Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and manufacturing processes. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS is built on TSMC's 4 nm process node, part of the 8000 series, using the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename. The Intel Core 7 350 is built on Intel's 3 nm process node, using the Wildcat Lake codename. The AMD chip integrates 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, while the Intel chip's transistor count and die size are not recorded in the database.

Core configurations differ substantially. The AMD processor provides 8 physical cores with 16 threads, while the Intel processor provides 6 physical cores with 6 threads. The AMD chip has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, compared to the Intel chip's 1.50 GHz base and 4.80 GHz boost. The thermal design power also differs significantly: 45 watts for the AMD versus 15 watts for the Intel.

Cache hierarchies show distinct approaches. The AMD chip allocates 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip allocates a much larger 192 KB of L1 per core and 2.5 MB of L2 per core, but only 6 MB of shared L3 cache. This larger per-core cache allocation on the Intel side does not compensate for the smaller shared pool in multi-core workloads.

Memory support and PCIe lane counts also differ. The AMD processor supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel access and ECC. The Intel processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory but only through a single-channel interface without ECC. For PCIe, the AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 20 CPU-only lanes, while the Intel chip provides Gen 4 with 6 CPU-only lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD uses Radeon 780M, while the Intel uses Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores.

The Verdict

The database shows a decisive performance hierarchy between these two mobile processors. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS wins 14 of the 17 recorded head-to-head benchmarks, while the Intel Core 7 350 wins only 3. The average benchmark score difference is stark: 39325 for the AMD versus 17779 for the Intel, a gap of roughly 121%.

The AMD processor's advantages are most pronounced in multi-threaded and compute-heavy workloads. Cinebench R23 multi-core shows a 205.9% delta, PassMark integer math shows a 189.4% delta, and PassMark random string sorting shows a 142.9% delta. These results indicate that the AMD chip's 8 cores with 16 threads provide a massive throughput advantage over the Intel's 6 cores with 6 threads.

The Intel Core 7 350 does hold specific advantages in single-threaded PassMark tests and prime number finding. Its PassMark single thread score of 4100 exceeds the AMD's 3762 by 8.2%, and it finds prime numbers at a rate of 107 versus 87. These wins suggest that the Intel chip can handle certain latency-sensitive or branch-heavy single-thread tasks efficiently.

For users prioritizing raw multi-core performance, data compression, encryption, floating point math, or extended instruction workloads, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS is the clear choice based on the recorded measurements. For scenarios where single-thread PassMark performance or prime number calculation matters most, the Intel Core 7 350 shows a measurable edge. The AMD processor's higher 45-watt TDP and dual-channel memory support align with its stronger multi-core results, while the Intel's 15-watt TDP and single-channel memory suggest a lower-power design with narrower memory bandwidth.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS dominates in multi-core rendering workloads. Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 multi-core tests all show deltas between 92% and 205.9% in its favor. This indicates that video rendering, 3D modeling, and batch processing tasks that scale with thread count will perform substantially better on the AMD platform.

Data processing and encryption workloads heavily favor the AMD chip. PassMark data compression shows a 140.3% delta, data encryption an 87.4% delta, and random string sorting a 142.9% delta. These results point to advantages in database operations, file archiving, and security-related computations.

Mathematical and computational workloads also favor the AMD processor. PassMark integer math shows a 189.4% delta, floating point math a 37.7% delta, and extended instructions a 111.2% delta. These results cover scientific computing, financial modeling, and signal processing use cases.

The Intel Core 7 350 wins in prime number finding, a workload that stresses branch prediction and integer division. Its score of 107 surpasses the AMD's 87 by 18.7%. The Intel chip also wins in PassMark single-thread performance with a score of 4100 versus 3762, an 8.2% delta. This suggests that certain lightly threaded applications that depend on single-core latency may run slightly faster on the Intel processor.

The thermal envelope difference is notable. The Intel Core 7 350 operates at 15 watts TDP versus the AMD's 45 watts. This indicates that the Intel chip may fit into more power-constrained mobile designs, though the database does not record battery life or thermal performance metrics. The AMD chip's higher power budget aligns with its consistently higher multi-core scores, while the Intel chip's lower power target correlates with its narrower performance profile.
