"I am using the Ryzen 9 5900HX in the Asus ROG Strix. The temperature is a bit warm (in an air-conditioned room), but the performance is very satisfying in my opinion. It's similar to the Ryzen 7 6800, but the difference is that it's just a little warmer."

I own the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (2022) with Ryzen 9 - 5900HX, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 6GB VRAM, and a 144Hz refresh rate. In my personal opinion, this processor tends to heat up, but the performance is next-level. When you plug in the power adapter and switch to turbo mode, the FPS is best in class.

Despite these comparisons, the Ryzen 7 6800H still comes out on top. It outperforms both the Ryzen 9 5900HS and the Intel i7 12650H. Additionally, because it's based on a 6 nm fabrication process, it also tends to generate less heat.
