Ryzen 7 6800H: CPU benchmarks and laptop guide

The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H carried the Rembrandt generation into 2022 gaming and creator laptops — an 8-core Zen 3+ design paired with DDR5 memory support and the Radeon 680M integrated graphics. The catalog matches it to 28 models, and it meets the recommended CPU requirement in 68 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 6800H sits in 2026

A catalog score of 77.6 places the chip 46th of 672 scored laptop CPUs — comfortably inside the upper tenth of the table. The neighborhood is a tight cluster of eras: the Ryzen 5 7640U (78.7), Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (78.3) and Ryzen 7 7735HS (77.8) sit just above, while the Ryzen 5 7540U (77.6), Ryzen 5 8640HS (77.5) and Ryzen 5 8640U (77.5) cluster just below. A 2022 design trading places with newer-numbered Ryzen parts — and separated from its own PRO-branded 6850H sibling by a single rank — is the story here: the normalized score holds up next to silicon that arrived a generation or two later.

What the chip brings

Rembrandt-H is an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3+ design on a 6 nm process, rated at 45 W in its H-class configuration: a 3.2 GHz base clock and up to 4.7 GHz boost. Memory support is fully documented — DDR5-4800 or LPDDR5-6400 in dual-channel configurations up to 64 GB, with up to 76 GB/s of bandwidth — and the Radeon 680M handles integrated graphics duty. In public benchmarks the chip posts 1,844 single-core and 8,846 multi-core in Geekbench.

Games: CPU-side readiness

Measured purely as a processor, the chip clears the recommended CPU tier for 68 of 69 cataloged games — from Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, Hogwarts Legacy, Fortnite and The Witcher 3 at the demanding end through Helldivers 2, Alan Wake 2, Returnal and Black Myth Wukong down to Civilization 6 at the light end. Starfield is the only holdout, listing the chip above its minimum but below its recommended CPU requirement. These verdicts are CPU-only — whether a game actually plays well depends on the laptop's GPU and RAM, which on this roster usually means a discrete card doing the heavy lifting.

Laptops that carry it

The 28-model roster is gaming-heavy 2022–2023 hardware: Alienware M17 R5 at $1,087 and M15 R7 at $1,111, Dell G15 5525 at $676, ASUS ROG Flow X13 and X16, TUF Gaming A15/A17 and Strix G15 all at $737, and the Legion Slim 7 Gen 8 at $922. The mainstream side runs from the Vivobook Pro 15 OLED at $553 through the IdeaPad 3 15ARH7 at $770 to the Zenbook Pro 17 at $840. Roster medians describe the fleet honestly: office comfort at a perfect 100, a gaming index of 75 and a median best-GPU score of 78.5 reflect machines built around discrete graphics, while mobility at 34 and portability at 32.5 mark this as full-size gaming territory.

Bottom line

The Ryzen 7 6800H is a value path into 2022-era gaming laptops: recommended-CPU-tier coverage of effectively the whole tracked catalog, DDR5 memory, and used prices from the mid-$500s. It is a buy-the-laptop-not-the-chip proposition — the GPU in each listing decides what the machine is worth. The catalog's compare pages against the Ryzen 7 8845HS, the Ryzen 7 5800H and the newer Ryzen AI 7 350 show exactly what each step up costs.
