What do U, H, and HS [mean](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/80630/what-does-it-mean-to-be-paperclipped) in AMD Ryzen [mobile](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/324688/two-google-update-rankbrain-and-mobile) CPUs? ## Answers ### Answer by Hitesh Vohra **AMD H Series processors** – found in high-performance laptops aimed primarily at gamers. H SKU laptops have a higher 45W Thermal Design Power (or TDP). TDP is the amount of heat dissipated by a chip while working that can be effectively pushed out by the cooling system. **AMD HS Series processors –** The HS SKUs are less powerful than the H SKUs. However, HS SKUs consume less power than H SKUs. HS has a lower TDP of 35W, which is ten times less than the 45W TDP offered by AMD H Series chips. AMD HX Series processors are mobile processors with more than 45W TDP that offer slightly higher performance than other standard H series chips. The Ryzen 9 5980HX leads the new class of the Ryzen 5000 series, offering 'elite-level' performance over other H series chips, and is closely followed by the Ryzen 9 5900HX. https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&client=ca-pub-4392740333731945&output=html&h=280&adk=1233605006&adf=3836305596&pi=t.aa~a.705011304~i.5~rp.4&w=673&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1654111764&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=1094794600&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=673x280&url=http%3A%2F%2Fanswers.mindstick.com%2Fqa%2F97694%2Fwhat-do-u-h-and-hs-mean-in-amd-ryzen-mobile-cpus&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=168&rw=672&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&dt=1654110738197&bpp=9&bdt=2253&idt=10&shv=r20220526&mjsv=m202205260101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D662a2a89d90b1e4b-2225d144a5d30007%3AT%3D1638203387%3ART%3D1654111761%3AS%3DALNI_Ma2E0Om53DiaDVRvsM_pRedzkGOfg&gpic=UID%3D0000049bbcd8c2fb%3AT%3D1649361027%3ART%3D1654109567%3AS%3DALNI_MYxpVq19FV9XGwj1XHiGD59KpTonA&prev_fmts=0x0&nras=2&correlator=7598710188649&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1844689516.1638201988&ga_sid=1654110738&ga_hid=28205953&ga_fc=1&u_tz=330&u_his=1&u_h=864&u_w=1536&u_ah=824&u_aw=1536&u_cd=24&u_sd=1.25&adx=337&ady=794&biw=1519&bih=754&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=44759875%2C44759926%2C44759842%2C31067749%2C31067488&oid=2&pvsid=3547691444411182&pem=297&tmod=357128104&uas=0&nvt=1&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1536%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1536%2C754&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=23&ifi=4&uci=a!4&btvi=1&fsb=1&xpc=3WbBomXltv&p=http%3A//answers.mindstick.com&dtd=M **AMD U Series processors –** AMD U Series processors are mobile chips that power ultrathin and ultraportable laptops for increased productivity and battery life. \ **Read More: [Which is better, AMD Ryzen 5 5500U or Intel Core i5-1135G1?](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/97684/which-is-better-amd-ryzen-5-5500u-or-intel-core-i5-1135g1)** --- Original Source: https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/97694/what-do-u-h-and-hs-mean-in-amd-ryzen-mobile-cpus Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
