Ryzen 7 6800HS: CPU benchmarks and laptop guide

Ryzen 7 6800HS — meets the recommended CPU requirement in 63 of 69 cataloged games, 10 models in the catalog.

Ryzen 7 6800HS — meets the recommended CPU requirement in 63 of 69 cataloged games , 10 laptop models in the used-laptop catalog . This guide covers what the chip delivers, where it sits among laptop CPUs in 2026, and which laptops carry it.

The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS is the Rembrandt generation's take on the slim performance laptop — an 8-core Zen 3+ design from the 2022 Ryzen 6000 generation that paired a 6 nm process with the Radeon 680M integrated graphics. The catalog matches it to 10 models, and it meets the recommended CPU requirement in 63 of the 69 games the site tracks. This guide covers where the chip sits among laptop CPUs, what it brings to a portable, and which laptops carry it.

Where the Ryzen 7 6800HS sits in 2026

A catalog score of 76.7 places the chip 54th of 672 scored laptop CPUs — the top eight percent of a table that spans two decades of silicon. The neighborhood is a generational mix: the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950HS (77.2), Core Ultra 5 135U (77.2) and Xeon W-11955M (76.8) just above, the Ryzen 7 PRO 6850HS (76.6), Core Ultra 7 165U (76.4) and Ryzen 5 PRO 7540U (75.9) just below. Sitting within half a point of its Ryzen 9 PRO sibling (77.2) and ahead of the newer Core Ultra 7 165U (76.4) is the story — 2022 silicon that still out-ranks a following generation's mid-premium parts.

What the chip brings

Rembrandt-HS is an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3+ design built on a 6 nm process and rated at 35 W in its HS-class configuration: a 3.2 GHz base clock and up to 4.7 GHz boost. The integrated Radeon 680M runs at up to 2,200 MHz, which matters for the slimmer machines in this roster that ship without discrete graphics. In public benchmarks the chip posts 1,808 single-core and 8,622 multi-core in Geekbench. Memory support and cache details were not captured for this chip, so the table above sticks to what the catalog verifiably holds.

Games: CPU-side readiness

Measured purely as a processor, the chip clears the recommended CPU tier for 63 of 69 cataloged games — including Fortnite, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Red Dead Redemption 2, Alan Wake 2, Counter-Strike 2, Metro Exodus and the lightest esports entries. Six demanding titles sit at the minimum tier: Starfield, Helldivers 2, Call of Duty: Warzone, Baldur's Gate 3, Hogwarts Legacy and Elden Ring all list the chip above their minimum but below their recommended CPU requirement. These verdicts are CPU-only — whether a game actually plays well depends on the laptop's GPU and RAM, and that is where the machines carrying this chip vary most.

Laptops that carry it

The 10-model roster is dominated by ASUS's 2022 gaming line: the ROG Flow X13 and Flow X16, ROG Strix G15 G513, ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402 and ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503 all sit at $737, with the ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (M6500) at $553 and Vivobook S14X OLED at $470 adding creator value. Lenovo covers the premium-portable side — the Slim 7 Pro X at $840 plus the IdeaPad 5 Pro Gen 7 and IdeaPad Slim 5 Pro at $470 each. Roster medians describe the fleet honestly: office comfort at a perfect 100, a gaming index of 65.5 and a performance index of 69.92 reflect the discrete-GPU majority, while portability at 44.5 and mobility at 50 say these are substantial machines rather than ultrabooks.

Bottom line

The Ryzen 7 6800HS is a used-market sweet spot for slim gaming laptops: near-flagship ranking for its era, recommended-tier CPU clearance for 63 of 69 tracked games, and a roster where ROG machines cluster at $737. Judge each listing by its discrete GPU and condition rather than the CPU badge — the processor is rarely the weak link — and note the IdeaPad options at $470 if gaming is secondary to everyday use.
