AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 vs AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a full benchmark suite for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has no recorded benchmark scores in this data set. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible for most workloads. However, the Ryzen AI 7 345's recorded results can be analyzed against its nearest rivals to establish a performance baseline.

The Ryzen AI 7 345 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11461 and a single-core score of 1818. In Cinebench R15, it records 1712 multi-core and 271 single-core. PassMark results show 63475 in integer math, 42621 in floating point math, 237484 in data compression, and 11814 in data encryption. The single-thread PassMark score sits at 3875, while the multi-thread score reaches 19927.

The average benchmark score for the Ryzen AI 7 345 is 29461, placing it at the 81st percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, scores 29447, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD EPYC 9654 scores 29409, 0.2 percent lower. The Intel Core i5-13500HX records 29270, 0.7 percent behind. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE leads by a narrow margin at 29656, which is 0.7 percent higher. These figures indicate the Ryzen AI 7 345 sits in a tightly clustered performance band, within roughly one percent of four very different CPUs spanning desktop, server, and mobile segments.

Because the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS lacks benchmark entries, the head-to-head section must rely on architectural and specification differences rather than measured scores. The data shows the Embedded part uses an 8-core, 16-thread configuration, while the AI 7 345 uses 6 cores and 12 threads. The Embedded chip's base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 5.10 GHz both exceed the AI 7 345's 2.00 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost. The Embedded part also carries a 45 W TDP versus 28 W for the AI 7 345. These raw specifications suggest the Embedded 8845HS should produce higher throughput in multi-threaded workloads, but no benchmark data confirms this.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share the same AMD Socket FP8, 4 nm process node, and TSMC foundry. Both support dual-channel memory with a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both use PCIe Gen 4, though the Embedded 8845HS provides 20 lanes while the AI 7 345 provides 14 lanes (CPU only). Both integrate Radeon graphics, with the AI 7 345 using the Radeon 840M and the Embedded part using the Radeon 780M.

The core architectures differ substantially. The Ryzen AI 7 345 belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation, codenamed Krackan Point, built on the Zen 5 / Zen 5c hybrid core design. The Ryzen Embedded 8845HS is a Zen 4 part, codenamed Hawk Point, from the 8000 series. The AI 7 345 has no listed transistor count or die size, while the Embedded 8845HS records 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die.

Cache layouts diverge as well. The AI 7 345 uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a total of 4 MB of L3 cache. The Embedded 8845HS uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The L3 difference is significant: the Embedded part has four times the L3 capacity. ECC memory support also differs. The Embedded 8845HS supports ECC memory, while the AI 7 345 does not. Memory support shows the AI 7 345 accepts both DDR5 and LPDDR5X, whereas the Embedded part lists only DDR5.

The release dates place the Embedded 8845HS in April 2024, roughly nine months before the AI 7 345's January 2025 release. Both parts are listed as Active in production status, and neither has a launch MSRP in the database. Both have locked multipliers.

Where Each One Wins

Without benchmark scores for the Embedded 8845HS, the win analysis must derive from the recorded specification differences. The Ryzen Embedded 8845HS wins on core count, offering 8 cores and 16 threads against the AI 7 345's 6 cores and 12 threads. It also wins on clock speed, with a 3.80 GHz base and 5.10 GHz boost versus 2.00 GHz and 4.60 GHz. The Embedded part's 45 W TDP suggests it can sustain higher clocks under load, though this comes with higher power draw. The larger 16 MB L3 cache gives it an advantage in workloads that benefit from larger working sets residing on-chip. The extra PCIe lanes (20 versus 14) provide more headroom for expansion devices. ECC memory support makes it suitable for embedded applications requiring data integrity.

The Ryzen AI 7 345 wins on power efficiency, with a 28 W TDP versus 45 W. Its Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture represents a newer design generation than the Embedded part's Zen 4. The AI 7 345 also supports LPDDR5X memory, which the Embedded part does not list. Its 80 KB L1 per core exceeds the Embedded part's 64 KB per core, which can benefit single-threaded workloads that repeatedly access small data sets. The Radeon 840M integrated graphics may deliver different performance characteristics than the Radeon 780M, though no benchmark data exists to quantify the difference.

The benchmark percentile data reinforces the AI 7 345's competitive standing. At the 81st percentile among all CPUs, it outperforms the majority of processors in the database. The Embedded 8845HS sits at the 50th percentile, though this figure likely reflects the absence of benchmark data rather than measured performance.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear but incomplete picture. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 has extensive benchmark results, and those results place it in the 81st percentile among all CPUs. Its average score of 29461 sits within 0.7 percent of four rival processors from very different market segments, indicating balanced, competitive performance. The Intel Core i5-13500HX trails by 0.7 percent, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE leads by the same margin. This tight clustering suggests the AI 7 345 delivers performance consistent with established mid-range and high-end parts.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has no benchmark data, so its actual performance cannot be assessed from the database. What the data does show is a processor built for a different purpose. Its 8-core, 16-thread design, 5.10 GHz boost clock, 16 MB L3 cache, 20 PCIe lanes, and ECC support indicate a part optimized for embedded workloads where throughput, data integrity, and expansion capability matter more than power efficiency. The 45 W TDP confirms a higher power envelope than the AI 7 345's 28 W.

For users selecting between these two, the choice depends on the workload profile. The Ryzen AI 7 345 offers validated performance across a range of standard benchmarks, a newer Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture, LPDDR5X memory support, and lower power consumption. The Ryzen Embedded 8845HS offers more cores, higher clocks, more cache, ECC memory, and additional PCIe lanes, but no measured performance data exists to verify how these specifications translate into real-world results. The database records no head-to-head benchmarks between the two, and neither part has a launch MSRP listed.

Given the available information, the Ryzen AI 7 345 is the safer choice for general mobile computing, where its benchmark-verified performance and lower TDP provide known quantities. The Ryzen Embedded 8845HS is the appropriate pick for embedded system designs that require ECC support, extra PCIe connectivity, and maximum core count, accepting the higher power draw and the absence of recorded benchmark validation.
