Heavily multi-threaded performance from the Ryzen 9 6900HS boosted to 45W under SmartShift Max is excellent. In fact, this setup matches a Ryzen 9 5900HX inside a much better cooled 17-inch laptop.
Blender’s short BMW test also sees the G14 and its Ryzen 9 joint-topping our chart. Here, the new Zen 3+ HS-series chip beats out the Core i9-12900H inside a comparable chassis.
The longer Blender Classroom test sees the 6900HS laptop cement its position at the top of our chart thanks to clean, consistent power delivery from ASUS.
Single-threaded Cinebench performance from Zen 3+ is strong, managing to slightly outperform Intel’s Tiger Lake in 28W form, as well as the older Zen 3 Ryzen 5000. But compared to Intel’s 12th Gen chip with its lofty turbo frequencies and mixture of Performance and Efficient cores, the Ryzen 9 6900HS is very well beaten; AMD loses big here.
Performance consistency from the Zephyrus G14 is excellent; barely any Cinebench nT scoring is lost after 10 minutes. This is no surprise given the clean 45W and roughly 3.8GHz operating throughout our extended CPU load testing.
