AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither processor has a wins tally. This means any comparison must rely on the available benchmark scores for the AMD part and the absence of benchmark data for the Qualcomm part.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U has a full set of benchmark results across Cinebench and PassMark tests. In Cinebench R23, it scores 20254 in multi-core and 2859 in single-core. In R20, the scores are 8506 multi-core and 1200 single-core. In R15, the scores are 2041 multi-core and 288 single-core. PassMark results include 23850 for multithread, 3641 for single-thread, 88339 for integer math, 50746 for floating point math, 272664 for data compression, 16441 for data encryption, 19132 for extended instructions, 76 for find prime numbers, 1174 for physics, and 33109 for random string sorting.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 has no benchmark scores recorded in the database. Its average benchmark score is 0, and its percentile ranking among all CPUs is 50. The AMD part carries a percentile ranking of 83, which places it in the upper tier of all CPUs in the database.

Without benchmark results for the Qualcomm part, the data cannot show where one wins over the other in direct testing. The AMD part stands as the only processor with measurable performance data in this pairing. Its average benchmark score of 32233 compares closely with several Intel rivals: the Intel Core i9-11900 at 32226 with a 0 percent delta, the Intel Core i5-14400F at 32279 with a -0.1 percent delta, the Intel Core i7-12800H at 32121 with a 0.3 percent delta, and the Intel Core i5-14400 at 32115 with a 0.4 percent delta. These deltas are small, indicating the AMD part sits within a tight performance cluster around the 32,000 average score mark.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge substantially in architectural design. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Hawk Point codename, belonging to the 8000 series and the Ryzen 7 generation. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 uses the Oryon codename and belongs to the Snapdragon X Plus generation, also built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, though transistor count and die size are not recorded.

Core and thread configurations differ. The AMD part has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Qualcomm part has 8 cores and 8 threads. This means the AMD processor can handle twice as many threads simultaneously, which directly impacts multi-threaded workloads. Base clocks are 3.30 GHz for AMD and 3.00 GHz for Qualcomm, with the AMD part also listing a boost clock of 5.10 GHz while the Qualcomm boost clock is not recorded.

Cache hierarchies are structured differently. The AMD part uses 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Qualcomm part uses 288 KB of L1 cache per core, 12 MB of L2 cache per module, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD design offers more L3 cache overall at 16 MB versus 6 MB, while the Qualcomm L2 allocation of 12 MB per module represents a different cache distribution strategy.

Memory support also differs. The AMD processor supports DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth and includes ECC memory support. The Qualcomm processor supports LPDDR5X memory on a dual-channel bus with 135.2 GB/s bandwidth and does not support ECC memory. The Qualcomm memory bandwidth is higher at 135.2 GB/s versus 89.6 GB/s, which could benefit memory-intensive operations.

PCIe lane counts differ as well. The AMD part provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU, while the Qualcomm part provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics differ: the AMD part uses the Radeon 780M, while the Qualcomm part uses the Adreno X1-45.

Thermal design power is similar, with the AMD part rated at 28 watts and the Qualcomm part at 25 watts. The sockets are different: AMD Socket FP7 for the AMD part and Qualcomm BGA 2073 for the Qualcomm part. Both processors are marked as active in production status and target the mobile market segment. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part has part numbers 100-000001317 (FP7r2) and 100-000001377 (FP7), while the Qualcomm part uses X1P26100.

Where Each One Wins

The data supports clear conclusions for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U based on its recorded benchmarks. It holds an 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, which indicates it outperforms the majority of processors in the database. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 holds a 50th percentile ranking, placing it at the median of all CPUs, though this ranking exists without any recorded benchmark scores to substantiate it.

In multi-threaded workloads, the AMD part's 16 threads versus 8 threads gives it a structural advantage. Cinebench R23 multi-core at 20254 and PassMark multithread at 23850 demonstrate strong parallel performance. The AMD part also shows robust single-thread performance with Cinebench R23 single-core at 2859 and PassMark single-thread at 3641.

The Qualcomm part's only recorded advantages come from its memory bandwidth specification. At 135.2 GB/s, it exceeds the AMD part's 89.6 GB/s. This could favor workloads that rely heavily on memory throughput, though no benchmark data confirms this advantage in practice. The LPDDR5X memory support is a different memory type than the DDR5 used by the AMD part.

The Qualcomm part also has a lower thermal design power at 25 watts versus 28 watts, which may be relevant in constrained thermal environments. Its 12 MB L2 cache per module represents a different cache allocation that could benefit certain access patterns, though again, no benchmark data verifies this.

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an uneven comparison. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U has comprehensive benchmark coverage across multiple test suites, a 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, and an average benchmark score of 32233. Its nearest rivals in the database, the Intel Core i9-11900, Core i5-14400F, Core i7-12800H, and Core i5-14400, all score within a 0.4 percent delta of the AMD part, confirming its position in a competitive performance tier.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-26-100 has no benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking. The absence of recorded performance data means the database cannot substantiate any performance claims for this processor. Users seeking measured performance should look to the AMD part, which has verifiable results across all recorded tests.

The AMD processor offers more threads, a higher base clock, a recorded boost clock, more L3 cache, ECC support, and more PCIe lanes. The Qualcomm processor offers higher memory bandwidth and a lower thermal design power. For workloads where measured benchmark performance matters, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U is the only option with supporting data. For workloads where memory bandwidth specifications are the primary concern, the Qualcomm part lists a higher figure, but no benchmark results confirm its real-world impact.
