Dr. Lisa Su reveled 13 new mobile processors during a keynote in day one of CES, being the Ryzen 3 5300U, Ryzen 5 5500U, Ryzen 5 5600U, Ryzen 5 5600HS, Ryzen 5 5600H, Ryzen 7 5700U, Ryzen 7 5800U, Ryzen 7 5800HS, Ryzen 7 5800H, Ryzen 9 5900HS, Ryzen 9 5900HX, Ryzen 9 5980HS, and lastly the flagship Ryzen 9 5980HX.

The range of Cores and threads for these CPUs goes from 4/8 on the 5300U to 6/12 on the Ryzen 5s, and 8/16 on the Ryzen 7s and 9s. The Base clock ranges from 1.8 to 3.3 for this line of CPUs. The only U series CPUs that will be using a Zen 3 architecture are the Ryzen 7 5800U and the Ryzen 5 5600U. All the H, HS, and HX series semiconductors will have Zen 3 which was first revealed by AMD in October 8 of 2020 with the Ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs. This entire lineup is using a 7nm lithography as well.

We already know of a few notebooks will hold these CPUs, six of them being most notably from Asus’ ROG line such as the Zephyrus Duo 15 SE starting at $2,899 USD and the Flow X13 which is a productivity laptop that you can buy with a RTX 3080 eGPU together at $3000. Stay tuned because we may do a future article on those laptops.

We still have to see how these Ryzen CPUs will put up against their Intel 11th-gen Tiger Lake equivalents. However from what we’ve seen from AMD in the recent past it should come to no surprise if they hold up fine.

From what we have seen today from CES 2021, it really does feel like with these new mobile processors, the prime time to purchase a laptop will be coming up very soon. Thank you for reading.
