Extended Battery Life Up to 29 Hours

Consumers increasingly want more power in their laptops — especially those who create media content or game on their PC. Yet that has often meant trading high performance for lower battery life in a heavy, hot, and loud laptop. Now, AMD Ryzen™  6000 Series processors are enabling consumers to get the best of all worlds: high performance in a thin, light, cool and quiet laptop — with battery life for video playback up to a full 29 hours.1

AMD had two musts when designing the AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors. The first was to support users who need the highest level of performance on a mobile platform. The second was to build on AMD’s significant architectural and process technology advantages to extend battery life more than the company has ever done before— in even the thinnest and lightest form factors.

By delivering on both, the AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors have created powerful real-life performance that makes creating videos fast and seamless, while delivering the mobility your customers thrive on — without being tethered by a charger. Imagine the power to do be productive all day long, without plugging in!

A Compelling Equation for Real-life Performance Leadership

Figure 1: The Family of AMD Ryzen 6000 Series mobile processors are designed for optimal performance and efficiency across use cases from thin and light, to thin enthusiast to ultra-enthusiast.
 

The AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors deliver leadership in computing efficiency, combining the updated “Zen 3+” CPU core, AMD RDNA™ 2 architecture for game-ready graphics, 6nm process technology, and cutting-edge memory and connectivity technologies (including low power DDR5 memory, USB4, and WI-FI® 6E).2 Unlike the competitor, AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors maintain up to 8 high performance cores and 16 processing threads that scale from 45 watts to 15 watts, providing incredible battery life and performance leadership that is ideal for content creators and gamers.

Why does this matter? Only 7% of the market buys the larger laptops that require 45 watts of power.3 With the efficiency gains in the new AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors, AMD brings a new level of performance to the thin and light laptop market (15-28W TDP), removing the previous barriers to immersive gaming, high-quality video streaming, and media editing for the average buyer. Now everyday users and enthusiasts can do what they enjoy in a thin and light package. That means parents shopping for their kids can get a laptop light enough to carry with video quality and gaming that has never been possible before.

In-Depth Power Optimization for Battery Life up to 29 Hours1

Starting with a new 6nm manufacturing process and enhanced microarchitecture (“Zen 3+” core) the entire AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processor lineup is designed to enable the best battery life for x86 Windows 11 notebooks without the typical application performance trade-offs.

With over 50 new and enhanced features to optimize efficiency, “Zen 3+” has even deeper control over every processing thread’s power level and clock speed.

These significant design optimizations and enhancements in the AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors deliver incredible performance-per-watt, to enable up to 29 hours of video playback on a single battery charge.1 It is also the first x86 processor to fully support new Windows 11 security features.5

Unmatched Performance for Content Creators —Even On-the-Go

AMD Ryzen processors offer the ideal mix of high performance and long battery life that creators want. Competing processors use more power than AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors — and that can mean a hot, loud system with short battery life.

This increased level of efficiency makes AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors ideal for fast rendering, smooth video streaming, and editing - even in thin and light laptops. An AMD Ryzen 7 6800U processor (28W) provides a leap ahead from the prior generation AMD Ryzen 7 5800U (15W) without sacrificing efficiency — with on average a 1.3x uplift across CPU compute benchmarks and average 2x uplift across graphics performance,7 letting digital nomads do it all without being weighed down.

The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U processor also delivers dominant performance against the competition’s latest processors, letting creators finish their work faster whether editing photos, exporting a large video file, or building a 3D render.

Dominating Gaming Performance

On average 2x faster integrated graphics performance across select titles than the competition’s discrete graphics performance with AMD Ryzen™ 7 6800U processor12

Now, everyday gamers can play virtually any PC game smoothly at 1080p on integrated graphics, thanks to new built-in AMD Radeon™ 600M graphics.13 Customers can enjoy everything from a fully immersive online gaming platform experience to the ability to play AAA titles on an ultrathin laptop. Gamers get great performance from integrated graphics with AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution (FSR) or AMD Radeon™ Super Resolution (RSR) enabled, which use cutting-edge upscaling technologies to help boost frame rates on compatible titles.14, 15 The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U with Radeon™ 680M graphics (28W TDP) performs at up to double the frame rate that our competitor can claim — in games like World of Warcraft™.16
