AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-80-100 Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS has a complete benchmark profile, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-80-100 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. The AMD part sits at the 86th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 39,325. The Qualcomm part is listed at the 50th percentile with an average score of zero, which reflects the absence of test data rather than a measured performance level.

For any workload that relies on raw compute, the database only contains evidence for the AMD processor. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS delivers a measurable performance envelope across Cinebench and Passmark tests. The Snapdragon X1E-80-100 cannot be positioned in any benchmark comparison because no scores exist. The practical verdict from the data: the AMD chip is the only one with verified performance metrics, and it is a strong mobile processor by the numbers on record. The Qualcomm part is a 12-core design with a distinct feature set, but the database lacks any evidence of how it executes workloads.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge in nearly every architectural parameter except process node and foundry. Both are built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the codename Hawk Point, belonging to the 8000 series and classified as Ryzen 7 (Zen 4 (Hawk Point)). The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-80-100 uses the Oryon codename and belongs to the Snapdragon X (Elite) generation.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD chip has 8 cores and 16 threads, indicating simultaneous multithreading. The Qualcomm part has 12 cores and 12 threads, meaning no multithreading per core. The AMD base clock is 3.80 GHz with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Qualcomm base clock is 3.40 GHz with a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. The AMD part draws a 45 W TDP, while the Qualcomm part draws 35 W.

Cache hierarchies are entirely different. The AMD chip uses 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. The Qualcomm chip uses 288 KB L1 per core, 12 MB L2 per module, and 6 MB shared L3. The AMD design has a large shared L3 pool; the Qualcomm design has a much larger per-core L1 allocation and a per-module L2 structure.

Memory support differs. The AMD chip supports DDR5 with dual-channel memory and a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. It also supports ECC memory. The Qualcomm chip supports LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and a higher bandwidth of 135.2 GB/s, but no ECC support. PCIe lanes differ as well: the AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while the Qualcomm chip provides Gen 4 with 12 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics differ. The AMD chip uses the Radeon 780M. The Qualcomm chip uses the Adreno X1-85. Transistor count and die size are recorded for the AMD chip (25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die) but are not listed for the Qualcomm chip. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP7, while the Qualcomm chip uses Qualcomm BGA 2073.

Both are mobile market segments, both are active production parts, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. Release dates are close: the AMD chip launched on April 15, 2024, and the Qualcomm chip on April 23, 2024. No launch MSRP is recorded for either.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database lists no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-80-100 has an empty benchmark array. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS has 17 recorded benchmark scores. Without any Qualcomm scores, no direct wins can be assigned to either side. The wins counter shows 0 for both parts.

The AMD scores, though, provide a full picture of its performance. In Cinebench R15, the AMD chip scores 2,476 in multicore and 349 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 10,317 multicore and 1,456 single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 24,565 multicore and 3,468 single-core.

Passmark tests add more detail. The AMD chip scores 343,952 in data compression and 20,487 in data encryption. Extended instructions score 25,434. Find prime numbers scores 87, which is a low absolute number but reflects the nature of that specific test. Floating point math scores 58,965. Integer math scores 97,625. Multithread score is 28,572. Physics score is 1,389. Random string sorting scores 41,867. Single thread score is 3,762, and the database also lists a singlethread entry with the identical value of 3,762.

The nearest rivals in the database for the AMD chip are all other processors. The AMD EPYC 4245P has an average score of 39,215 with a delta of +0.3% relative to the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 has an average score of 39,485 with a delta of -0.4%. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS has an average score of 39,603 with a delta of -0.7%. The Intel Core i7-13700F has an average score of 39,009 with a delta of +0.8%. These deltas are all within one percent, meaning the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS sits in a tightly packed performance cluster among its nearest rivals.

The Qualcomm chip has no nearest rivals listed and no average benchmark score. The percentile data confirms the gap: the AMD chip is at the 86th percentile of all CPUs, while the Qualcomm chip is at the 50th percentile, which in this case reflects the absence of measurements rather than a midpoint performance result.

A: The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-80-100 has a memory bandwidth of 135.2 GB/s, which is higher than the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS at 89.6 GB/s. Both use a dual-channel memory bus, but the Qualcomm part supports LPDDR5X while the AMD part supports DDR5.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS wins in every category where the database contains measurable performance data. Its Cinebench scores show strong multicore throughput: 24,565 in R23 multicore and 10,317 in R20 multicore. Single-core performance is also recorded at 3,468 in R23 and 1,456 in R20. Passmark scores cover integer math at 97,625, floating point math at 58,965, and multithread at 28,572. Data compression at 343,952 and data encryption at 20,487 round out the compute picture.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-80-100 wins only in specifications that are not performance measurements. It has a higher core count at 12 versus 8. It has a higher memory bandwidth at 135.2 GB/s versus 89.6 GB/s. It has a larger L1 cache per core at 288 KB versus 64 KB, and a larger L2 allocation at 12 MB per module versus 1 MB per core. It has a lower TDP at 35 W versus 45 W, which may indicate lower power draw under load, though the database does not include any power measurements. It also has 12 PCIe lanes versus 20 on the AMD side, which is a specification difference but not a performance advantage.

For single-threaded responsiveness, the AMD chip has a higher boost clock at 5.10 GHz versus 4.00 GHz, and its Passmark single thread score is 3,762. For multithreaded workloads, the AMD chip has 16 threads versus 12, and its Cinebench multicore scores are on record. The Qualcomm chip has no scores to contradict or confirm any expectation based on its core count.

For memory-sensitive tasks, the Qualcomm part has a bandwidth advantage on paper. The database records 135.2 GB/s for the Qualcomm chip versus 89.6 GB/s for the AMD chip. However, without any benchmark scores for the Qualcomm part, there is no measured evidence of how that bandwidth translates into application performance.

For ECC memory support, the AMD chip is the only choice between the two. The database lists ECC support as true for the AMD part and false for the Qualcomm part.

For integrated graphics, the AMD chip uses the Radeon 780M, while the Qualcomm chip uses the Adreno X1-85. The database records no graphics benchmarks for either part, so no performance comparison is possible.

For production status, both are active. For release timing, the AMD chip launched on April 15, 2024, and the Qualcomm chip on April 23, 2024, a difference of eight days.

The practical split in use cases follows from the data. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS is the processor with verified compute results across rendering, encryption, compression, and math workloads. It also supports ECC memory, which matters for data integrity in professional contexts. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-80-100 is a higher-core-count, higher-memory-bandwidth design with a lower TDP, but the database contains no evidence of how those specifications perform in actual workloads. Any user selecting between these two based on the database must rely on the AMD chip for measured performance, while the Qualcomm chip remains unquantified in every benchmark category.
