AMD® Ryzen™ 5 6600U

The AMD Ryzen 5 6600U 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 2.9 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. The chip drops into the FP7 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 25 W.

The AMD Ryzen 5 6600U scores 3,087 in single-core performance and 16,898 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,222 for overall performance, 15,306 for productivity performance, 14,851 for creator performance, 16,792 for engineering performance and 13,486 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,816 per core, 1,408 per thread and 676 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,445. Its performance index is 90, so its overall performance is 10% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). 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.

Scores 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 6600U scores 60,514 in integer math, 33,590 in floating-point math, 200,482 in compression, 12,679 in cryptography, 821 in physics simulation, 13,365 in vector SIMD, 51 in the prime sieve and 21,202 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 3% above in integer math, 27% below in floating-point math, 12% below in compression, 10% above in cryptography, 25% below in physics simulation, 14% below in vector SIMD, 24% below in the prime sieve and 6% below 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.

The AMD Ryzen 5 6600U has 6 physical cores and runs 12 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.90 GHz and boosts up to 4.50 GHz.
