AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS vs AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a consistent pattern of dominance for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS across every head-to-head benchmark in the database. The 8845HS wins all 11 comparisons, with margins ranging from narrow to overwhelming.

The largest gap appears in data encryption, where the 8845HS scores 20,487 against the P132's 11,444, a 79% advantage. This is the single biggest delta in the comparison. Random string sorting also shows a massive divide: 41,867 versus 25,181, a 66.3% lead. Integer math follows closely at 56.8% ahead, with scores of 97,625 and 62,249.

Extended instructions reveal a 54% gap, as the 8845HS posts 25,434 against 16,520. Prime number finding shows a 52.6% difference, with scores of 87 and 57. Data compression comes in at 49.3%, with the 8845HS at 343,952 and the P132 at 230,437. Multithread performance is 48.3% higher, at 28,572 versus 19,262.

Floating point math delivers a 39.6% lead for the 8845HS, scoring 58,965 versus 42,248. Physics calculations show a 35.9% edge, at 1,389 compared to 1,022. The closest contest is single-thread performance, where the 8845HS scores 3,762 and the P132 scores 3,713, a modest 1.3% advantage. This near parity in single-thread work suggests the architectural differences between the two chips matter less for lightly threaded tasks than for heavily parallel workloads.

The average benchmark score for the 8845HS is 39,325, placing it in the 86th percentile of all CPUs. The P132 averages 37,804, also in the 86th percentile. Despite identical percentile placement, the raw score difference of 1,521 points represents a meaningful gap in overall throughput.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark results indicate the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS wins every measured category. There is no recorded test where the Ryzen AI Embedded P132 takes the lead. This makes the use-case split straightforward: the 8845HS is the stronger choice for every workload represented in the database.

The 8845HS shows its largest advantages in encryption, sorting, and integer math, which are common components of data processing and compression tasks. Its 79% lead in encryption suggests a substantial edge for security-related workloads such as VPN termination, database encryption, or secure file transfers. The 66.3% advantage in random string sorting points to strong performance in text processing, log analysis, or data serialization tasks.

The P132's closest result, single-thread performance, indicates it can hold its own in lightly threaded applications like basic office productivity or older software that relies on one or two cores. However, even there, the 8845HS remains ahead, so the P132 does not win any scenario outright.

For multi-core workloads, the 8845HS's 8 cores and 16 threads against the P132's 6 cores and 12 threads explain the consistent 40% to 60% margins. The P132's lower TDP of 28 watts versus 45 watts suggests it targets power-sensitive embedded deployments, but the database contains no efficiency benchmarks to confirm whether the lower power draw translates into a practical advantage.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in several core specifications. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS provides 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Ryzen AI Embedded P132 provides 6 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks are 3.80 GHz for the 8845HS and 2.00 GHz for the P132. Boost clocks are 5.10 GHz and 4.50 GHz respectively.

Thermal design power differs substantially: the 8845HS is rated at 45 watts, the P132 at 28 watts. The 8845HS uses AMD Socket FP7, while the P132 uses AMD Socket FP8. Both are mobile-market parts with active production status.

Memory support shows a difference: the 8845HS lists DDR5 only, while the P132 lists DDR5 and LPDDR5X. Both run dual-channel with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, and both support ECC. PCIe lane counts differ, with the 8845HS providing Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes and the P132 providing Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes.

The integrated graphics differ as well: the 8845HS carries the Radeon 780M, while the P132 carries the Radeon 840M. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The release dates in the database are 2024-04-15 for the 8845HS and 2026-03-08 for the P132.

Architecture Differences

The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS is built on Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, part of the 8000 series. The Ryzen AI Embedded P132 uses a mixed Zen 5 and Zen 5c design under the Gorgon Point codename, in the Ryzen AI Embedded generation. Both are manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC.

Cache configurations differ markedly. The 8845HS provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The P132 provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and only 4 MB of L3. The 8845HS has four times the L3 cache, which helps explain its large leads in multi-core and data-intensive benchmarks.

The 8845HS lists 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The P132 does not have transistor or die size data recorded in the database. The 8845HS also lists specific part numbers (100-000001316 for FP7r2 and 100-000001387 for FP7), while the P132's part number is listed as unknown.

The memory controller differences align with the LPDDR5X support on the P132, suggesting it targets lower-power embedded scenarios. The PCIe lane reduction from 20 to 14 on the P132 further indicates a more constrained I/O envelope, consistent with its lower 28-watt TDP.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear performance hierarchy. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS leads in every recorded benchmark, with margins that range from 1.3% in single-thread work to 79% in encryption. Its higher core count, larger L3 cache, and higher boost clock all contribute to this outcome.

The Ryzen AI Embedded P132 does not win any benchmark in the database. Its closest showing is in single-thread performance, where it trails by only 1.3%, indicating the Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores have competitive per-thread capability. However, the 4 MB L3 cache and 6-core configuration limit its multi-threaded performance, where the 8845HS leads by roughly 40% to 60% across most tests.

For workloads that prioritize raw throughput, encryption, compression, or multi-threaded parsing, the 8845HS is the clear choice based on the recorded measurements. Its 45-watt TDP and larger PCIe allocation also suggest it can feed more I/O devices.

The P132 targets a different profile: lower power, support for LPDDR5X, and a smaller physical design. Its 28-watt TDP and 14 PCIe lanes fit embedded systems where power and space take priority over peak performance. The 86th percentile ranking for both chips shows they land in the same broad performance class, but the 8845HS delivers more performance within that class.

The 1.3% single-thread gap is the only area where the P132 approaches parity. For single-core-bound software, the choice between the two makes little practical difference. For anything that scales across cores, the 8845HS's advantage is decisive, often exceeding 50%. The database's verdict is unambiguous: the 8845HS wins all 11 head-to-head tests, and the P132 wins none.
