Multi-threaded performance from the Ryzen 7 6800U is very strong. Cinebench R23 is 12% quicker than the Ryzen 7 5800U inside an almost identical laptop. And as we see from the Blender BMW numbers, AMD’s new low-power 6800U isn’t far behind a chassis-restricted Core i9-12900H.

Conservative power budgets on Samsung’s Intel-based laptop give AMD a strong lead versus the Core i7-1260P, particularly for long duration benchmarks.

Single-threaded performance from the 6800U is OK, but it’s certainly nothing special. Intel’s ageing Tiger Lake solutions are just as quick and there hasn’t really been an improvement from previous-gen Ryzen 7 5800U.

Intentional restrictions to the short-duration boost power affect AMD’s result here; that’s clearly evident with the chassis-restricted Intel H-series parts now enjoying sizable performance leads.

The Ryzen 7 6800U performance is reduced by 7% after 10 minutes of back-to-back Cinebench runs. That’s perfectly reasonable, albeit greater than the performance drop-off seen on the Ryzen 7 5800U solution.
