Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, built on TSMC's 4 nm process with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 uses a hybrid Zen 5 / Zen 5c configuration under the Krackan Point codename, also on TSMC's 4 nm process, though its transistor count and die size are not recorded in the database.

The core counts differ significantly. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS provides 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Ryzen AI 7 345 provides 6 cores and 12 threads. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, whereas the Ryzen AI 7 345 has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz.

Cache configurations diverge as well. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS uses 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Ryzen AI 7 345 uses a larger 80 KB of L1 cache per core, the same 1 MB of L2 cache per core, but only 4 MB of L3 cache. The smaller L3 allocation on the Ryzen AI 7 345 likely contributes to its lower multi-threaded performance despite the newer architecture.

Both chips use AMD Socket variants, but they are not interchangeable. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS uses AMD Socket FP7, while the Ryzen AI 7 345 uses AMD Socket FP8. The integrated graphics differ: the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS pairs with Radeon 780M, and the Ryzen AI 7 345 pairs with Radeon 840M. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS also supports ECC memory, while the Ryzen AI 7 345 does not.

The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS belongs to the 8000 series and was released in April 2024. The Ryzen AI 7 345 belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation and was released in January 2025. Both are mobile-market parts with active production status. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a sweeping victory for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS across nearly every workload. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS scores 24565 against 11461 for the Ryzen AI 7 345, a 114.3% advantage. That is the single largest margin in the comparison. Cinebench R23 single-core shows a 90.8% lead for the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS with scores of 3468 versus 1818.

The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS also dominates in older Cinebench versions. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, it scores 2476 versus 1712, a 44.6% gap. In Cinebench R15 single-core, the margin is 28.8% with scores of 349 versus 271.

PassMark integer math favors the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS at 97625 versus 63475, a 53.8% lead. Data encryption shows a 73.4% gap, with scores of 20487 versus 11814. Random string sorting gives the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS a 64.6% advantage: 41867 versus 25435. Extended instructions widen to 49.6% with 25434 versus 17003.

The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS leads by 44.8% in data compression (343952 versus 237484) and by 43.4% in PassMark multithread (28572 versus 19927). Floating point math shows a 38.3% gap (58965 versus 42621), and prime number finding shows a 40.3% gap (87 versus 62). Physics results give the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS a 27.5% advantage (1389 versus 1089).

The only two tests where the Ryzen AI 7 345 secures the win are the PassMark single-thread and PassMark singlethread measurements, which report identical scores of 3875 versus 3762, a 2.9% lead for the Ryzen AI 7 345. That single-thread result is notable because it flips the pattern seen in Cinebench R23 single-core, where the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS is far ahead. The PassMark single-thread test appears to reward the newer Zen 5 architecture's per-core efficiency more than the Cinebench workload does.

Overall, the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS records 13 wins versus 2 wins for the Ryzen AI 7 345. The average benchmark scores reflect this: 39325 versus 29461, a difference of roughly 33% in favor of the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS.

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS outperforms the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 in 13 of 15 recorded tests, often by substantial margins. The largest gap, 114.3% in Cinebench R23 multi-core, reflects the combination of more cores, higher clocks, and a larger L3 cache on the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS.

The Ryzen AI 7 345 wins only the PassMark single-thread tests, and by a modest 2.9%. That single-thread edge does not compensate for the losses in every other category. In multi-threaded workloads, the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS is consistently 27% to 114% faster, depending on the test.

The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS also carries a higher TDP at 45 watts versus 28 watts for the Ryzen AI 7 345. That power difference helps explain the performance gap. The Ryzen AI 7 345 targets lower power consumption, while the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS uses the extra power budget for higher sustained performance.

The Ryzen AI 7 345 does offer a newer architecture in Zen 5 / Zen 5c, and it supports LPDDR5X memory in addition to DDR5. It also uses a smaller L3 cache at 4 MB versus 16 MB, which likely limits its multi-threaded performance. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS provides ECC memory support and more PCIe lanes, which matters for certain professional workloads.

For raw compute performance, the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS is the clear choice from the recorded data. It wins the overwhelming majority of benchmarks and delivers more than double the performance in the most demanding multi-core test. The Ryzen AI 7 345 has a place only where single-thread PassMark scores matter most and where the lower 28-watt TDP is a priority.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS wins in all Cinebench tests, all PassMark compute tests, all PassMark memory-related tests, and the PassMark physics test. Its strengths are most pronounced in multi-threaded rendering, data encryption, integer math, and random string sorting. The 114.3% lead in Cinebench R23 multi-core makes it the preferred processor for CPU-bound rendering and simulation workloads.

The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS also leads in data compression by 44.8%, which benefits file archiving and database operations. Its 73.4% lead in data encryption and 64.6% lead in random string sorting further reinforce its advantage in data-heavy tasks. The 53.8% lead in integer math and 49.6% lead in extended instructions indicate strong performance in general-purpose computing and scientific workloads.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 wins only the PassMark single-thread and PassMark singlethread tests, both scoring 3875 versus 3762 for the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS. That 2.9% margin suggests the Zen 5 architecture has a slight per-core efficiency advantage in certain light-thread workloads. However, this advantage does not appear in Cinebench R23 single-core, where the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS leads by 90.8%.

The Ryzen AI 7 345 also has the lower TDP at 28 watts versus 45 watts, so it may be the more appropriate choice for fanless or ultra-portable designs where power draw is the primary constraint. Its support for LPDDR5X memory adds flexibility for compact system designs. Still, the performance data shows that the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS is the stronger processor in nearly every measurable category.
