In addition to the eight CPU cores, the APU also integrates a Radeon RX Vega 8 iGPU with 8 CUs at up to 2100 MHz. This is a great CPU in all respects, and most laptop manufacturers as well as many mini-PC manufacturers are taking note. The average 5900HS in our database matches Intel Core i7-12650H, Core i9-11900H and Core i9-11980HK in multi-thread performance while, surprisingly enough, coming unbelievably close to the more power-hungry Ryzen 9 5900HX. For desktop processors AMD claims 19 percent on average and in applications reviews showed around 12% gains at the same clock speed. The new Zen 3 microarchitecture offers a significantly higher IPC (instructions per clock) compared to Zen 2. Compared to the 5900HX (up to 54 W), the 5900HS is configured with a TDP of 35 W. The chip is manufactured on the modern 7 nm TSMC process. They are clocked at 3 GHz (guaranteed base clock) to 4.6 GHz (Turbo) and support SMT / Hyperthreading (16 threads).

The R9 5900HS integrates all eight cores based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS is a processor for big (gaming) laptops based on the Cezanne generation.
