AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS and Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-46-100 represent two very different approaches to mobile processing, and the benchmark data reflects that divide. The most immediate observation is that the AMD processor has a fully populated benchmark record across multiple test suites, while the Snapdragon X1P-46-100 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This absence of data for the Qualcomm part means the comparison is necessarily one-sided in terms of raw numbers.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 24565 and a single-core score of 3468. In Cinebench R20, it scores 10317 multi-core and 1456 single-core. The older R15 test shows 2476 multi-core and 349 single-core. These numbers place the processor at the 86th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 39225. The nearest rivals confirm this positioning: the AMD EPYC 4245P sits at 39215 (only 0.3% behind), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 is at 39485 (0.4% ahead), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS is at 39603 (0.7% ahead). The Intel Core i7-13700F trails at 39009, which is 0.8% behind.

The PassMark suite further illustrates the AMD processor's capabilities. Multi-thread performance registers 28572, while single-thread performance comes in at 3762. Integer math scores 97625, floating point math scores 58965, and extended instructions score 25434. Data compression reaches 343952, data encryption hits 20487, and random string sorting completes at 41867. Physics processing scores 1389, and prime number finding scores 87. The average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 39325.

For the Snapdragon X1P-46-100, the database contains no benchmark entries. Its percentile ranking is 50, which is the median position, but this is based on the absence of recorded performance data rather than measured results. The average benchmark score is listed as 0. Without recorded scores, the head-to-head comparison cannot proceed on equal terms.

The data shows that the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS is a well-documented performer with strong multi-threaded and single-threaded results. The Snapdragon X1P-46-100, while active in production and released later, has no benchmark presence in the database to compare directly.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS wins in every measurable category by default, since it is the only one of the two with recorded benchmarks. The processor's 8 cores and 16 threads give it a clear structural advantage in multi-threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 24565 indicates strong sustained performance for tasks that scale across cores. The single-core score of 3468 shows that lightly threaded workloads also benefit from the 5.10 GHz boost clock.

The Snapdragon X1P-46-100 has 8 cores and 8 threads, which means no simultaneous multi-threading support. Its boost clock of 4.00 GHz is lower than the AMD part's 5.10 GHz. The base clock is 3.40 GHz compared to 3.80 GHz for the AMD processor. These specifications suggest the Qualcomm part would likely trail in CPU-bound tasks, but without benchmark data, this remains speculative.

The AMD processor's 45 W TDP versus the Snapdragon's 30 W TDP indicates different design targets. The higher TDP allows the AMD part to sustain higher clock speeds and potentially higher performance under load. The Snapdragon's lower TDP suggests a focus on power efficiency, which may favor longer battery life in mobile devices, though the database does not include power consumption measurements.

In terms of memory bandwidth, the Snapdragon X1P-46-100 has a notable advantage on paper. Its 135.2 GB/s memory bandwidth exceeds the AMD part's 89.6 GB/s. This could benefit memory-intensive workloads, but again, no benchmark results exist to confirm real-world impact.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the codename Hawk Point. It belongs to the 8000 series and the Ryzen 7 generation. The process node is 4 nm, fabricated by TSMC. The die contains 25,000 million transistors across a 178 mm² die. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache.

The Snapdragon X1P-46-100 uses the Oryon codename under the Snapdragon X (Plus) generation. It is also built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The cache layout is notably different: 288 KB of L1 per core, 12 MB of L2 per module, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The L2 cache in the Qualcomm part is organized per module rather than per core, which reflects a different design philosophy. The L1 cache per core is significantly larger than the AMD part's.

The AMD processor supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus with ECC support enabled. The Snapdragon supports LPDDR5X memory, also dual-channel, but does not support ECC. The memory bandwidth difference is substantial: 135.2 GB/s for the Qualcomm part versus 89.6 GB/s for the AMD part.

PCI Express connectivity also differs. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU, while the Snapdragon provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes. Both use Gen 4, but the AMD part has more lanes available for expansion devices.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS includes the Radeon 780M, while the Snapdragon X1P-46-100 includes the Adreno X1-45. The database does not include graphics benchmarks for either part, so comparison is limited to naming.

The sockets are different: AMD Socket FP7 for the Ryzen part, Qualcomm BGA 2073 for the Snapdragon. Neither processor is multiplier unlocked, so overclocking is not supported on either platform. The AMD part has two part numbers listed (100-000001316 for FP7r2 and 100-000001387 for FP7), while the Snapdragon has a single part number, X1P46100.
