Folks are getting excited about a purported notebook chip from AMD which might be capable of being overclocked.
A purported next-gen chip for laptops from AMD, the Ryzen 9 5900HX, has been spotted online, generating much excitement because this mobile chip might just allow for overclocking. The ‘HX’ designation could theoretically be like Intel’s ‘HK’ mobile processors which are unlocked and allow laptop gamers to overclock their CPUs and get that little bit more performance out of them. The Ryzen 9 5900HX (from the ‘Cezanne’ family) was highlighted on Twitter by Tum_Apisak, one of the most regularly posting hardware leakers around, who found the chip on the Geekbench database (inside an Asus ROG Zephyrus gaming laptop – more about that later). According to the Geekbench result presented, the 5900HX will be an 8-core chip (16-thread) clocked at 3.
