AMD releases Ryzen 5 2600H and Ryzen 7 2800H specifications – APUs for gaming notebooks

AMD is the only company that currently offers high-end CPUs and graphics cards, placing the company in a unique position to develop single-chip solutions for the notebook market, products that would be ideal for gamers on a budget and professional users whose workflow would benefit from GPU acceleration.

So far, AMD’s Ryzen Mobile APU offerings have been limited to low-TDP silicon, with their Ryzen U-series offering configurable TDPs of 12-25W. While these products are ideal for some users, others would prefer to access higher performance levels, something that is only possible with higher-TDP offerings. This is where AMD’s new Ryzen H-series comes in.     

AMD has officially revealed their Ryzen H-series of high-end notebook processors, offering higher clock speeds than their U-series counterparts and significantly higher base clock speeds, promising increased performance levels for both gamers and professional users alike. 

Specifications for both AMD’s Ryzen 5 2600H and Ryzen 7 2800H have been released on AMD’s website, promising TDPs of between 35W and 54W and clock speeds that start from 3.2GHz and 3.3GHz respectively. Both of these APUs also offer support for 3200MHz memory out of the box, an important factor to consider if gamers want to get the most out of AMD’s iGPU.
