CES 2021 is coming along with lot of excitement among fans to witness the next-generation of AMD Ryzen mobile processors. The upcoming Ryzen 5000H series of gaming processors are important significantly because of the fact that they will be based out of AMD’s powerful Zen 3 architecture.
This means you can expect significant improvement in single-core as well as clock speeds. We already have seen a engineering sample of the Ryzen 7 5800H in action and in the Cezanne-H family we have a new flagship processor Ryzen 9 5900HX, spotted by TUM APISAK.
Coming to the specs, the Ryzen 9 5900HX sports 8 cores and 16 threads, where it runs at a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It features 16 MB of L3 cache and 4 MB of L2 cache, which indeed is a major upgrade over Zen 2.
Interestingly, we might have a successor of the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, the processor was spotted on a ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX551QS laptop. Much like the Ryzen 9 4900HS, this APU also comes with 45W design configurable down to 35W. The new rumor about the HX series is that it will allow users to overclock them, which will make this the first of a kind feature on laptops.
The laptop features an insane 48 GB of DDR4 RAM clocked at 3200 MHz and most likely it will come equipped with new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series graphics or even the RDNA 2 based Navi mobile GPUs. The Geekbench scores are also interesting as we see a major improvement in single-core score with 1423 points, however, not much improvement in the multi-core with 6912 points.
There are multiple listings as well as laptops of ASUS ROG Zephyrus laptop with the Ryzen 9 5900HX processor paired with RTX 3080 that has 16GB VRAM along with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD.
Whereas, in other listings we see the ASUS ROG Zephyrus 15.6-inch with Ryzen 9 5900HX processor paired with 8GB RTX 3070 GPU along with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. On ther other hand, we see another listing of ROG Zephyrus 14-inch with Ryzen 9 5900HS processor, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD paired with 6GB RTX 3060 Max-Q graphics.
This proves, not only ASUS, AMD as well will be offering a variety of Ryzen 5000H Cezanne APUs based on Zen 3 architecture. There are multiple RTX 30-series mobile GPUs as well, so if you had been complaining about AMD not given much priority, be happy gamers, because 2021 will be a great year!
