AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 occupy distinct positions in the mobile processor landscape. The AMD part is an established, fully measured processor with a rich benchmark profile, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 enters the database with a newer architecture and no recorded benchmark scores yet. This asymmetry shapes the analysis: the AMD chip has 17 individual benchmark results across Cinebench and Passmark suites, whereas the Qualcomm part currently has zero recorded measurements.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS wins in every category where data exists, simply because it is the only one of the two with recorded performance metrics. Its percentile ranking against all CPUs stands at 86, placing it in the upper tier of the database. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 sits at the 50th percentile, though this figure is based on its hardware characteristics rather than measured performance, as its average benchmark score is recorded as zero.

For workload segmentation, the AMD chip shows particular strength in multi-threaded rendering tasks. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 24565 and Cinebench R20 multicore score of 10317 indicate substantial parallel processing capability. The Passmark multithread score of 28572 and integer math score of 97625 reinforce this pattern, suggesting the processor handles compute-heavy workloads with ease. The floating point math score of 58965 and extended instructions score of 25434 further demonstrate its arithmetic throughput.

Single-thread performance on the AMD side is also robust. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3468 and Passmark single-thread score of 3762 show that the Zen 4 architecture delivers strong per-core performance. The data compression score of 343952 and random string sorting score of 41867 indicate efficient memory and data manipulation operations. The data encryption score of 20487 and find prime numbers score of 87 round out its Passmark profile.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 has no wins to claim in the current database. Its architecture is designed for efficiency with a 35 TDP versus the AMD's 45 TDP, and it offers higher memory bandwidth at 135.2 GB/s compared to the AMD's 89.6 GB/s. These are hardware specifications, not performance measurements, so the database cannot yet attribute any benchmark victories to the Qualcomm part.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, fabricated on TSMC's 4 nm process. It integrates 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 uses the Oryon codename under the Snapdragon X (Plus) generation, also fabricated on TSMC's 4 nm process, though its transistor count and die size are not recorded in the database.

Core configurations differ significantly. The AMD chip has 8 cores and 16 threads, enabling simultaneous multithreading. The Qualcomm part has 10 cores and 10 threads, meaning no multithreading per core. This structural difference suggests the AMD processor can extract more parallelism from threaded workloads, while the Qualcomm design prioritizes raw core count with simpler scheduling.

Clock speeds tell a similar story. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, giving it a wide frequency range for bursty single-thread tasks. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 has a base clock of 3.40 GHz with no recorded boost clock, indicating a more conservative frequency envelope likely tuned for power efficiency.

Cache hierarchies differ markedly. The AMD processor uses 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. The Qualcomm part uses 288 KB L1 per core, 12 MB L2 per module, and 6 MB shared L3. The Qualcomm's larger per-core L1 and per-module L2 suggest a design optimized for local data access, while the AMD's larger shared L3 provides more capacity for cross-core data sharing.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD chip supports DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth and includes ECC memory support. The Qualcomm part supports LPDDR5X memory on a dual-channel bus with 135.2 GB/s bandwidth, a 51% advantage in theoretical memory throughput, but lacks ECC support. The Qualcomm's higher memory bandwidth could benefit memory-bound workloads, though no benchmark data confirms this.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The AMD processor offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU, while the Qualcomm part offers Gen 4 with 12 lanes. This gives the AMD chip more headroom for discrete GPUs, NVMe storage, and other expansion devices. The Qualcomm's fewer lanes suggest a more integrated, compact system design.

Integrated graphics present another distinction. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS pairs with Radeon 780M graphics, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 uses Adreno X1-85. Both are mobile-oriented iGPUs, though the database records no graphics benchmarks for either processor.

The Qualcomm part uses a Qualcomm BGA 2073 socket, while the AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP7. Both are mobile sockets, but they are incompatible with each other, meaning system designs must commit to one platform or the other.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table in the database is empty, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 has no recorded scores. This means the comparison must rely on the AMD processor's absolute scores and its position relative to other CPUs in the database.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS achieves an average benchmark score of 39325, placing it at the 86th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD EPYC 4245P with an average score of 39215 (a 0.3% delta), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 with 39485 (-0.4% delta), the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS with 39603 (-0.7% delta), and the Intel Core i7-13700F with 39009 (0.8% delta). These deltas are all within 1%, indicating the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS sits in a tightly contested performance band.

In multi-threaded rendering, the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 24565 positions the AMD chip competitively against desktop-class rivals like the Intel Core i7-13700F, which has a lower average benchmark score by 0.8%. The Cinebench R20 multicore score of 10317 and R15 multicore score of 2476 reinforce this multi-thread capability.

Single-thread performance is equally notable. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3468, R20 single-core score of 1456, and R15 single-core score of 349 show consistent per-core strength. The Passmark single-thread score of 3762 (recorded twice in the database, once as single_thread and once as singlethread) confirms this finding.

The Passmark suite adds detail. The data compression score of 343952 is the highest individual score in the AMD profile, indicating very strong memory and cache throughput for compression workloads. The random string sorting score of 41867 and integer math score of 97625 further demonstrate computational efficiency. The floating point math score of 58965 and extended instructions score of 25434 show balanced arithmetic capability across different instruction types.

The find prime numbers score of 87 and physics score of 1389 are the lowest in the AMD profile, suggesting that certain algorithmic patterns, such as prime number sieving, do not benefit as much from the architecture as other workloads. These lower scores do not detract from the overall picture, which shows a processor comfortably in the upper quartile of the database.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 has no scores to compare directly. Its 50th percentile ranking and zero average benchmark score mean the database cannot validate its real-world performance. Its hardware specifications, including 10 cores, 135.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 35 W TDP, suggest an efficiency-oriented design, but without measurements, no head-to-head conclusion can be drawn.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear recommendation for users who need measured, verified performance today. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS delivers a comprehensive benchmark profile with strong multi-thread and single-thread scores, a top-quartile percentile ranking, and competitive positioning against desktop-class rivals. Its 8 cores and 16 threads, boost clock of 5.10 GHz, and 16 MB shared L3 cache make it a versatile choice for rendering, computation, and general productivity workloads.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 offers no recorded benchmark data, so the database cannot substantiate any performance claims for it. Its hardware specifications, such as 10 cores, 135.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 35 W TDP, indicate a design focused on efficiency and memory throughput, but these are not performance measurements. Users choosing this processor would be doing so based on its architecture and power profile rather than verified results.

For system designers who need a mobile processor with proven multi-threaded and single-threaded performance, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS is the only option with empirical support in the database. Its 86th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 39325 place it among capable desktop and mobile processors. The Qualcomm part, by contrast, remains an unverified entry at the 50th percentile, making it a speculative choice until benchmark data becomes available.

The AMD chip also offers ECC memory support, 20 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, and a 5.10 GHz boost clock, all of which are concrete features that benefit workstation and professional mobile use cases. The Qualcomm part counters with higher memory bandwidth and a lower TDP, but these advantages are theoretical without performance confirmation.
