AMD's Ryzen 5 5600H largely beats the Ryzen 5 4600H on Geekbench 5
The Ryzen 5 5600H will be part of the line of AMD's next-generation Ryzen 5000 (codenamed Cezanne) mobile chip. The APU family is expected to be based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture, while retaining a Vega integrated GPU. The base configuration of the Ryzen 5000 should be identical to that of the previous Ryzen 4000 (Renoir), so the increase in performance will come from the use of Zen 3 cores and the increased amount of L3 cache.
The Ryzen 5 5600H is equipped with six cores, twelve threads and 16MB of L3 cache. It's the same configuration that AMD uses with the current Ryzen 5 4600H, but with a doubled L3 cache.
In addition to using Zen 3, the Ryzen 5 5600H seems to differentiate itself from its predecessor by a substantial increase as well clock speeds. According to data published on Geekbench 5, the Ryzen 5 5600H features a base clock of 3.3GHz and a boost clock of 4.24GHz, registering an increase of 300MHz and 240MHz, respectively, over the Ryzen's base and boost frequencies. 5 4600H.
Obviously, as with any component not yet officially on the market, we remind you that the results reported must be taken with pliers, as we do not know if the Ryzen 5 5600H in question is an engineering sample or if the notebook's cooling system has affected its capabilities.

At the time of writing, seven Ryzen 5 5600H results have been posted on Geekbench 5. The highest single-core and multi-core scores are 1,379 points and 6,086 points, respectively. In the Geekbench 5 database, the Ryzen 5 4600H achieved an average score in single-core of 996 points and multi-core of 4,837 points. Therefore, Ryzen 5 5600H can deliver up to 38.5% higher single-core performance than Ryzen 5 4600H and 25.8% higher multi-core performance.
The Ryzen 5000 series looks pretty promising. Over the past few days we have already reported various sightings of laptops equipped with this line of processors and we can't wait to find out more at their official presentation, for which we will have to wait until next year.
