The eight-core Ryzen 9 5900HX with an unlocked multiplier runs from 3.3GHz to 4.6GHz. It is differentiated from the Ryzen 9 5980HX by a 200MHz reduced Boost frequency.

According to PassMark, Ryzen 9 5900HX, tested with ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17 G733 gaming notebook, scored 24,039 points in multi-threaded benchmark, beating out any other mobile processor tested in this benchmark.

Ryzen 9 5900HX beats all Intel Tiger Lake-U chips, and also flagship H-series Core i9-10980HK, which also has unlocked multiplier. AMD has officially unveiled eight Ryzen 5000H series processors.

At the moment, it's unknown whether AMD intends to release it.
