Overview
SummaryThe AMD Ryzen 5 6600HS is a laptop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Zen 3+ architecture (6 nm process). It launched in Jan 2022. Clocks run from 3.3 GHz base to 4.5 GHz boost. A 16-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.2 MB per core). It supports DDR5, LPDDR5 memory. Rated TDP is 35 W.
Performance
12 metricsThe AMD Ryzen 5 6600HS scores 3,313 in single-core performance and 19,801 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,099 for overall performance, 17,509 for productivity performance, 16,854 for creator performance, 19,677 for engineering performance and 14,889 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,300 per core, 1,650 per thread and 566 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,369. Its performance index is 100, equal to the Intel Core i5-12400. Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.
In the individual workload tests the AMD Ryzen 5 6600HS scores 66,726 in integer math, 37,995 in floating-point math, 242,691 in compression, 15,106 in cryptography, 976 in physics simulation, 16,661 in vector SIMD, 56 in the prime sieve and 25,226 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 13% above in integer math, 17% below in floating-point math, 6% above in compression, 31% above in cryptography, 10% below in physics simulation, 7% above in vector SIMD, 16% below in the prime sieve and 11% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.
