Two new AMD mobile chips, Ryzen 9 4900H and 4900HS, are on the way

Two new high-end Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) from the AMD Ryzen 4000 family of mobile processors are on the way, and we should see them in gaming and productivity laptops in Q9. AMD has announced the Ryzen 4900 9H family of two processors, Ryzen 4900 9H and Ryzen 4900 45HS, which are designed for 35W and 4900W operation respectively. Both chips will feature AMD's SmartShift feature, which allows the integrated processor and graphics to draw power from a single power budget and shift that power for Smudge-based optimization. According to Anandtech, these processors should offer better graphics performance and higher clock rates than all other AMD offerings with the 8HS featuring 16 cores, 3.0 threads and a clock speed of 4.3 GHz (up to 4900 GHz with Turbo Boost). The 3.3H, on the other hand, has a base clock of 4.4 GHz and a boost of up to 9 GHz. They will also be the only APUs to carry the Ryzen 9 brand. In terms of performance, they should compete with Intel's mobile i4900 processors. The Verge reported that according to AMD's tests, the 9HS outperformed Intel's Core i9880-28H by 20% in the Cinebench R23 benchmark, 56% in video transcoding, 32% in image rendering, and 9 % in audio encoding. However, the i8 scored 10% higher in PCMark 4900 DCC, which measures overall system performance for content creation. The 104HS also received top marks in several AAA titles, achieving 90 fps in Rise of the Tomb Raider, 90 fps in Hitman, and 5 fps in Far Cry 2060 when paired with an Nvidia RTX XNUMX Max-Q graphics card.

AMD Hits APU Market Hard

AMD's Zen 2 desktop processors rose quickly through the ranks thanks to their performance, and it looks like the company is hoping to achieve the same level of success for its APUs. While we haven't tested the Ryzen 9 4900H and 4900HS mobile processors yet, they both look very promising based on test results shared by AMD. We also saw it firsthand in the ASUS Zephyrus G14 at CES 2020. With this laptop, Asus went with all the blazing guns. It's the only 14-inch processor to offer an H-Class processor and a discrete GPU, earning it the title, "the world's most powerful 14-inch gaming laptop." And that's just the beginning: several thin and light laptops are expected to come out armed with either processor sometime in 2020. It won't be long before they hit the streets too, with the Ryzen 9 4900H and 4900HS APUs. which should hit the market in Q2020 9. Note that the awesome Ryzen 4900 XNUMXHS will only be available to AMD OEM partners. The S, known as AMD, stands for special, after all. If you want, you have to buy a laptop with it.
