Pro processors, which have an important place in AMD's product portfolio, are expanding with new members this week. Announcing the Ryzen 6000 APU series based on the Zen 3+ architecture at the beginning of the year, the company has now brought its Ryzen Pro 6000 processors to the stage.
The Ryzen Pro 6000 APU family, brought to life by the Zen 3+ architecture developed in the 6nm process, offers up to 30 percent better performance on the processor side and up to twice the previous generation on the graphics side, according to the company's statements. Ryzen Pro 6000 is the first x86 processor to support Windows Pluton technology, which offers level 2 security against cyber attacks, while Windows Autopilot support is also offered to quickly set up Windows 11 computers. There are two categories in the Ryzen Pro 6000 series, H and U. Ryzen 9 Pro 6950H and 6950HS processors are at the top of the series. Processors with the same characteristics differ in terms of TDP value. The same is true for Ryzen 7 Pro and Ryzen 5 Pro processors.
There are two different processors in the Ryzen Pro 6000U series. While the average energy consumption is 28W, there are extreme values of 15W-30W. On the processor side, the Ryzen 6850U chip is 10 percent better at 15W and 30 percent better at 28W. On the graphics side, it can offer 50 percent better performance at 15W and 110 percent better at 28W. Comparing its new processors with Intel Alder Lake P series 28W processors, the company states that in tests such as Cinebench R23 and Passmark 10, it is better as a multi-core but worse as a single-core. Again, while the Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U processor was at 150 nits brightness in MobileMark 2018 tests, it was able to offer up to 26 hours of use with a 76Whr battery.
There are also 3 Ryzen Pro 5000U processors based on Zen 3 in this series. These new members with 4, 6 and 8 cores have an average consumption value of 15W. The new processors will begin to be supplied to the manufacturing partners towards the summer months.
