AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U

Efficient business processor
The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U was announced in mid-2022. The processor is based on the Zen 3+ architecture, with an improved 6 nm manufacturing process and slightly higher clock rates. It clocks from 2.7 GHz in standard mode and 4.7 GHz in turbo mode. Hyperthreading is also supported, which enables computing on 8 cores and 16 virtual threads.

The TDP (Thermal Design Power) is 28 watts, making the processor very efficient, but also slightly less powerful than comparable processors such as the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H. With support for DDR5-4800 MHz and LPDDR5-6400 MHz, only the fastest RAM currently available on the market is installed in this processor.

With the new AMD Radeon 680M as an internally installed graphics card, many older or less demanding games can be played smoothly on medium to high settings. Image and video editing also work with this graphics card.

However, the strength of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U lies in its features. Additional management functions enable increased security, which is particularly interesting for companies. Additional remote control functions have also been built into this chip to ensure fast and efficient IT support, for example.

As a result, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U is also offered exclusively in workstations and work notebooks. Usually without an external graphics card, as the integrated graphics card can easily handle all office tasks. Lenovo in particular often installs the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U in the best-equipped notebooks in the ThinkPad model series. The devices on offer are in the average range with a display size between 13 inches (33 cm) and 16 inches (41 cm).

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U is a powerful and efficient processor which, with additional Pro features, is one of the best business processors currently available on the market.
