# AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX + NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 Mobile

This laptop pairing combines a high-end 8-core AMD Dragon Range processor with an end-of-life NVIDIA Turing professional GPU, creating a stark performance mismatch. The CPU ranks in the 92nd percentile among all processors, while the GPU sits at just the 7th percentile among all graphics cards, making this a system where the processor vastly outperforms the graphics solution in every measurable way.

CPU Analysis

The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX is an 8-core, 16-thread mobile processor built on the Zen 4 architecture and codenamed Dragon Range. It operates with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boosts up to 5.10 GHz, with a 55 W TDP that positions it as a power-efficient yet capable mobile chip. The CPU is manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process node, containing 6,570 million transistors within a 71 mm² die size. This is a 2025 release, part of the 8000 series, and remains in active production.

The cache hierarchy is substantial: 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support includes dual-channel DDR5 with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, though ECC memory is not supported. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 28 lanes, and includes integrated Radeon 610M graphics as a fallback. The multiplier is unlocked, and the part number is 100-000001851, with the socket being AMD Socket FL1.

Benchmark data shows this CPU excelling across varied workloads. The PassMark multithread score of 31,517 indicates strong parallel processing capability, while the single-thread score of 3,879 confirms excellent per-core performance. The integer math score of 100,328 and floating-point math score of 61,972 both point to robust compute throughput for general-purpose tasks. Data compression scores 363,759, while encryption scores 21,840 — the former being particularly impressive for archival or database workloads. Extended instruction scores reach 27,638, and random string sorting hits 44,494. The physics score of 1,681 and prime number finding at 159 complete the picture of a processor that handles all categories competently.

The average benchmark score of 60,104 places the Ryzen 7 8745HX in the 92nd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals show remarkable parity: the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX scores 60,099 with a 0% delta, the Intel Core i9-14900F scores 60,008 with a 0.2% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D scores 59,641 with a 0.8% delta. The Intel Xeon Gold 6338T trails slightly at 60,572 with a -0.8% delta. This means the 8745HX is essentially performance-equivalent to much higher-tier desktop processors, which is extraordinary for a mobile chip. For real workloads, this translates to seamless multitasking, fast compilation, rapid data processing, and smooth operation in threaded applications like video rendering or scientific computing.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX uses the AMD Socket FL1, which is specific to the Dragon Range mobile platform. Memory support is dual-channel DDR5 with a theoretical bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and the CPU provides 28 PCIe Gen 5 lanes. Since this is a laptop build class, the upgrade path is severely limited compared to desktop systems — users cannot swap the CPU or GPU independently in most implementations.

The CPU's 55 W TDP is modest for an 8-core part, suggesting that cooling solutions in laptops with this chip must handle the thermal load efficiently but not extraordinarily. The GPU, however, has an 80 W TDP, and there is no suggested PSU listed for this mobile configuration. Power delivery in a laptop chassis is handled by the internal power supply and battery, so external PSU headroom is not a meaningful consideration here.

A sensible next upgrade for this platform would focus on memory capacity and speed, since DDR5 support is already present and the dual-channel configuration can be maximized. Storage upgrades via PCIe Gen 5 lanes would also be feasible. However, the GPU being an end-of-life MXM module with a 2019 release date means that replacing it with a newer graphics solution would require a full motherboard or system replacement, not a simple component swap. The platform is effectively at its ceiling with this pairing, and any significant performance improvement would necessitate purchasing an entirely new laptop.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmark data reveals a dramatic split between CPU and GPU performance. The CPU's average benchmark score of 60,104 places it in the 92nd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU's average benchmark score of 1,285 places it in just the 7th percentile of all GPUs. The combined percentile for this pairing is 50, which reflects the GPU dragging down the overall system standing.

The GPU has only one benchmark result listed: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1,285. Its nearest rivals are all older or entry-level parts. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 scores 1,281 with a 0.3% delta, the AMD Radeon R9 380 scores 1,293 with a -0.6% delta, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 scores 1,267 with a 1.4% delta, and the NVIDIA NVS 4200M scores 1,267 with a 1.4% delta. This means the Quadro RTX 3000 Mobile is performance-comparable to graphics cards from over a decade ago, despite being from the Turing generation.

The CPU, in contrast, rivals top-tier desktop processors. The Ryzen 9 7945HX and Intel Core i9-14900F are within 0.2% of its average score, and the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D is 0.8% behind. The Intel Xeon Gold 6338T, a server chip, is 0.8% ahead. This level of CPU performance in a laptop is unprecedented relative to the GPU. The combined picture is a system with extraordinary compute capability for CPU-bound tasks but minimal graphics horsepower, making it ill-suited for gaming or GPU-accelerated rendering.

Balance and Bottleneck

The balance between the CPU and GPU in this system is severely skewed. The CPU's 92nd percentile ranking versus the GPU's 7th percentile creates an unavoidable bottleneck: the GPU will limit virtually any graphics-intensive workload, while the CPU will sit largely idle waiting for the GPU to catch up.

In gaming scenarios, the Quadro RTX 3000 Mobile would be the limiting factor at any resolution. The CPU could theoretically feed far more frames than the GPU can render, meaning frame rates will be dictated entirely by the graphics card. For productivity workloads like video editing or 3D rendering that use GPU acceleration, the same bottleneck applies — the GPU's low compute throughput will cap performance. However, for CPU-bound tasks like software compilation, data processing, or spreadsheet manipulation, the CPU will deliver top-tier performance without any GPU interference.

The FPS scaling evidence is absent because no measured FPS data exists for this combination. Based on the benchmark scores, however, the bottleneck is unambiguous. The GPU's 1,285 Steel Nomad score indicates it can handle only the most basic graphical workloads, while the CPU's 60,104 average score suggests it can handle anything thrown at it. This system is fundamentally unbalanced, with the CPU being the star performer and the GPU being a peripheral afterthought.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 Mobile is a professional mobile GPU based on the Turing architecture, with the TU106 chip manufactured on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It contains 10,800 million transistors on a 445 mm² die, with a transistor density of 24.3 million per mm². The GPU has 1,920 shading units, 120 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. It features 30 RT cores and 240 tensor cores, providing hardware acceleration for ray tracing and AI workloads respectively.

Memory consists of 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 336.0 GB/s. The memory clock is 1750 MHz, translating to 14 Gbps effective. The base clock is 945 MHz with a boost clock of 1380 MHz. Pixel rate reaches 88.32 GPixel/s, texture rate is 165.6 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance is 5.299 TFLOPS. FP16 performance doubles to 10.60 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. The GPU has an 80 W TDP and is an MXM module with no power connectors, relying on the laptop's internal power delivery.

The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, making it API-compliant with modern standards. Display outputs are portable device dependent, meaning they vary by laptop manufacturer. The GPU's production status is end-of-life, having been released in May 2019, with the Quadro Pascal-M as its predecessor and Ampere-MW as its successor.

The benchmark results are sobering. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1,285 places this GPU at the 7th percentile of all GPUs, putting it in the company of the GeForce GT 610 and GT 520, both ancient entry-level cards. This means that despite having RT and tensor cores, the raw rendering performance is so low that those features are largely academic. For rendering workloads, the 5.299 TFLOPS FP32 performance is insufficient for modern 3D applications, and the 6 GB VRAM, while adequate for basic tasks, will quickly become a limitation in professional workflows that require larger frame buffers.

Who Should Build It

This pairing is unsuitable for gamers at any resolution. The Quadro RTX 3000 Mobile's 7th percentile ranking means it cannot deliver playable frame rates in modern titles even at 1080p, and the CPU's power is wasted in gaming scenarios where the GPU is the bottleneck. Content creators working with GPU-accelerated software will also be disappointed, as the GPU's low compute throughput will hinder rendering, video encoding, and effects processing.

The target audience is narrow and specific. Developers writing CPU-intensive code will benefit from the Ryzen 7 8745HX's 92nd percentile performance, which excels at compilation, unit testing, and running multiple virtual machines. Students in computer science or engineering fields who need a powerful CPU for computation but do not require significant graphics capability would find this system adequate. Small business workstations handling data analysis, database management, or spreadsheet-heavy workflows would also see strong CPU performance.

The integrated Radeon 610M graphics could handle basic display output, but the Quadro RTX 3000 Mobile is present nonetheless. For professional work that requires certified graphics drivers — such as CAD or certain engineering software — the Quadro branding provides that certification even if performance is modest. However, the end-of-life status of the GPU and its 2019 release date mean that software support will eventually wane, making this a questionable long-term investment for professional use.

Build Overview

This is a laptop-class build (buildClass: laptop) pairing the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX with the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 Mobile. The CPU is an active-production, 2025-release 8-core Zen 4 part, while the GPU is a 2019-era, end-of-life Turing professional card. The combined percentile of 50 places this system in the middle of all benchmarked configurations, but that median ranking masks an extreme internal disparity.

Overall, this system is a CPU-first platform. The processor delivers desktop-class performance in a mobile form factor, effectively matching the Ryzen 9 7945HX and Intel Core i9-14900F in average benchmark scores. The GPU, however, is a legacy component that performs on par with decade-old entry-level graphics cards. The tier from the percentiles is clear: this is a workstation-oriented laptop for CPU-heavy tasks with GPU capability that is almost an afterthought.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS data exists for this exact combination — the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps entries. All gaming performance figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores.

Based on the GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1,285 and its 7th percentile ranking, gaming performance would be extremely poor. The Quadro RTX 3000 Mobile is comparable to the GeForce GT 610 and GT 520, both of which were entry-level cards from over a decade ago. At 1080p with ultra settings, modern games would likely struggle to maintain playable frame rates, and at higher resolutions like 1440p or 4K, performance would degrade further.

The CPU could easily handle any game's processing demands, given its 92nd percentile ranking and single-thread score of 3,879. However, the GPU would be the hard limit, capping FPS at levels well below what the CPU is capable of feeding. For esports titles with low graphical requirements, the system might achieve acceptable frame rates at lower settings, but for AAA games with modern graphics, this pairing would deliver a poor experience. The 6 GB VRAM would also be insufficient for high-resolution textures in current releases. In summary, this is not a gaming laptop, and any prospective buyer should treat the GPU's performance as a severe constraint in that regard.
