AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX vs AMD Ryzen 9 7840HX vs AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX
AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX
► remove from comparison
The AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX is a fast high-end laptop processor of the Dragon Range series. It offers 12 of the 16 cores based on the Zen 4 architecture that supports hyperthreading (24 threads). The cores clock from 3 (base) up to 5.2 GHz (single core boost). The 7845HX is the second-fastest mobile Ryzen CPU at launch and derived from the desktop Ryzen 9 7900X.
The Dragon Range series still uses a chiplet design with two CCD-clusters (each with 8 possible cores) in 5nm and an IO-die (including the memory controller and the Radeon 610M iGPU) in 6nm. The chip integrates 4x USB 3.2 Gen2 (10 Gbps) ports (no USB4), 28 PCIe 5.0 lanes (for GPU and SSDs) and a dual-channel DDR5-5200 memory controller.
Performance
The average 7845HX in our database is in the same league as the Core i9-13900HX, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned. This is a super-fast chip, as of mid 2023; of course, your mileage may vary depending on how competent the cooling solution of your laptop is and how high the CPU power limits are.
The R9 7845HX is rated at a TDP of 55 Watt and can be configured from 45 to 75 Watt (cTDP).
AMD Ryzen 9 7840HX
► remove from comparisonThe AMD Ryzen 9 7840HX is a high-end notebook processor from the Dragon Range series with 12 cores and hyperthreading (SMT), which means it can process up to 24 threads simultaneously. The CPU uses the current Zen 4 architecture for the 12 cores and clocks these from 2.9 GHz (base clock) up to 5.1 GHz (single-core boost). The CPU offers 12 MB L2 cache and 64 MB L3 cache (i.e. a total of 76 MB cache). The 7840X consists of three chiplets, two CCD clusters with a maximum of 8 CPU cores on 5nm (71mm²) and one IO die on 6nm (122mm²) which are all manufactured by TSMC.
The performance of the Ryzen 9 should be significantly faster than the old Ryzen 9 6980HX (top model Rembrandt H, 8 cores, max 5 GHz). This is achieved by the additional cores, higher clock rate and improved architecture. Compared to the one year older Ryzen 9 7845HX, the 7840HX is clocked 100 MHz lower.
The chip also integrates 4x USB 3.2 Gen2 (10 Gbps) ports (no USB 4), 28 PCIe 5.0 lanes (for GPUs and SSDs), a dual-channel DDR5-5200 memory controller and a small AMD Radeon 610M graphics card (2CUs, 400 - 2200 MHz).
The R9 7840HX is specified with 55 watts TDP and can be configured from 45 to 75 watts (cTDP).
AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX
► remove from comparisonThe AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX is a fast high-end laptop processor of the Dragon Range series. It offers 16 cores based on the Zen 4 architecture that supports hyperthreading (32 threads). The cores clock from 2.5 (base) up to 5.4 GHz (single core boost). The 7945HX is the fastest mobile Ryzen CPU at launch and derived from the desktop Ryzen 9 7950X.
The Dragon Range series still uses a chiplet design with two CCD-clusters (each with 8 possible cores) in 5nm and an IO-die (including the memory controller and the Radeon 610M iGPU) in 6nm. The chip integrates 4x USB 3.2 Gen2 (10 Gbps) ports (no USB4), 28 PCIe 5.0 lanes (for GPU and SSDs) and a dual-channel DDR5-5200 memory controller.
Performance
The Ryzen 9 7945HX is among the fastest processors in our database, as of August 2023. It is in the same league as the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D and noticeably ahead of the Core i9-13980HX, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned. It is outrageously, unbelievably fast, and those fortunate enough to purchase a laptop built around this CPU will have no performance issues for at least three years.
Thanks to its powerful cooling solution and a long-term CPU power limit of 128 W, the ROG Strix Scar 17 G733PY-XS96 is one of the fastest laptops built around the 7945HX that we know of.
The R9 7945HX is rated at a TDP of 55 Watt and can be configured up to 75 Watt (cTDP).
