AMD’s Ryzen 9 7945HX 16-core laptop CPU edged out Intel’s 13th Gen Core i9 HX series in Geekbench for single-thread performance

The very first Ryzen 9 7945HX benchmark was spotted in the Geekbench database. This processor is part of AMD’s “Dragon Range” series with up to 16 Zen4 cores and 32 threads. The number of threads is just as high as in Intel’s 13th generation Core HX models. Generation, but the number of cores is lower (compared to 24).

The full configuration is available for the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX, so both CCDs are equipped with real 8 cores. This corresponds to twice as many cores compared to the Rembrandt silicon of the last generation. AMD has also increased the maximum clock rates and the TDP in the latest generation. At 55 watts, the 7945HX clocks up to 5.4 GHz, and the TDP can be configured up to 75 watts. The AMD processor was tested in the ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 laptop, the upcoming ultra-expensive dual-screen gaming notebook. It has been equipped with a total of 32 GB of DDR5 memory clocked at 4800 MT/s.

The CPU’s average score is 2061 and 18685 points in the single- and multi-core Geekbench test. The best result was achieved with 2127 points in the single-core test and 19403 points in the multi-core test. This result puts the AMD processor at the top of the single-core benchmark ranking for mobile CPUs and it is only a few percentage points behind Intel’s Core i9-HX series in the multi-core test.

The new Ryzen 9 for laptops is also significantly faster than the 8-core model of the last generation. Compared to the Ryzen 9 7945HX, the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX Zen3+ processor with 8 cores only offers about half the multi-core performance. It is also important to note that AMD’s mobile CPU offers very similar performance to a desktop CPU with 12 cores, which has a higher standard TDP (55 W versus 170 W). However, Geekbench is a relatively short benchmark, so it definitely doesn’t tell the whole story.
