# AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS + Intel Arc A350M: A Balanced Mobile Duo

This pairing combines AMD's 8-core Zen 4 mobile processor with Intel's entry-level Arc 3 discrete GPU in a laptop configuration. The CPU sits at the 84th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU lands at the 70th percentile among all GPUs, yielding a combined percentile of 77. No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination in the FACT PACK, so all frame-rate discussions are estimates derived from benchmark scores rather than direct gaming measurements.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data reveals a system where the CPU significantly outpaces the GPU in relative performance hierarchy. The Ryzen 7 8840HS achieves an average benchmark score of 33667, placing it at the 84th percentile of all CPUs. In contrast, the Arc A350M's average score of 24647 puts it at the 70th percentile of all GPUs. This 14-percentile gap indicates that in graphics-intensive workloads, the GPU will be the limiting factor, while in CPU-bound tasks such as data compression or encryption, the processor can stretch its legs.

Bottleneck analysis from the benchmark scores shows the CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 3626 and multi-thread score of 24990 demonstrate strong headroom for feeding the GPU. The GPU's FP32 compute of 3.379 TFLOPS and texture rate of 105.6 GTexel/s suggest that in gaming scenarios, frame rates will be constrained by the graphics processor rather than the CPU. For productivity workloads like video encoding or 3D rendering, the balance shifts: the CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13082 will drive those tasks, while the GPU's compute capabilities play a supporting role.

The memory bandwidth figures further inform this balance. The CPU supports dual-channel DDR5 with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, while the GPU has 112.0 GB/s of dedicated GDDR6 bandwidth over a 64-bit bus. In integrated scenarios where the CPU's Radeon 780M iGPU is used, the shared memory bandwidth becomes a constraint; with the discrete Arc A350M active, the dedicated GPU memory alleviates that pressure but the 4 GB capacity becomes the ceiling for texture-heavy workloads.

GPU Analysis

The Intel Arc A350M is built on the Xe-HPG architecture using TSMC's 6 nm process with 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die. It operates with a base clock of 1150 MHz and a boost clock of 2200 MHz, paired with 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 64-bit bus delivering 112.0 GB/s bandwidth. The GPU contains 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 ROPs, along with 6 ray tracing cores. Its FP32 throughput is 3.379 TFLOPS, with FP16 reaching 6.758 TFLOPS via a 2:1 ratio.

The pixel rate of 52.80 GPixel/s and texture rate of 105.6 GTexel/s indicate modest fill rates consistent with an entry-level discrete mobile GPU. In synthetic benchmarks, the A350M scores 24546 in Geekbench OpenCL and 24747 in Geekbench Vulkan. Its average benchmark score of 24647 places it at the 70th percentile of all GPUs. Comparing to nearest rivals, it trails the AMD Radeon RX 590 by 0.4%, sits 0.5% behind the NVIDIA RTX A5000 Mobile, leads the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT by 0.8%, and is 1.5% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630.

The 4 GB VRAM capacity will constrain high-resolution texture packs and large scene complexity. The 64-bit memory bus limits bandwidth to 112.0 GB/s, which is sufficient for 1080p gaming but will bottleneck at higher resolutions or with anti-aliasing enabled. The 6 ray tracing cores provide hardware-accelerated ray tracing, though the modest FP32 throughput means ray-traced effects will require significant compromises in resolution or quality settings. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, ensuring compatibility with modern titles.

The Ryzen 7 8840HS delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13082 and single-core score of 1737. In Geekbench, it achieves 10104 multi-core and 1899 single-core. PassMark results show a multi-thread score of 24990, single-thread of 3626, and an average benchmark score of 33667. This places the CPU at the 84th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 7645HX with an average score of 33668 (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT at 33736 (-0.2%), the AMD Ryzen 5 240 at 33542 (+0.4%), and the Intel Core Ultra 7 255H at 33537 (+0.4%).

The Arc A350M's Geekbench OpenCL score of 24546 and Vulkan score of 24747 produce an average benchmark score of 24647, placing it at the 70th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the AMD Radeon RX 590 at 24744 (-0.4%), NVIDIA RTX A5000 Mobile at 24763 (-0.5%), AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT at 24442 (+0.8%), and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630 at 24277 (+1.5%).

The combined picture shows a CPU that outperforms its direct competitors in the 8000-series mobile segment, while the GPU sits in the mid-range of the performance distribution. The combined percentile of 77 reflects a system that is stronger in processor-bound tasks than in graphics-heavy workloads. The CPU's PassMark data compression score of 292888 and encryption score of 17650 indicate strong throughput for data-centric tasks, while the GPU's compute scores suggest capable but not exceptional rendering performance.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The Ryzen 7 8840HS uses the AMD Socket FP8 with PCIe Gen 4 support providing 20 CPU lanes. Memory support is dual-channel DDR5 with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth and no ECC support. The CPU integrates a Radeon 780M iGPU, which provides a fallback display output when the discrete GPU is idle or for power-saving modes. The GPU connects via PCIe 4.0 x8 interface.

The GPU has a TDP of 25 W, while the CPU has a TDP of 28 W, giving a combined thermal envelope of approximately 53 W for the compute components. No suggested PSU is listed for the GPU, as this is an IGP slot-width component designed for laptops where power delivery is integrated into the system board. The CPU's 4 nm process node from TSMC with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die indicates efficient power characteristics.

For upgrades, the socket FP8 platform supports the 8000 series Ryzen mobile processors, so a user could theoretically swap to a higher-tier 8000 series chip if the laptop's cooling and power delivery allow. However, the mobile form factor typically limits GPU upgrades since the Arc A350M is soldered or otherwise integrated. The PCIe 4.0 x8 interface for the GPU means any future external GPU solution would be limited to that bandwidth. The 4 GB VRAM is the most likely upgrade bottleneck, but in a laptop this is fixed at purchase time.
