Handbrake sees another strong victory for the 45W-operating Ryzen 9 6900HS inside the ASUS G14. Frequency boosts and cache improvements for the new chip help it offer a small performance boost over the 45W Ryzen 9 5900HX. And versus the Core i9-12900H that is running at 35W long-duration power, the 6900HS is considerably quicker.

7-Zip in its multi-threaded performance benchmark is another strong showing for the 6900HS. As always for the Zen-based architectures, decompressing performance is particularly strong. High-speed DDR5 memory is likely helping the Zephyrus G14 here too.

The 32GB of 4800MHz dual-channel DDR5 delivers strong bandwidth for a system with a SODIMM slot. That’s even with AMD’s quirky write speed performance in AIDA persisting, as we are used to for new Zen.

Where the G14 and its DDR5 lack in terms of bandwidth versus LPDDR4 or LPDDR5, it does have latency benefits in its dual-channel operating mode.
