The AMD Ryzen 5 6600H is a processor for big (gaming) laptops based of the Rembrandt generation. The R5 6600H integrates six of the eight cores based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. They are clocked at 3.3 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.5 GHz (Turbo) and support SMT / Hyperthreading (12 threads). The chip is manufactured on the modern 6 nm TSMC process.
The new Zen 3+ is a refresh of the Zen 3 architecture and should not offer a lot of changes. The chip itself however, offers a lot of new features, like support for USB 4 (40 Gbps), PCI-E Gen 4, DDR5-4800MT/s or LPDDR5-6400MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth LE 5.2, DisplayPort 2, and AV1 decode.
In the 6000 series, AMD finally switched to the current RDNA 2 graphics architecture for the iGPU. The 6600H only offers the slower Radeon 660M with 6 of the 12 CUs enabled and 1.9 GHz max. clock speed.
Performance
The average 6600H in our database is in the same league as the R7 5825U, the R7 6800U and also the Core i5-1340P, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned. This is a very decent result, as of late 2022.
Your mileage may vary depending on how high the CPU power limits are, and how competent the cooling solution of your system is.
Power consumption
This Ryzen 5 series APU has a default TDP, also known as the long-term power limit, of 45 W. A high-performance cooling solution is a must for a system built around such a chip.
The R5 6600H is built with TSMC's 6 nm process for great, as of early 2023, energy efficiency.
The Intel Core i5-1350P is a mid-range Raptor Lake-P (Alder Lake-P refresh) family CPU, a 28 W part meant for use in ultra-light, ultra-thin (yet actively cooled) laptops. This CPU was announced in early 2023 and it has 4 of the 6 performance cores (P-cores, Golden Cove architecture) and 8 efficient cores (E-cores, Gracemont architecture). The P-cores are Hyper-Threading-enabled and clock between 1.9 GHz (base) to 4.7 GHz (single core boost) for a total of 16 threads when combined with the E-cores. The E-cores clock from 1.4 to 3.5 GHz and offer a similar performance as the old Skylake cores.
The performance should be similar to the old Core i7-1260P and therefore well suited for even demanding tasks.
The CPU now supports PCIe 4.0 x8 for a GPU and two PCIe 4.0 x4 for SSDs.
The i5-1350P is rated at 28 Watt TDP (PL1, 64 Watt PL2 for short bursts). The CPU is manufactured in the further improved Intel 7 process (10nm SuperFin).
The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H is a processor for big (workstation) laptops based of the Rembrandt generation. The R7 6800H integrates all eight cores based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. They are clocked at 3.2 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.7 GHz (Turbo) and support SMT / Hyperthreading (16 threads). The chip is manufactured on the modern 6 nm TSMC process. This is a professional version of the consumer R7 6800H with additional managment features and the Microsoft Pluton Security processor.
The new Zen 3+ is a refresh of the Zen 3 architecture and should not offer a lot of changes. The chip itself however, offers a lot of new features, like support for USB 4 (40 Gbps), PCI-E Gen 4, DDR5-4800MT/s or LPDDR5-6400MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth LE 5.2, DisplayPort 2, and AV1 decode.
A big novelty is the integrated GPU Radeon 680M, that is now based on the RDNA2 architecture and offers 12 CUs at up to 2.2 GHz. It should be the fastest iGPU of all at the time of announcement.
Performance
The average 6850H in our database matches the Intel Core i7-11800H, AMD Ryzen 7 4800H, AMD Ryzen 9 4900H in multi-thread benchmark scores. Which puts it slightly behind the powerful 12th Gen Alder Lake-H processors; still, this is a more than decent option for your 3D-rendering jobs and gaming on the go as energy efficiency is good here. More on that below.

Power consumption
This Ryzen 7 has a default TDP (also known as the long-term power limit) of 45 W. A high-performance cooling solution is a must for a CPU like this.
