AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-78-100 Comparison

AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-78-100

The database records a clear asymmetry in benchmark coverage for these two mobile processors. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS has a comprehensive set of recorded benchmark scores, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-78-100 currently has no entries in the head-to-head benchmark table. This means any direct comparison must rely on the architectural specifications and the recorded performance data for the AMD part, with the Qualcomm chip evaluated based on its design parameters alone.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS dominates the measurable performance landscape because it is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark results. Its scores span Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, plus a full Passmark suite. The data shows a processor built for sustained multi-threaded workloads, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 24,565 and a single-core score of 3,468. Passmark results reinforce this profile, with an integer math score of 97,625, a floating point score of 58,965, and a multithread score of 28,572.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-78-100, with its 12 cores and 12 threads, has no recorded benchmark scores. Its case rests entirely on specifications. It offers a wider core count than the AMD chip, which suggests potential in heavily parallel tasks, but the lack of data means the database cannot confirm any win. The 135.2 GB/s memory bandwidth is higher than the AMD part's 89.6 GB/s, which could favor memory-intensive operations, but again, no measured results support this.

The AMD chip also records a 86th percentile rank against all CPUs, a figure derived from its average benchmark score of 39,325. The Qualcomm part sits at the 50th percentile with an average score of zero, a placeholder that reflects the absence of data. In practical terms, the AMD processor is the only one of the two with demonstrated wins in the database.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in architecture. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It packs 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-78-100 uses the Oryon codename under the Snapdragon X Elite generation, also on a 4 nm TSMC process, but with 12 cores and 12 threads. Its base clock is 3.40 GHz, and the database lists no boost clock for it.

Cache layouts differ substantially. The AMD chip has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Qualcomm part uses 288 KB of L1 per core, 12 MB of L2 per module, and 6 MB of shared L3. The AMD design is a conventional x86 arrangement, while the Qualcomm layout reflects its ARM-based Oryon cores, which group L2 cache by module rather than per core.

Memory support also separates them. The AMD processor uses DDR5 over a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth and supports ECC memory. The Qualcomm chip uses LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus with 135.2 GB/s bandwidth and lacks ECC support. PCIe capabilities differ as well: the AMD part offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Qualcomm part offers Gen 4 with 12 lanes. The AMD chip integrates a Radeon 780M GPU, whereas the Qualcomm chip integrates an Adreno X1-85. The AMD processor draws a 45 W TDP, the Qualcomm part a 35 W TDP.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS as the processor with measurable performance. Its benchmark scores, from Cinebench R23 multicore at 24,565 to Passmark integer math at 97,625, place it in the 86th percentile of all CPUs. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-78-100 cannot be evaluated on performance because the database holds no benchmark results for it. Its 50th percentile rank and zero average score are placeholders, not verdicts.

For workloads that rely on the AMD chip's recorded strengths, such as multi-threaded rendering or encryption, the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS is the only choice with data support. Its 16 threads and 5.10 GHz boost clock give it a clear edge in the Cinebench and Passmark tests that are on file. The Qualcomm part has a higher core count and memory bandwidth, but without scores, those specs do not translate into confirmed wins. A builder choosing between these two should treat the AMD processor as the one with proven results, and the Qualcomm part as an unverified option.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

There are no recorded head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-78-100. The database's head-to-head table is empty, and the wins counter shows zero for both processors. This absence means the AMD chip's scores stand alone, without a direct rival measurement to compare against.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS's strongest recorded results are in multi-threaded workloads. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 24,565 is a peak figure, and the R20 multicore score of 10,317 and R15 multicore score of 2,476 follow the same trend. Single-core performance is also recorded, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 3,468, R20 at 1,456, and R15 at 349. Passmark results show a similar pattern, with the multithread score of 28,572 and the physics score of 1,389. The data also includes a data compression score of 343,952 and a data encryption score of 20,487, both of which indicate strong throughput in those specific tasks.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-78-100 has no benchmark entries, so there are no wins to walk through for it. Its 12 cores and 135.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are the only metrics that could suggest potential, but the database does not confirm any performance outcome. The AMD chip's 86th percentile rank, derived from its average score of 39,325, stands in contrast to the Qualcomm part's 50th percentile rank with a zero average score.
