AMD Zen 6 Laptop CPU Hits 3329 Geekbench Score, Beating x86 Rivals by 28%

Summary
A newer 10-core AMD Zen 6 engineering sample scored 3329 single-core and 16,555 multi-core in Geekbench, topping every x86 laptop CPU tested on single-core performance.
The result came from the same “Plum-MDS1” chip family as an earlier sample but a newer “-33_N” revision, suggesting updated silicon, platform, or firmware drove the jump.
Against AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, the Zen 6 sample was about 28% faster in single-core and 24% faster in multi-core using Primate Labs’ reference scores.
Clock data points to efficiency gains: the Zen 6 part averaged 4.46 GHz during testing, below 4.84 GHz for a tested HX 370 and 5.1 GHz for an overclocked system, hinting at a sizable IPC uplift.
If those gains hold in shipping products, AMD could deliver a major mobile CPU performance jump when Zen 6 laptops arrive later this year or early 2027.
