AMD Advantage Laptops for High-Performance Gaming
The AMD Advantage™ design framework defines a new family of premium gaming laptops. Combining the latest AMD Ryzen™ processors and AMD Radeon™ RX graphics
with high-resolution displays, long-lasting batteries, and more, AMD Advantage™
gaming laptops deliver the responsive performance that today's gamers demand—all
within sleek, easily portable systems you can take anywhere.
For years, competitive gamers had to rely on big, heavy PC towers to get the
advanced processing, high-end graphics, cooling features and other components
needed to successfully navigate complex virtual game environments. Mobile gaming
often meant sacrifices such as inadequate frame rates, disruptive performance
lags, visual stutters and tears, or a short battery life.
AMD Advantage™ systems are upending the gaming world by making traditional mobile
gaming limitations a thing of the past. With an AMD Advantage™ gaming laptop,
you get:
- Amplified Performance-Experience a new level of speed and responsiveness
with award-winning AMD Ryzen™ processors and AMD Radeon™ graphics. Unlock
even more performance through smart technologies exclusive to AMD configured
systems.
- Premium Displays - AMD Advantage™ laptops enable high refresh, low-latency,
stutter and tear-free gaming on vividly bright, hyper responsive displays
- Built to Game - AMD Advantage™ systems are engineered for high-performance
gaming with optimized thermals to stay cool and quiet no matter how long you
play. These stylish designs punch above their weight.

ever.
What is the AMD Advantage Design Framework for Gaming Laptops?
The AMD Advantage™ design framework translates directly to incredible gaming
performance and mobility. How? It's the combination of exclusive AMD
technologies and advanced laptop components. Together, they enable a new
generation of mobile systems built specifically for long sessions of intense
gameplay.
Here are the most critical pieces of the AMD Advantage™ design framework for
high-end gaming laptops:
- AMD Ryzen™ Mobile Processors: The latest Ryzen™ CPUs for
mobile devices are prized by today's gamers, unleashing the highest
multi-thread processing performance you can get in a gaming
laptop.1
- AMD Radeon™ RX Mobile Graphics: Now available for laptops,
the AMD RDNA™ 2 architecture means ultra-high frame rates and power
efficiency - two "must haves" for mobile gamers.
- AMD Radeon™ Software: With one easy interface, users can
access multiple advanced AMD features for mobile gaming:
- AMD Radeon™ Chill helps preserve battery power by
regulating frame rates, running up to a defined FPS rate for periods of
intense motion but lowering rates when there's little on-screen action.
- AMD Radeon™ Boost dynamically lowers individual frame
resolution when fast on-screen motion is detected via user input,
enabling a higher FPS rate with little noticeable impact to
quality.2
- AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag reduces input lag by ensuring the
CPU doesn't get too far ahead of the GPU, so the queue of work waiting
for the graphics engine never gets too large.3
- AMD SmartShift: AMD-exclusive components optimize gaming
and battery performance to enhance your laptop experience. To extend battery
life during intense gameplay, machine-learning algorithms shift power
between the Ryzen™ processor and Radeon™ graphics card, as needed.
- AMD Smart Access Memory™ technology: With access to an
expanded data channel, AMD Ryzen™ processors can harness the full potential
of the Radeon™ graphics card memory. Enjoy increased gaming performance with
all-AMD in your system for the ultimate gaming advantage.
To earn the AMD Advantage™ design framework label, gaming laptops also must
feature premium, high-res displays with 144Hz or higher refresh
rates, 300+ nits brightness, and AMD FreeSync™ Premium technology for tear-free,
stutter-free imagery.4 They need optimized thermal
features designed to keep your gaming laptop cool and quiet over
long hours of competition. "All day battery life"
that requires up to 10 hours or more of video playback5, and when you
open the lid, standard NVMe SSD storage and Modern
Standby support are ready to wake the system (and launch games)
almost instantly.
If you're a mobile gamer but your laptop leaves you lagging behind the
competition, it's time to upgrade to an AMD Advantage™ gaming laptop. Even more
so if you're using a business laptop for gaming - most models simply can't keep
up. There's a better solution: AMD Ryzen™ processors, AMD Radeon™ RX graphics,
and all the other features of the AMD Advantage™ design framework.

1 Ryzen 5000 Series Mobile processors have the highest multi-thread
processing performance in each of four (4) classes of processors. Testing by AMD
engineering using the Cinebench R20 nT benchmark, measuring multithreaded
performance of a Ryzen 9 5900HX processor engineering sample vs. Intel Core
i9-10980HK, a Ryzen 7 5800U processor engineering sample vs Core i7-1185G7
processor, a Ryzen 5 5600U processor engineering sample vs Core i5-1135G7
processor, and a Ryzen 3 5400U processor engineering sample vs Core i3-1115G4
processor. Performance may vary. (CZM-1)
2 Testing conducted by AMD Performance Labs as of Feb 11, 2021, on the
Radeon™ RX 6700XT, using a test system comprising of AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU (3.7
GHz), 16GB DDR4-3200MHz memory, and Windows 10x64 with Radeon Software Adrenalin
2020 Edition 20.50 with Radeon Boost ON/OFF. Performance may vary. (RS-354)
3 Radeon™ Anti-Lag is compatible with DirectX 9, DirectX 11 and
DirectX 12 APIs, and Windows 7/10/11. Hardware compatibility includes Radeon GCN
and newer consumer dGPUs, Ryzen 2000 Series and newer APUs, including hybrid and
detachable graphics configurations. No mGPU support. (GD-157)
4 AMD FreeSync™ technology requires AMD Radeon™ graphics and a display
that supports FreeSync technology as certified by AMD. AMD FreeSync™ Premium
technology adds requirements of mandatory low framerate compensation and at
least 120 Hz refresh rate at minimum FHD. AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro technology
adds requirements for the display to meet AMD FreeSync Premium Pro compliance
tests. See www.amd.com/freesync for complete details. Confirm capability with
your system manufacturer before purchase. (GD-127)
5 AMD defines “All Day Battery Life” as at least 8 hours
of continuous battery life using a video playback test. Actual battery life will
vary based on several factors, including, but not limited to: system
configuration and software, settings, product use and age, and operating
conditions. (GD-173)
