About the AMD Ryzen 5 6600U CPU
The AMD Ryzen 5 6600U is a 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2022. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 5 lineup, which is based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. The 6600U is compatible with AMD Socket FP7 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 6 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon 660M integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Ryzen 5 6600U supports DDR5 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 6600U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 16 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Ryzen 5 6600U features 6 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.9 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.5 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Ryzen 5 6600U includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon 660M. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.
Benchmark Performance
The Ryzen 5 6600U has the 194th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 32.90% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
About the AMD Ryzen 7 4980U CPU
The AMD Ryzen 7 4980U is a 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The 4980U is compatible with FP6 motherboards and is fabricated on a 7 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 4980U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 512 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 4 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 8 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Ryzen 7 4980U features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2000.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 4400.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.
Integrated Graphics
The Ryzen 7 4980U does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
Benchmark Performance
The Ryzen 7 4980U has the 202nd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 31.79% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
