AMD Ryzen 7 6800U
Benchmarks & Specs

The AMD mobile processor AMD Ryzen 7 6800U has 8 equally sized CPU cores and can process 16 threads simultaneously. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U is currently one of the most efficient processors on the market thanks to the Zen 3+ architecture, which has been changed from 7 nm to 6 nm production in this processor.

The TDP of the processor can be between 15 and 28 watts. The processor is also suitable for installation in thin notebooks, but it does a little less than the larger mobile processors, which are allowed to consume more than 45 watts of energy.

The base clock frequency of the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U is 2.7 GHz. The mobile processor can increase its clock frequency to 3.4 GHz (when more than one CPU core is loaded) or up to 4.7 GHz in single-core mode via the turbo mode. The processor cannot be overclocked, but notebook manufacturers can also install faster RAM than AMD actually specifies.

A maximum of 64 GB of DDR5-4800 or LPDDR5-6400 RAM is possible, which can be connected via two RAM channels. For example, an external graphics card with 8 modern PCIe lines can be connected via 12 PCIe 4.0 lines, and another 4 lines are then available for a fast SSD.

With a total of 20 MB cache (Level 2 and Level 3 combined), the processor is roughly on par with Intels current processors.

The new AMD Radeon RX 680M is used as the internal graphics unit, which is based on AMDs current RDNA 2 architecture and is significantly faster than the previous generation. With an FP32 computing power of 3.5 TFLOP/s, the AMD Radeon RX 680M is ahead of the iGPUs of the current Intel Alder Lake architecture, which achieves a maximum of approx. 2.2 TFLOPS. Apples iGPUs alone seem to be playing in a completely different league at the moment. The Apple M1 Ultra with 64 GPU cores achieves a whopping 21.2 TFLOP/s.

• Efficient Zen 3+ architecture (6 nm manufacturing)
• Integrated AMD Radeon 680M graphics
• Solid multi-core performance (Cinebench 2024: 574 points)
• Good balance for productive work
