performs like the Core i9-12950HX with half the cores

We can already know the performance of a high-performance AMD CPU for laptops, and this is the AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX. This processor is quite interesting, and it is that although it is not the top-of-the-range model of the company, its 8 high-performance cores are more than enough to meet the needs of any gamer on the go.

For context, the AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX offers a configuration of 8 cores and 16 processing threads under architecture AMD Zen4. These cores are manufactured by TSMC to a manufacturing process 5 nanometers, and is accompanied by integrated graphics based on the company’s most modern architecture, AMD RDNA3. To wrap things up, these cores run at a Base/Turbo frequency of 3.60/5.10GHz accompanied by 40 MB of cache memory together with a configurable TDP that oscillates between 45 and 75W.

What’s Interesting: AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX vs Intel Core i9-12950HX Performance in Cinebench R23

He AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX was seen by the well-known benchmarking software Cinebench R23 (via @9550pro)achieving a single-core performance of 1,828 points. This is to exceed by the minimum the 1,821 points that reaches the Intel Core i9-12950HK. Even more impressive is to be 15% faster than the Ryzen 9 6900HX (Zen3+), and just behind the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 for desktop computers (1,918 points).

In multicore performance, things improve noticeably, and it is that its 8 cores and 16 threads scoren 18,606 points. This implies being slightly less powerful than the Intel Core i9-12950HX (20,060 points), but it has merit knowing that this CPU has 16 cores and 24 threads (8x P-Core + 8x E-Core). On the other hand, it is nothing less than 34% faster than the Ryzen 9 6900HX. To finish, too It practically matches the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 desktop (18,413 points). In essence, it is a more than enough CPU for any gamer on laptops despite the fact that there are much more powerful options, and of course, faces.

Ojito, this is not the most powerful AMD CPU for laptops

If you want even more power, above we have the AMD Ryzen 9 7845HXwith nothing less than 12 high-performance cores and 24 threads at a frequency of 3.00/5.20 GHz together with 76 MB of cache and the same TDP.

What do you want even more power so that the laptop battery lasts 1 hour? don’t worry, he AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX It’s your choice. Here we already have 16 high-performance cores along with 32 threads at a Base/Turbo frequency of 2.50/5.40 GHz with 80 MB cache.

Now, it will be interesting to know the graphics cards that can accompany these chips. It is well known that NVIDIA’s top-of-the-range GPUs have always been tied to laptops with Intel CPUs. For now, it is unknown if this is maintained with the new Ryzen 7000, or if the story has changed. Luckily, these processors will arrive at the end of this month, so doubts will be dispelled very soon.

Being portable, it will also be interesting to know how the temperature of these CPUs will be managed. Not to mention the prices compared to their counterparts at Intel.
