Since AMD’s introduction of its latest Zen three core for desktop customers, the implementation for notebooks and cell customers has been eagerly awaited. In a single technology, on the identical manufacturing course of, AMD extracted +19% extra efficiency per clock (we verified), so for any system that’s energy restricted, additional efficiency is commonly very effectively acquired. AMD introduced its new Ryzen 5000 Mobile processor household in the beginning of the yr, with processors from 15W to 45W+ within the pipeline, and the primary cell methods coming to market in February. AMD despatched us a peak instance of Ryzen 5000 Mobile for in the present day’s evaluation, the 35W Ryzen 9 5980HS, as contained within the ASUS ROG Flow X13.
Ryzen 5000 Mobile: Eight Zen three cores and Vega 8 Graphics
For those who didn’t catch the unique announcement a few weeks in the past, here’s a recap of the Ryzen 5000 Mobile household in addition to the important thing factors from the announcement.
The Ryzen 5000 Mobile processor collection is an improve over final yr’s Ryzen 4000 Mobile processor collection. AMD co-designed each of those processor households to re-use key elements of the chip design, enabling a quick time-to-market and faster improve cycle for AMD’s pocket book manufacturing companions (OEMs), like Dell, HP, Lenovo, and others. The main distinction between the 2 processors that the majority customers will encounter is that the brand new {hardware} makes use of eight of AMD’s newest Zen three CPU cores, which is an improve over the eight Zen 2 cores from final yr. The spotlight is the +19% uncooked efficiency uplift when evaluating the 2 on the similar frequency.
Under the hood, there are a couple of extra key adjustments that fans shall be interested by. The new 8-core Zen three design shares a mixed 16 MB L3 cache, which allows any of the eight cores to entry the total cache, decreasing latency to major reminiscence (from four MB to 16 MB) in comparison with the earlier design which had two clusters of 4 Zen 2 cores, every with four MB of cache.
The new processor is 180 mm2 in dimension, in comparison with 156 mm2 of final technology, however nonetheless matches into the identical socket. It incorporates 10.7 billion transistors, which is up from 9.Eight billion. This means an efficient lower in transistor density, though we all know that Zen three cores are barely bigger than Zen 2 cores, and a few extra safety measures have been added (extra on this on the subsequent web page).

Users could also be upset that the brand new processor vary solely options Vega Eight graphics, the identical as final yr’s design, nevertheless a part of the silicon re-use is available in right here enabling AMD to come back to market in a well timed method. The Vega Eight design within the earlier technology already had a giant increase in effectivity and frequency, and this time round we get one other +350 MHz on the high-end. Users who need to see RDNA in a cell processor might have to attend longer. AMD’s re-use technique might lend itself to altering CPU one technology, GPU the subsequent – we must wait and see.
There are different SoC adjustments, which we are going to get to later on this evaluation.
The Ryzen 5000 Mobile household is break up into two broad product ranges, however each ranges use the identical underlying silicon. At the highest is the normal 45 W H-series processors, aimed toward productiveness pocket book designs. For this technology, AMD is pairing the normal 45 W elements with a spread of 35 W ‘HS’ fashions, optimized for extra environment friendly designs – this shall be AMD’s second technology of 35 W ‘HS’ class processors. AMD can also be introducing a brand new vary of ‘HX’ processors at 45 W and above which can enable AMD’s companions to co-design high-performance and/or overclockable AMD pocket book options.
