The performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS for notebooks has been leaked in the Geekbench 5 benchmark tool.
AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS proves to be 30% faster than the 4900HS “Renoir”
AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS is a Cezanne processor (APU) based on the Zen 3 architecture. This shows the significant performance increase that this new family of Ryzen ‘Cezanne’ APUs will offer over the Renoir generation.
The chip was tested in the ASUS ROG Flow X13 notebook, a high-end notebook with Ryzen 9 5980HS, but without a discrete GPU, but with the integrated Vega 8 GPU with 512 stream processors.
The Ryzen 9 5980HS processor has 8 cores and 16 threads and is configured with a base clock of 3.0 GHz and a boost of 4.80 GHz. The CPU has 4 MB of L2 cache and 16 MB of L3 cache. Its default TDP is 35W, which is lower than found in the “HX” models with a TDP of 45W.
Although the processor can reach up to 4.8 GHz, it does not get past 4.41 GHz in the leaked test. This may be due to the limitations imposed by ASUS with its ROG Flow X13 notebook. Manufacturers can deliberately make these adjustments to shape their laptops in terms of power consumption and temperatures.
Along with this processor, the notebook uses LPDDR4-4266 RAM, a much faster memory speed than seen in the previous generation of Ryzen “Renoir” laptops.
Compared to the Ryzen 9 4900HS, the Ryzen 9 5980HS is 41% faster in the single-core tests and 17% faster in the multi-core tests.
What’s interesting about these benchmarks is that each of the high-end “Cezanne” processors is faster than a desktop Intel Core i7-10700K. Proof that AMD currently has the most powerful processors in the notebook segment.
