AMD Ryzen 5 5600Hs Review

Launched in January of 2021 AMD Ryzen 5 5600Hs is a mid-range processor for thin and light gaming laptops based on AMD’s Zen 3 microarchitecture. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600Hs has 6 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 3 GHz and a boost clock of 4.2 GHz. Manufactured on a TSMCs 7nm process the TDP of this Chip is as specified by AMD is 35 Watts. The 6 core APU comes with integrated Vega 6 graphics and supports DDR4-3200 and Low power LPDDR4-4266 RAM.

Performance | How is AMD Ryzen 5 5600Hs (Good or Bad)

AMD’s 5000 series Cezanne chips based on its Zen 3 architecture see an average of over 19 percent IPC gains over its Zen 2 counterparts paired with an increased clock speed of 200 MHz the 5600Hs is significantly faster than the Ryzen 5 4600Hs. The Ryzen 5 5600Hs trades blow with the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10875H and is significantly more powerful than the 11th Gen intel core i5 11400H and 11300H. This goes without saying it can easily handle your day-to-day tasks such as Browsing, Streaming, and using office productivity software. If your day-to-day workflow involves using video editing, photo editing, and CAD applications, the 5600Hs is a great option.

IGPU: AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 (Ryzen 4000/5000)

The performance of the Vega 6 Graphics depends on a number of factors such as Clock Speed, Cooling Solution, and RAM configuration. The integrated GPU greatly benefits from fast dual-channel memory. The Renoir APUs now also support the LPDDR4x memory the giving the Renoir APU some performance. Based on the previous-gen vega architecture the only difference is the 7nm which gives the new vega GPUs a significant power boost. The New AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 (Ryzen 4000/5000 series) graphics are almost 20 percent faster than the last-gen Vega 8 (2000/3000 series). When compared to its Nvidia counterparts the Vega 6 scales above the Mx230 and comes close to Mx150 and Mx330 in terms of performance. However, this doesn’t matter as the 5600Hs will almost most certainly be paired with a dedicated GPU.
