About the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U CPU
The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U is a 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2022. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 7 lineup, which is based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. The PRO 6850U is compatible with AMD Socket FP7 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 6 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon 680M integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U supports DDR5 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U 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 7 PRO 6850U 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 2.7 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.7 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 7 PRO 6850U includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon 680M. 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 7 PRO 6850U has the 152nd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 38.22% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
About the Intel Core i9-8950HK CPU
The Intel Core i9-8950HK is an end-of-life 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2018. It is part of Intel's Core i9 lineup, which is based on the Coffee Lake-H microarchitecture. The i9-8950HK is compatible with Intel BGA 1440 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD 630 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Core i9-8950HK supports DDR4 memory. In terms of cache, the Core i9-8950HK 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 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 12 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Core i9-8950HK 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 4.7 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Core i9-8950HK includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD 630. 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 Core i9-8950HK has the 172nd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 35.45% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
