkelani, senior vice president and general manager, Client business unit at AMD said “The new AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors bring remarkable efficiency for impressive battery life, unbeatable built-in graphics and optimized performance to deliver the best AMD has to offer to every type of notebook user.”

AMD Ryzen 6000 Series Processors

AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors are built on the updated AMD Zen 3+ core, optimized to deliver improved performance-per-watt. These are the fastest AMD Ryzen processors yet, with up-to 5 GHz clock speeds, up to 1.3 times faster processing speeds and up to 2.1 times faster graphics then the 5000 Series.

The Zen 3+ core, “delivers power and efficiency, through new adaptive power management features that adjust speed quickly and new deep sleep states that help save on power.” Compared to last-generation AMD Ryzen processors, the AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors can, “Use up to 30% less power for video conferencing… and up to 24hours of movie playback on a single charge, all in a cool, quiet laptop.”

Featuring up to eight, high-performance cores (each one, “Capable of handling multiple tasks at the same time”) to deliver 16 threads of processing power, AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors, “Bring ultimate performance to ultrathin laptop PCs, with up to 11% more single-threaded performance and up to 28% faster multithreaded performance over the previous generation.”

AMD RDNA 2 Architecture-Based Graphics

AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors are also the first mobile processors to feature RDNA 2 architecture-based, integrated graphics: “With a graphics performance up to twice as fast as the last gen, it’s the world’s first on-chip graphics that can smoothly play the vast majority of PC games in full HD.” Ryzen 6000 Series processors have an all-new integrated display engine, allowing for, “Ultra-high resolutions and refresh rates.” AMD Ryzen 6000 Series, “Enables up to 70% faster AAA gaming compared to the competition.” Dynamic HDR displays are supported and AMD FreeSync technology helps to keeps things smooth.

New Platform, New Features

To complement the power, efficiency and graphics, the AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors are built on a new platform and offer innovative features:

• Advanced DDR5 memory for faster mobile computing.
• Upgraded peripherals support with PCIe 4.0 and USB 4.
• AI noise cancellation to filter background noise.
• Wi-Fi 6E solutions from relationships with Qualcomm and MediaTek.

AMD says the Ryzen 6000 Series processors are the first x86 processors to fully support advanced Windows 11 security features with the integrated Microsoft Pluton security processor, “Offering a secure system, enabling true chip-to-cloud security.”

Product Specification: AMD Ryzen Mobile Processors 2022 Consumer Lineup

At the top of the product stack, the AMD Ryzen HX-Series processors provide optimal performance in a thin and lightweight form factor with significant graphics power. For mainstream consumers, “Looking for performance on-the-go,” the AMD Ryzen 6000 U-Series processors offer a blend of performance and efficiency. 

A reinvigorated line-up of AMD Ryzen 5000 Mobile Series processors, improving performance with the incorporation of “Zen 3” processor technology, is also available for 2022.

The first laptops powered by AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors are expected to be available at the beginning of February. Throughout the year, AMD expects there to be broad availability of more than 200 consumer and commercial notebooks based on the 2022 Ryzen portfolio.

AMD Ryzen PRO 6000 Series Processors

Also coming early in 2022 are AMD Ryzen 6000 PRO Series processors. Built on the AMD Zen 3+ architecture and 6nm process, AMD Ryzen processors with PRO technologies will offer a suite of security features, manageability tools and the enterprise-grade stability and reliability that businesses and IT decision makers demand.

Together with AMD, Lenovo will introduce the new ThinkPad Z, an ultra-premium business notebook, featuring AMD Ryzen PRO 6000 Series processors, to customers this spring. Lenovo and AMD have collaborated to. “Deliver cutting edge platform design, seamless audio and video performance, maximum responsiveness, enhanced security features from the Microsoft Pluton security processor and Lenovo ThinkShield.”

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Desktop Processor with AMD 3D V-Cache Technology

AMD also announced an upgrade to the award-winning AMD Ryzen 5000 Series desktop processors, delivering the first AMD Ryzen processors with AMD 3D V-Cache technology to power enhanced gaming experiences. Powered by the Zen 3 core architecture, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D desktop processor is reckoned to be, “The world’s fastest gaming processer: delivering an average of 5% faster 1080p gaming across select titles than the competition.”

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D will be available for Socket AM4 later in Spring 2022.

Zen 4 Core and Socket AM5

AMD previewed its Ryzen 7000 Series processors, which will be based on the 5nm Zen 4 architecture and made available in the second half of 2022. To complement Ryzen Zen 4 architecture CPUs, AMD will also introduce the new AMD Socket AM5 to market.
