Ryzen h processors for high-performance laptops revealed

The low-power Ryzen U series has had a major impact on the notebook market. Ryzen processors with integrated Vega graphics are undoubtedly a very attractive alternative to the low-power variants of Intel. Now AMD is ready to go to the next level, with the arrival of Ryzen H processors ; Ryzen 7 2800H and Ryzen 5 2600H for high performance notebooks.

Ryzen 7 2800H and Ryzen 5 2600H have 4 cores and 8 threads

If there was one thing AMD was missing it was high-performance notebook processors, something Intel did with its Intel Core HQ and HK series.

Both Ryzen 7 2800H and Ryzen 5 2600H processors appeared in 3DMark's database and were tested on an HP 84EF device, which could be a prototype laptop or desktop test rig. Technically, it doesn't matter, as AMD itself confirmed that the H-series processors are high-performance notebook processors.

AMD Ryzen U - Ryzen H 2000
Model	Cores / Threads	Clock Base	Clock Turbo	TDP	GPU
Ryzen 7 2800H	4C / 8T	3.4 GHz	?	TBC	RX Vega 10?
Ryzen 5 2600H	4C / 8T	3.3 GHz	?	TBC	RX Vega 8
Ryzen 7 2700U	4C / 8T	2.2 GHz	3.8 GHz	15W	RX Vega 10
Ryzen 5 2500U	4C / 8T	2.0 GHz	3.6 GHz	15W	RX Vega 8
Ryzen 3 2300U	4C / 4T	2.0 GHz	3.4 GHz	15W	RX Vega 6
Ryzen 3 2200U	4C / 4T	2.5 GHz	3.4 GHz	15W	RX Vega 3

The two Ryzen 7 2800H and Ryzen 5 2600H processors have 4 cores and 8 threads. So far there are no signs that there is a Ryzen H processor with more cores.

Interestingly, the Ryzen 5 2600H appears to be 30% faster than the Ryzen 7 2800H in physics tests, which resulted in 5% higher overall score, surely this is because the 2800H was operating at a lower clock speed. 3DMark is usually not too precise in determining frequencies. Both platforms used the same Radeon RX 550 (RX 540X) graphics card.
