New AMD Ryzen Pro 6000 Series CPUs Bring 'Zen 3+' to Enterprise Laptops
We tested the first Ryzen 6000 series mobile CPUs earlier this year, and today, AMD is bringing the best of Ryzen to the business world with its announcement of the Ryzen Pro 6000 series, a family of enterprise-class processors for laptops. The new CPUs boast the same "Zen 3+" architecture and RDNA 2-based on-chip graphics that make the current Ryzen 6000 consumer CPUs so competitive, and they add security and IT-management support that’s ideal for business use cases.
The eight new Ryzen Pro 6000 "Rembrandt" processors are built on AMD’s most advanced architecture, Zen 3+. AMD's 6-nanometer manufacturing process is further enhanced with a focus on power efficiency, with a new power-management framework, new power planes in the SoC, deep partitioning built in, and component-level optimizations.
The result, according to AMD, is up to 1.3 times faster CPU performance (the claim made versus an equivalent previous-gen Ryzen 5000 mobile chip) and better performance per watt, which, the chip maker claims, translates into longer battery life and cool, quiet performance under load.
The new chips also get RDNA 2, the architectural underpinning for AMD's most powerful integrated graphics solutions to date. In addition to performance optimizations, and other generational improvements, AMD has added HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.0 support, along with multi-display support that can handle up to four individual 4K panels, all while handling the latest codecs for video conferencing and other video applications.
Performance in collaborative tools such as Microsoft Teams is another major focus. AMD claims that the Ryzen Pro 6000 series can deliver 15% faster performance than comparable Intel 12th Generation "Alder Lake" Core i7 CPUs (Core i7
