At the pricier end, there are also new 6nm upgrades of current M-series GPUs that AMD says deliver a bump in speed and efficiency. The company has also expanded the 6000M download with less expensive, 35-watt targeted options, the RX 6500M and RX 6300M, to compete with Nvidia's MX chips and RTX 3050 as well as Intel's rumored upcoming Arc discrete laptop graphics. The Alienware m17 R5 Ryzen Edition is one of the first to use AMD's SmartAccess Graphics. Note that AMD considers a "light" design to be under 4.5 pounds (2 kilograms), so pay attention to screen sizes.
AMD 6300M 1080P
The aim is to bring an AMD option to thin-and-lightish gaming systems for high-quality 1080p play starting at around 80 frames per second (or midquality 1440p). I doubt many systems will actually ship with DDR5, since it's still in short supply and expensive.Īlong with CPUs, AMD has introduced a new set of mobile graphics processors, including a new line of lower-power S series versions starting with the RX 6800S, 6700S and 6600S.
AMD 6300M UPDATE
It's also DisplayPort 2-ready, which probably means it'll need a firmware update when displays with DisplayPort 2 ship.
AMD 6300M BLUETOOTH
Other features that come with the new platform include support for DDR5 and LPDDR5 memory, USB 4, PCIe 4, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, FreeSync support via the integrated graphics and HDMI 2.1. That's new for laptops but I doubt it will make that much of a difference based on the desktop cards the faster clock speeds and larger memory cache are far more important. Integrated RDNA 2-generation graphics also mean hardware ray-tracing acceleration.
AMD 6300M PLUS
The Zen 3 Plus update and 6nm process bring a host of power management upgrades that give rise to AMD's claim of up to 24 hours of battery life, though that's something companies have frequently promised over the years and rarely achieved. Notably, AMD's Ryzen 9 6980HX and 6980HS are both capable of hitting 5GHz boost frequency, a first for the company on any consumer platform. The company's new Ryzen 6000 CPUs come in the usual flavors, with a couple of U-series options for general thin-and-light systems (15 to 28 watts), a few HS-series CPUs for thin gaming systems (35 watts), a couple of H CPUs for mainstream gaming laptops (45 watts) and two HX versions for high-end gaming laptops (45 watts and up). Its secret is the 3D-stacked chip architecture AMD announced in May last year. The company expressed no plans to move to a hybrid architecture combining performance and efficiency cores (a la Apple's M1 or Intel's 12th-gen Alder Lake) in the near future, saying it's happy with the performance and efficiency it's seen from Zen 4 thus far.Īnd by June we'll most likely get the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, an eight-core gaming CPU for 105-watt power-targeted systems (mainstream gaming) which it claims outperforms both the Ryzen 9 5900X and more or less ties with the Intel Core i9-12900K for 1080p. Those hints include a new AM5 socket (so you'll need new motherboards instead of upgrading your current one), plus chipset support for PCIe 5 and DDR5 RAM. People, please replace your GTX 1060 already, so we can finally stop hearing about why everyone should from Intel, AMD and Nvidia.ĪMD dropped a couple of hints about its next generation of Ryzen CPU architecture, the 5nm Zen 4, which will likely launch in the second half of this year.

($199 is roughly £150 or AU$280, but converted prices won't necessarily reflect international pricing.) There's a model specific to prebuilt systems as well, the RX 6400. I'll bang my head against that wall when I come to it. The base price is theoretically $199, but who knows. 19 with 16GB GDDR6 memory and 16 compute units - that's half the processors of the RX 6600 XT. The entry-level Radeon RX 6500 XT desktop graphics card, for 1080p-class gaming, ships on Jan. And AMD showed off a low-end desktop graphics card, the Radeon RX 6500 XT, aimed at what used to be the sub-$200 price class (but who knows these days).
AMD 6300M PRO
There are also the Ryzen 6000 and Ryzen 6000 Pro mobile CPUs, based on an updated 6nm Zen 3 Plus architecture and with newer RDNA 2-based integrated GPUs.
