AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 vs AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 and the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS are both 4 nm mobile processors on the AMD Socket FP8 platform, but they target different performance profiles. The Ryzen AI 7 445, a Zen 5 part from the Gorgon Point generation, delivers strong single-threaded performance and efficiency, while the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS, a Zen 4 Hawk Point part, offers more physical cores and a higher thermal ceiling. The recorded data shows the Ryzen AI 7 445 holds a 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs, whereas the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS sits at the 50th percentile, though the latter has no direct benchmark scores recorded in the database, making direct numerical comparisons limited to architecture and specifications.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains detailed benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, but no recorded benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS. Consequently, a direct head-to-head comparison of measured performance is not possible from the recorded data. The Ryzen AI 7 445 achieves an average benchmark score of 26936, which places it near the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (27051) and the Intel Core i9-9900K (27097), with the Ryzen AI 7 445 trailing those two by 0.4% and 0.6% respectively. Against the Intel Core i7-1370P (26900), the Ryzen AI 7 445 leads by 0.1%, and against the AMD Ryzen 5 7545U (26849), it leads by 0.3%.

In single-threaded workloads, the Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 1806 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 3591 in PassMark single-thread tests. These results indicate strong per-core performance from the Zen 5 architecture. The multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 10590 reflects the processor's 6-core and 12-thread configuration. The Cinebench R15 results show 1723 for multi-core and 254 for single-core. PassMark tests for the Ryzen AI 7 445 include integer math at 58332, floating point math at 39362, extended instructions at 15826, and data compression at 215812. Data encryption scores 10519, random string sorting scores 23488, and find prime numbers scores 56. Physics processing scores 976, and multithread performance scores 18115.

Since the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has no benchmark entries, the comparison relies on the percentile data. The Ryzen AI 7 445's 79th percentile ranking indicates it outperforms the majority of CPUs in the database, while the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS's 50th percentile places it at the median. The average benchmark score for the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS is recorded as 0, which reflects the absence of measurements rather than actual performance. The data confirms the Ryzen AI 7 445 is the only one of the two with verified performance metrics.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use different core architectures. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is built on Zen 5 and carries the codename Gorgon Point, belonging to the Ryzen AI 400 generation which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS uses Zen 4 architecture with the codename Hawk Point, part of the Ryzen Embedded 8000 series. Both are fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, but the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has a recorded transistor count of 25,000 million and a die size of 178 mm², while the Ryzen AI 7 445 has no recorded transistor or die size data.

The core configurations differ substantially. The Ryzen AI 7 445 has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has 8 cores and 16 threads. The Ryzen AI 7 445's cache structure includes 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 4 MB of L3 cache. The Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and a significantly larger 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger L3 cache on the Ryzen Embedded part provides more shared data capacity for multi-core workloads.

Clock speeds also differ. The Ryzen AI 7 445 has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The thermal design power differs as well: the Ryzen AI 7 445 is rated at 28 W, while the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS is rated at 45 W. The higher TDP of the Ryzen Embedded part supports its higher clock speeds and additional cores.

Memory support shows a minor difference. The Ryzen AI 7 445 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, while the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS supports DDR5 only. Both use a dual-channel memory bus and share the same memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both processors support ECC memory. The PCIe configurations differ: the Ryzen AI 7 445 provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics also differ. The Ryzen AI 7 445 includes the Radeon 840M, while the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS includes the Radeon 780M. The release dates are recorded as 2026-01-04 for the Ryzen AI 7 445 and 2024-04-01 for the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS. The Ryzen AI 7 445 has a part number of 100-000001935, while the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has no recorded part number. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The data shows the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is the better choice for users who prioritize single-threaded performance and efficiency. Its 79th percentile ranking and measured benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1806 and a PassMark single-thread score of 3591, confirm strong per-core capability. The 28 W TDP makes it suitable for thermally constrained mobile designs. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS, with its 8 cores, 16 threads, 16 MB shared L3 cache, and 45 W TDP, offers a higher core count and larger cache capacity for parallel workloads, but the database contains no benchmark scores to quantify that advantage. The Ryzen AI 7 445 also supports LPDDR5X memory in addition to DDR5, while the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS supports DDR5 only. For applications requiring more PCIe lanes, the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS provides 20 lanes compared to 14 lanes on the Ryzen AI 7 445.
