AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D vs AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records a full Passmark benchmark suite for the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D, but the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has no recorded benchmark scores. This asymmetry makes a direct score-for-score comparison impossible. Instead, the analysis must rely on the 7500X3D's absolute scores and its position in the broader database.

The 7500X3D posts an average benchmark score of 44,573, placing it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs tracked. Its nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H at 44,466 (0.2% behind), the Intel Core i9-13950HX at 44,342 (0.5% behind), and the AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 at 44,309 (0.6% behind). The only rival ahead of it is the Intel Core i5-14600 at 44,889, a margin of 0.7%. These deltas are remarkably tight, indicating that the 7500X3D sits in a dense performance cluster where a single workload can shift the ordering.

Looking at the individual Passmark tests for the 7500X3D, the strongest results come from data compression at 271,649, integer math at 70,774, floating point math at 43,594, and extended instructions at 20,455. The multithread score is 25,047, while single-thread performance is recorded at 3,494. The physics test yields 2,779, and random string sorting produces 32,999. Data encryption scores 15,797, and find prime numbers delivers 221.

Because the 8845HS has no benchmark entries, the head-to-head section cannot quantify wins for either processor. The data does, however, offer a qualitative frame: the 7500X3D's percentile ranking of 89 versus the 8845HS's 50th percentile suggests a substantial gap in overall database standing. The 8845HS's average benchmark score is listed as zero, which reflects missing measurements rather than a real performance value. The record indicates zero wins for each side, a direct consequence of the empty benchmark arrays.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different AMD families despite sharing the Zen 4 core architecture. The 7500X3D belongs to the 7000 series with the codename Raphael, while the 8845HS is part of the 8000 series with the codename Hawk Point. Both use TSMC as the foundry, but the process nodes differ: the 7500X3D is built on 5 nm, and the 8845HS uses 4 nm. The transistor counts reflect this: the 7500X3D contains 11,270 million transistors on a 71 mm² die, whereas the 8845HS packs 25,000 million transistors into a 178 mm² die.

Core counts diverge sharply. The 7500X3D has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the 8845HS offers 8 cores and 16 threads. Clock speeds also favor the embedded part: the 7500X3D runs at a 4.00 GHz base and 4.50 GHz boost, while the 8845HS starts at 3.80 GHz base but boosts to 5.10 GHz. The thermal design power is lower on the 8845HS at 45 watts versus 65 watts for the 7500X3D, which is typical for a mobile-oriented part.

Cache hierarchies are where the 7500X3D makes its mark. Both have 64 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core, but the L3 cache differs dramatically: the 7500X3D has 96 MB shared, while the 8845HS has only 16 MB shared. This sixfold difference in L3 capacity is the defining architectural feature of the X3D part. The 8845HS compensates with a larger physical design and more cores, but the cache deficit is significant for workloads that benefit from large resident datasets.

Memory support is identical in type: both use DDR5 and dual-channel buses. The bandwidth figures differ slightly, with the 7500X3D at 83.2 GB/s and the 8845HS at 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities also diverge: the 7500X3D provides Gen 5 with 24 lanes (CPU only), while the 8845HS provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics differ as well: the 7500X3D includes Radeon Graphics, while the 8845HS carries the Radeon 780M.

The sockets are incompatible. The 7500X3D uses AMD Socket AM5, a desktop platform, while the 8845HS uses AMD Socket FP8, a mobile platform. The market segments reflect this: the 7500X3D is marked as Desktop, and the 8845HS is marked as Mobile. Both have locked multipliers, so neither supports direct overclocking via multiplier adjustment.

Where Each One Wins

The 7500X3D wins on architectural features that benefit cache-sensitive workloads. Its 96 MB of shared L3 cache is the standout advantage, and the database records strong scores in data compression (271,649) and integer math (70,774), which often respond well to larger caches. The higher base clock of 4.00 GHz, the Gen 5 PCIe interface with 24 lanes, and the desktop AM5 platform position it for systems where raw compute and expansion bandwidth matter. Its 65 W TDP is higher than the embedded part, but that is a tradeoff for the larger cache and desktop-oriented design.

The 8845HS wins on core count, thread count, and boost clock. With 8 cores and 16 threads versus 6 cores and 12 threads, it offers more parallel execution resources. The 5.10 GHz boost clock is the highest recorded between the two, and the 4 nm process node provides a denser transistor layout with 25,000 million transistors. The lower 45 W TDP makes it suited for thermally constrained environments. The 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth is slightly higher, and the Radeon 780M integrated graphics is a more specific part name than the generic Radeon Graphics on the 7500X3D. The FP8 socket and Mobile market segment indicate its intended use in embedded and portable systems.

The production status is Active for both, so availability is not a differentiator. The 8845HS has no recorded benchmarks, which means the database cannot validate its real-world performance claims. The 7500X3D, by contrast, has a full suite of measurements and a clear rival set.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split by use case. For desktop users who need large L3 cache, the 7500X3D is the only choice with recorded performance evidence. Its 89th percentile ranking, average score of 44,573, and proximity to high-end Intel and AMD parts in the nearest rivals table indicate it competes in a strong performance tier. The 96 MB L3 cache is the defining feature, and the benchmark results for compression and integer math suggest it handles data-heavy tasks effectively.

For embedded or mobile users, the 8845HS offers more cores, a higher boost clock, and a lower TDP, all packaged in a 4 nm design. The 45 W power envelope and 8-core configuration make it a plausible fit for systems where thermal limits are strict. However, the absence of any benchmark scores in the database means its performance cannot be quantified relative to the 7500X3D or any other processor. The 50th percentile ranking is a partial data point, but the average score of zero and empty rival list leave a gap in the record.

The release dates also matter. The 7500X3D has a launch MSRP of $269 and was released in November 2025, while the 8845HS came out in April 2024 and has no recorded launch MSRP. The 7500X3D is newer and carries a specific price point, whereas the 8845HS is an earlier part without pricing data.

The tie-breaker is the benchmark evidence. The 7500X3D has a complete Passmark profile, while the 8845HS has none. If the choice is between a measured performer and an unmeasured one, the database can only support the measured part. The 7500X3D's 89th percentile and tight rival margins give it a solid foundation. The 8845HS remains a promising but unverified option, and further testing would be required to place it in the database's performance hierarchy.
