AMD Ryzen 5 6600U APU Matches Intel’s Core i7-1260P in PassMark Performance Test

Finally joining other Zen 3+ Rembrandt processors on PassMark is the Ryzen 5 6600U APU. The mobile processor got a single-thread score of 3,201 while clocking in at a CPU Mark score of 17,257. It will be used in thin and light laptops and handheld gaming consoles. These performance let the AMD Ryzen 5 6600U stay up with Intel Alder Lake rivals such the Core i5-1240P and Core i7-1260P in addition to delivering somewhat better than anticipated gains over the Ryzen 5 5600U.

The Zen 3+ mobile APUs could easily be overlooked as the world waits impatiently for the release of Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 “Raphael” components (and Intel’s rival Raptor Lake series). This is especially true given that it seems to have taken forever for them to go from the announcement date to their actual appearances in devices. However, synthetic benchmark results have been excellent, and Rembrandt components can now proudly claim to have iGPUs based on RDNA2, with the Ryzen 5 6600U paired with the base Radeon 660M, which still manages to deliver an acceptable degree of graphics performance.

The single AMD Ryzen 5 6600U sample used in this study, which has a large margin of error, outperforms its Ryzen 5 5600U predecessor by +9.59% (single) and +11.73% (multi), which represents significant improvements in just one year (Zen 3: January 2021; Zen 3+: January 2022).

The AMD Ryzen 6600U may thank its TDP and clock-rate enthusiasts for the advancements, as the processor’s 15-28 W TDP (often 25 W) and 2.9-4.5 GHz clock rates show considerable increases over the Ryzen 5 5600U’s 10-25 W TDP (typically 15 W) and 2.3-4.2 GHz.

In comparison to the Intel Core i5-1240P and Intel Core i7-1260P, which are respectable processors in and of themselves but somewhat power-hungry, the effective Ryzen 5 6600U performs admirably. The Team Blue chips have a larger power consumption range of 28 W (PL1) to 64 W and a core count advantage of 12 (4P + 8E) vs. 6 cores (PL2).

The AMD Ryzen 5 6600U really stands out in this particular synthetic benchmark when it is discovered that the Intel Core i5-1240P is only +3.37 percent (single) and +3.11 percent (multi) ahead of the Zen 3+ part, while the Intel Core i7-1260P, despite having more cores and consuming more power, is only +2.16 percent (single) ahead and actually -0.27 percent (multi) down.
