The New Ryzen 6600U Will Blow You Away, A Fast RDNA2 iGPU! Hands on First Look

@@thesuperzfamilyvlog6607 Hah! I have a story similar to that. I was still using Windows 3.11 on a machine I had and I had a PC Gamer demo disc with a Diablo 1 demo. We played it at the local computer lab area when we could and when I tried to install it on my computer, it said I needed a certain .dll file. Of course, being about 12-13 years old, I didn't know that Windows 3.11 and Windows 95 were too different, and I didn't understand what dynamic link library files were and it was a windows 95 thing. So I had my friend take a floppy disk to find and copy a DLL file. Then I needed another, and another. A few weeks and a dozen files later, I realized Diablo needed Windows 95 to play and those DLL files were part of Windows 95! Hah!

You could build a great solar powered gaming rig that is more practical than having to shell out a lot in a solar setup. A simple setup could do 40 to 50 watts fully loaded and another 20 watts for a good gaming monitor using 12v input. You can just put a regulator on there or spend the extra on a filtered regulator to power the setup.

AMD is killing it with 6000 series mobile CPUs because they are putting the focus on the right places (GPU and power efficiency). Intel's 12th gen CPUs have better single core CPU, but who cares if I get terrible battery life and a fan running like a jet engine. AMD 6600U seems more than fast enough for my needs. And by the way ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 itself looks great as well. I am also eyeing ThinkBook 13S Gen 4 with AMD.

It would be awesome to see this chip or the 6800u in a 16" laptop. More room for cooling should mean it could easily sustain it at 45+W. Something like the new Yoga 7i 16" would be perfect, but sadly they're not making non-Intel variants for it.

@@t.terone522 I have a 110W GPU in mine and yeah, it's fine. But it sounds like a jet engine when gaming. A larger laptop would allow for a proper, silent cooling solution for an APU

[@t.terone522]

@@filipjovanovic8138 I think the reason for it sounding like a jet engine is more negligence and indifference by the manufacturer. Like "I dont care its good enough" I usually HATE HP because their products are crap. They are one of those disgusting "milk consumers by selling them 2 cent INK for their printers at a 30 dollar price". And their things had absolutely crap quality at least 15 years ago. Like my old laptops GPU was not even physically connected to the FAN. The metal never touched the gpu and so it constantly went 100°C and turned itself off that also killed my battery in the process. But I got a gaming laptop from HP by coincidence which is 100% silent when idle and barely audible when playing games. Which suprised me alot because of HPs usual quality... At the same time I have a lenovo with integrated graphics (radeon vega 3) which is 10x as loud. Both are 15". And another gaming laptop from Dell G15 5510 is also at least 3x as loud as the HP. My mother has a Medion 17" Laptop which constantly ramps up the fan it goes up and down and up and down. And is really annoying she has some intel iGPU from the 8000 generation. I wanted to return it the moment I turned it on but she didnt care and went "whatever" so she kept it. I think the best way to solve this problem is to absolutely avoid manufacturers who make loud laptops so they will finally CARE. You know they wont probably care about the user but they will care about their empty wallets and the result is the same in the end. Better tech. People also need to stop busying laptops with only 1 ram slot. Stupid single channel also has to die :)

[@XiaOmegaX]

Hard to avoid the solder, sadly. To eek the performance out of the CPU they had to use ultra-fast LPDDR5 at 6400mhz. Slotted ram doesn't do that. Plus at least the rest of it is user-replaceable. they don't even glue the battery in like most manufacturers.

That means 4 rdna Cus running at 20 watts will peform the same as 4 rdna3 CUs running at 15 watts. If the chips are indeed power hungry then most laptops and handhelds will still use the 6000series.

The same actually holds true for the 5800u VS the 5700G, which are the same chip, one at 15w, the other at 65w, those two can be pushed to 80-90w for the best performance, with high speed DDR4 4933CL17, but the performance difference between 15w, and even 65w to 80w is just not worth it when you're on battery surprised Edit, dont right click on a word that has been hilighted and correct it, apparently the whole paragraph gets hilighted red, and if you submit the comment its all deleted everything but the corrected word, so you're missing 1/2 my response, which i'll add later

I made a mistake and jumped on buying a laptop a couple of months ago and chose the HP envy with the R7 in it. It only had vega graphics but it wasn't bad. The screen was just gorgeous HD but the screen started going blank on me and I can hear the dunk sound of a device being disconnected randomly and had to shut down the unit and power it back on to get it to come back. At first I thought it was a glitch or an update but it kept doing it worse and worse until the next morning it wouldn't boot with a display. You could still hear the sounds but no screen. Same when I plugged a monitor in also. I seen other people with the same experiences and had a tech talk about the APU having graphic output issues and to stay clear of these. Especially those ones sold at walmart with the WM in the model or serial number. When I mean the screen was gorgeous. Side by side with my buddies retina macbook, the HP was miles ahead on color, saturation, clarity, brightness, and way smoother response.

One minor suggestion, if you're doing laptop GPU benchmarks, you can sometimes mention in the final conclusion part which desktop GPU/laptop GPU equivalent this certain GPU performs, since you already have the benchmark scores for a lot of them. I know its a little bit more effort, but sometimes knowing which desktop GPU its performing on the level of makes choosing which laptop to buy and setting expectations much more easier.

It could be ideal work laptop but they've decided against changeable battery on ThinkPads which is such a fucking shame... I really miss old T450s and T460s with dual battery system, one being internal, another one being hot swappable.

power bank.

[@Micromation]

@@eidrag another dangling object attached via cable to your machine. It's a bandaid solution to the problem that doesn't have to exist.

Would love to see a matchup against the steam deck. I'm super curious to know which "level" of iGPU AMD gave Valve.

[@kucingganteng3148]

5500u i guess

[@fukov3400]

Ouch - those poor poor VRMs. Damn impressive performance for such a small form factor even without the add-on laptop cooler

[@spicyF1]

Cant wait for AMD Phoenix Range APUs in thin and light laptops

[@Deinorius]

Why no comparison? I never see any comparison, when you show any results. It's frustrating. It would be really interesting to see a detailed comparison with the Steam Deck and any 6800U! The 6600U does have less CUs but higher clock and more bandwidth in this laptop.

[@ilikereason]

iGpus have come a long way.

[@stevenhoule1866]

Not sure why you didn’t test at 15w. I think most will be playing at that TDP for a balance of battery life and power. Not only that but then you would have a better comparison to the SteamDeck.

[@shineymcshine]

ETA, you really need to test God of War and Cyberpunk at a rez someone would actually consider playing - see if we can at least hit a steady 30 fps. No one will be staring at the god awful rendering of 720p + FSR performance, that's like PS2 era resolution being grossly upscaled.

[@Testimony201]

Nice laptop with fantastic specs🔥💯😌

[@alexispariona7436]

10:00 What tunning tool did u use to boost up the TDP? Could you make a tutorial?

[@mcslender2965]

Looking forward to seeing these 6000 series chips in handheld consoles running SteamOS

[@shlokshah5379]

Steam os is kinda wonkey out of the deck. You get no tdp control. Most handheld manufacturers will have something like that in windows so using big picture mode or steam pal mode (which is replacing big picture) will give you a similar experience. You will also get 110% game compablity as games from the other stores would run better on windows.

[@C0SSTY]

I wouldn't put benchmarks with FSR 1 lower than quality. It's so blurry it's unplayable. Especially with 720p resolution.

[@damian-duffy]

Steam OS install and test on this would be great 👍 ... Does the 6650 cause any issues for Linux install vs 6600?

[@digigamer7]

Would love to see this CPU with an eGPU

[@DarkGT]

Does it support undervolting like some intel mobile cpu's? Will be nice to reduce a Watt or so.

[@ksr2070]

Nice bro ✌️ Please keep GTA V until 6 released
