The AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX paired with the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 Mobile Refresh is a laptop-class configuration that pairs a high-end, current-generation CPU with a mid-range, older-generation mobile GPU. No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination in the FACT PACK; all frame-rate discussion below is therefore estimated from the CPU and GPU benchmark scores and percentile positions, not from direct gaming measurements.

CPU Analysis

The AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX is a 12-core, 24-thread processor built on the Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Dragon Range) using TSMC’s 5 nm process. It carries a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, with a 55 W TDP. The chip integrates a Radeon 610M GPU, supports dual-channel DDR5 memory at 83.2 GB/s, and exposes PCIe Gen 5 with 28 lanes from the CPU. The L3 cache is 64 MB shared, with 1 MB L2 and 64 KB L1 per core. The multiplier is unlocked, and the CPU is currently marked as Active in production.

Benchmark results put this CPU in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 25265 and single-core is 1857. PassMark scores include a multithread result of 41732, a single-thread score of 3958, integer math at 146506, floating-point math at 86747, data encryption at 29919, data compression at 496427, extended instructions at 36527, and random string sorting at 57971. The average benchmark score across all tests is 71797.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the 8840HX sits within a narrow band. It is 0.2% slower than the Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF (which averages 71910), and 0.6% faster than the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 (average 71370). It is also 0.8% slower than both the Intel Xeon 6517P (72350) and the Intel Xeon 6724P (72396). This places the 8840HX in a performance envelope where it trades blows with a high-end desktop Core Ultra chip and several Xeon server processors, despite being a mobile part.

For real workloads, the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 25265 indicates strong multi-threaded capability for rendering, video encoding, and heavy compile jobs. The single-core score of 1857 is respectable for a mobile chip and suggests good responsiveness in single-threaded tasks like spreadsheet updates or light code editing. The PassMark integer and floating point scores (146506 and 86747) point to balanced performance across both integer-heavy and floating-point-heavy code. Data compression and encryption scores (496427 and 29919) reflect good throughput for archival and security workloads. The low prime-number score of 304 is typical for a CPU that prioritizes integer throughput over specific prime-finding algorithms, but it is not a bottleneck for general use.

Balance and Bottleneck

The CPU is the dominant component of this pairing. With a CPU percentile of 94, the 8840HX outperforms the vast majority of all CPUs. The GPU, the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 Mobile Refresh, sits at the 50th percentile of all GPUs, and the combined percentile for the whole system is 72. That gap in percentile suggests the CPU will rarely be the limiting factor in most workloads; the GPU will constrain performance in graphics-heavy tasks.

The CPU’s high single-thread score (3958 in PassMark single-thread, 1857 in Cinebench R23 single-core) indicates it can feed the GPU with frames at high refresh rates. However, the GPU’s mid-pack percentile means that in gaming scenarios, the GPU will likely be the bottleneck, especially at higher resolutions or with heavier graphical effects. The CPU has ample headroom to drive even a stronger GPU, but the pairing as-is will be GPU-limited in most 3D applications.

The memory subsystem is also well-matched: the CPU supports dual-channel DDR5 at 83.2 GB/s, while the GPU uses GDDR6 at 448.0 GB/s. That bandwidth gap is typical for a discrete GPU, but the CPU’s memory bandwidth is sufficient for its core count. The GPU uses a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface, while the CPU provides PCIe Gen5 lanes; the older interface is not a bottleneck for the GPU’s performance because the GPU’s data demands are lower than the available PCIe 5.0 bandwidth.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 25265 and a single-core score of 1857. In PassMark, the multithread score is 41732 and single-thread is 3958. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 71797, placing it at the 92nd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF (average 71910, -0.2% delta), the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 (average 71370, +0.6%), the Intel Xeon 6517P (average 72350, -0.8%), and the Intel Xeon 6724P (average 72396, -0.8%). The 8840HX is essentially on par with these parts, with differences under 1%.

The GPU has no benchmark scores in the FACT PACK, but it is listed at the 50th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 0 (not yet measured). Its specifications are provided: 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, 3072 shading units, 48 RT cores, and 384 tensor cores. The GPU’s FP32 throughput is 9.400 TFLOPS and FP16 is 18.80 TFLOPS (2:1). The combined percentile for the CPU+GPU pair is 72, which is above the midpoint but below the CPU’s individual percentile, reflecting the GPU’s mid-pack performance.

No measured FPS data exists for this exact combination, so all frame-rate estimates must be derived from the CPU’s strong multi-core and single-core scores and the GPU’s mid-range specification. The CPU is clearly capable of high-FPS gaming in CPU-bound scenarios, but the GPU’s 50th-percentile standing suggests it will limit frame rates in more demanding graphical settings.

Usage Scenarios

High-Refresh Gaming: The CPU’s single-core performance (PassMark 3958, Cinebench 1857) is strong enough to drive high frame rates in most e-sports and lightly-threaded titles. However, the GPU’s mid-pack percentile and 16 GB of VRAM suggest that at 1080p with medium-to-high settings, the GPU will likely be the bottleneck, preventing the system from reaching the highest refresh rates. For 1440p or 4K, the GPU will be even more limiting, and the CPU’s advantage will be less visible.

Streaming: The 12-core, 24-thread CPU with a PassMark multithread score of 41732 and Cinebench R23 multicore of 25265 provides ample processing for game streaming, where the CPU can handle both game logic and encoding. The GPU’s 384 tensor cores and 48 RT cores could offload some encoding tasks, but the CPU alone is more than sufficient.

Video Editing: The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 25265 indicates strong rendering performance for 4K timelines. The CPU’s data compression score of 496429 and integer math of 146506 also support fast file handling and effects processing. The GPU’s 16 GB VRAM and 448 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for 4K previews and some GPU-accelerated effects, though the GPU’s 50th percentile might slow down complex compositing.

3D Rendering: The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multicore score of 25265 is a strong indicator for CPU-based rendering. The GPU’s FP32 of 9.4 TFLOPS and FP16 of 18.8 TFLOPS (2:1) offer some GPU-accelerated rendering, but the 50th percentile suggests it is not a top-tier renderer. For heavy scenes, the CPU will be the primary workhorse.

Software Development: The CPU’s integer math score of 146506 and random string sorting of 57971 indicate fast compile times for large codebases. The 24 threads allow parallel compilation, and the 5.10 GHz boost clock helps with single-threaded build tasks. The GPU is not a significant factor in software development.

Student and Office Work: The CPU’s single-thread performance (PassMark 3958, Cinebench R23 single 1857) handles typical office tasks, spreadsheets, and web browsing with ease. The GPU is overkill for office workloads, but the 16 GB VRAM would not be used. The system’s combined 72nd percentile ensures smooth multi-tasking.

Who Should Build It

This configuration is aimed at users who need a strong CPU for productivity but can accept a mid-range GPU. The 92nd-percentile CPU makes it ideal for content creators who prioritize rendering and video editing, where the CPU is the main bottleneck. Developers and engineers working with large codebases will benefit from the 12-core, 24-thread CPU and its high integer math score. The 16 GB GPU and 448 GB/s bandwidth provide a capable, if not top-tier, graphics solution for 3D modeling and rendering, but the GPU’s 50th percentile means it is not aimed at high-refresh competitive gamers. Small business workstations and student laptops that need a responsive CPU for multi-tasking and occasional 3D work will find this pairing adequate, but gamers seeking maximum frame rates should look for a higher-percentile GPU.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses the AMD Socket FL1, which is a mobile socket. The system supports dual-channel DDR5 memory, and the CPU has PCIe Gen5 with 28 lanes. The GPU uses a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface, which is older but still functional. The CPU’s TDP is 55 W, and the GPU’s TDP is 110 W. The GPU has no power connectors, indicating it is a mobile IGP design, likely soldered to the motherboard.

The CPU has an unlocked multiplier, allowing overclocking (if the laptop’s cooling and BIOS allow it). The socket and platform are not upgradeable in the traditional sense; the CPU is a BGA part (Socket FL1 is likely BGA). The next logical upgrade would be a newer generation mobile CPU with a higher core count or better single-thread performance, but the 8840HX is already at the 92nd percentile, so headroom is limited. The GPU is end-of-life, and its successor is listed as Ampere-MW. Upgrading to a newer mobile GPU would require a laptop redesign. The platform supports PCIe Gen5, but the current GPU uses PCIe 3.0, so there is no bottleneck there. The memory bandwidth is 83.2 GB/s for the CPU and 448 GB/s for the GPU, so both are well-suited for their tasks.
