Earlier this year, Honor refreshed the MagicBook 14 series with the latest cutting-edge Intel 12th-Gen chipsets. Notably, the Chinese tech giant has teased the 2022-refresh of the MagicBook 14 AMD Ryzen Edition series to the latest Ryzen 6000 series platform.

Honor has officially announced that the Honor MagicBook 14 Ryzen Edition will be released at the Honor All-Scenario Conference on July 21st at 19:30 Chinese Time, using OS Turbo technology to achieve great performance and long battery life.

The predecessor of this year’s variant runs on AMD Ryzen 5000 series processor. At CES 2021, AMD revealed its Ryzen 5000 Mobile processors (CPU), bringing powerful mobile chips to its array of powerful desktop CPUs. These turned out to be highly successful, and AMD released Ryzen 6000 Mobile CPUs at CES 2022 a year later in an effort to capitalize on the popularity of Ryzen 5000. 

The redesigned AMD Zen 3+ core, which is designed to give greater performance per watt, serves as the foundation for AMD Ryzen 6000 processors. In comparison to the 5000 series, the chips have clock rates of up to 5GHz, 1.3x better processing speeds, and up to 2.1x quicker graphics.

The AMD version of the MagicBook 14 may come with Ryzen 6600U and 6800U processors. The laptop is 15.9mm thick, has an all-metal body, and is available in star grey and glacier silver.

The Ryzen 6000 CPUs can process up to 16 threads and have up to eight cores, each of which can handle numerous tasks at once. AMD claims that compared to the 5000 series cards, the CPUs are capable of up to 11 percent greater single-single thread performance and up to 28 percent quicker multithreaded performance. The 2022 MagicBook 14 Ryzen Edition features a discreet Nvidia Geforce GTX 2050 graphics card.

Additionally, this is the first ultra-compact laptop with Honor OS Turbo technology.
