Pros
- Improved cooling solution with dual fans and heatsinks contributes to better temperature management even at higher wattages
- The Ryzen 6900HX may just be based on Zen3+ but it performs very close to the Zen4 CPUs.
- USB4 port allows you to connect to an eGPU if you need more gaming performance.
Cons
- Doesn’t really stand out from the competition.
- It has gotten a little taller to support the improved cooling.
- It can draw significant power under load, with system consumption reaching up to 112 watts during extreme stress tests.
