The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS is an 8-core, 16-thread mobile processor built on the TSMC 4 nm process node, featuring a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. It belongs to the 8000 series and uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Hawk Point codename. The CPU has a 45 W TDP and is designed for the AMD Socket FP8 platform. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache, totaling a substantial pool for multi-threaded workloads. The processor supports dual-channel DDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, and it provides PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. Notably, the chip includes integrated Radeon 780M graphics, which is distinct from the discrete GPU in this build.

Benchmark data positions this CPU strongly in the market. The 3DMark single-thread score is 990, while the 2-thread score reaches 1924, indicating efficient scaling at low thread counts. The 4-thread score jumps to 3690, and the 8-thread score is 6085, showing robust performance as more cores engage. The max-thread score of 7413 is nearly identical to the 16-thread score of 7404, suggesting that the processor is fully utilized at 16 threads without significant diminishing returns. In Cinebench R23, the multicore score of 16192 and single-core score of 1769 highlight a strong balance between single-thread responsiveness and multi-core throughput. Geekbench results reinforce this, with a multicore score of 12212 and a single-core score of 2081.

Real-world implications for these scores are clear. The single-thread performance, evidenced by the 3DMark single-thread score of 990 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1769, translates to snappy application launches and responsive everyday computing. The multi-thread capabilities, shown by the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16192, are sufficient for demanding tasks like video encoding or software compilation. Passmark results provide additional context: integer math scores 97747, floating-point math reaches 59254, and extended instructions score 25642. Data compression and encryption scores are 344439 and 20416, respectively, while the multithread score is 28498. These figures indicate a processor that handles both integer-heavy and floating-point-heavy workloads competently, making it suitable for a broad range of productivity applications.

Benchmark Performance

The overall performance picture combines the CPU’s 81st percentile ranking among all CPUs with the GPU’s 53rd percentile position, yielding a combined percentile of 67. This places the build in the upper-middle tier of systems, with the processor being the standout component. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 29955, which is exactly matched by the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS, showing a delta of 0%. The nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT with an average score of 29879 and a delta of 0.3%, the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H with 29868 and a delta of 0.3%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X with 29713 and a delta of 0.8%. These small deltas indicate that the 8845HS is effectively tied with its closest competitors, offering no significant advantage or disadvantage in raw CPU throughput.

The GPU, the AMD Radeon 740M, is a different story. It scores 10172 in Geekbench OpenCL and 15568 in Geekbench Vulkan, with an average benchmark score of 12870. This places it at the 53rd percentile among all GPUs, which is a mid-pack position. The nearest rivals are the AMD FirePro W5100 with an average score of 12847 and a delta of 0.2%, the AMD Radeon Pro 455 with 12831 and a delta of 0.3%, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 with 12830 and a delta of 0.3%. Interestingly, the AMD Radeon RX 580 scores 12928, which is 0.4% higher, showing that the 740M is within a rounding error of a desktop-class GPU from a previous generation. This means the integrated graphics are competitive with older discrete solutions, but they are not in the same league as modern dedicated GPUs.

The combined picture is one of a CPU that can drive demanding applications without bottlenecking, paired with a GPU that is adequate for casual gaming and light content creation but will struggle with high-end graphical workloads. The CPU’s 81st percentile ranking means it outperforms roughly four-fifths of all processors, while the GPU’s 53rd percentile means it is squarely average. This imbalance is characteristic of a system where the CPU is the primary asset, and the GPU is a secondary consideration for users who do not prioritize gaming or GPU-accelerated rendering.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The platform is built around the AMD Socket FP8, which is a mobile-specific socket, meaning upgrades are limited to what the laptop chassis allows. The CPU supports dual-channel DDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, and the memory bus is dual-channel, which is standard for mobile processors. The memory type is DDR5, and the system does not support ECC memory, which is typical for consumer laptops. The PCIe interface is Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU, providing ample bandwidth for a discrete GPU and NVMe storage, though the integrated GPU in this build uses a system-shared memory configuration.

The CPU has a TDP of 45 W, and the GPU also has a TDP of 45 W, but the GPU’s suggested PSU is null, indicating that the power supply is integrated into the laptop and not user-serviceable. The GPU is an IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor) with no power connectors, meaning it draws power from the motherboard. This makes the upgrade path straightforward in theory but impractical in practice: the CPU and GPU are both soldered or integrated, so users cannot swap them out. A sensible next upgrade would be to increase system memory, as the GPU uses system-shared memory, and more RAM would directly benefit graphics performance. However, the dual-channel configuration means that adding memory should be done in pairs to maintain bandwidth.

The platform does not have an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not an option. The production status is active for both components, and the CPU was released on December 5, 2023, while the GPU was released on January 30, 2024. For users considering a new build, the platform is current, but the upgrade path is essentially closed beyond memory and storage. The lack of a suggested PSU figure for the GPU implies that the laptop’s power delivery is fixed, so there is no headroom for adding a more powerful discrete GPU without changing the entire system.

Usage Scenarios

For high-refresh gaming, the GPU’s 53rd percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 12870 indicate that it can handle esports titles at moderate settings, but it will not sustain high frame rates in demanding AAA games. The CPU’s strong single-thread performance, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 990, ensures that frame pacing will be consistent, but the GPU is the limiting factor for pushing past 60 FPS in most titles.

Streaming is feasible thanks to the CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads, which can handle encoding workloads alongside gaming. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16192 suggests that the CPU has enough headroom to encode video while maintaining gameplay, but the GPU’s lack of dedicated tensor cores means that hardware-accelerated encoding is not available, relying on the CPU for that task.

Video editing is a mixed bag. The CPU’s Passmark multithread score of 28498 and data compression score of 344439 indicate strong performance for rendering and exporting timelines. However, the GPU’s limited shading units and 2.867 TFLOPS of FP32 performance will slow down effects that rely on GPU acceleration, such as color grading or motion graphics.

3D rendering is CPU-bound, and the 8845HS excels here. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16192 places it well ahead of many desktop processors, and the Passmark floating-point math score of 59254 confirms strong compute capability. The GPU’s 4 RT cores and 2.867 TFLOPS are insufficient for real-time ray tracing, so any ray-traced rendering will be slow.

Software development benefits from the CPU’s multi-threaded performance. The Passmark integer math score of 97747 and find prime numbers score of 87 indicate solid computational capabilities for compilation and testing. The 16 threads allow for parallel builds, and the 16 MB of L3 cache helps keep frequently accessed data close to the cores.

Student and office work is where this build shines. The CPU’s single-thread score of 2081 in Geekbench ensures smooth multitasking, and the GPU’s capabilities are more than enough for document editing, web browsing, and video conferencing. The 45 W TDP for the CPU and GPU combined means the laptop can run on battery for extended periods without excessive heat.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data shows a clear imbalance between the CPU and GPU. The CPU’s 81st percentile ranking versus the GPU’s 53rd percentile means that the processor is significantly more capable than the graphics solution. In CPU-bound workloads, such as software compilation or 3D rendering, the system will perform at a level consistent with the CPU’s high percentile, delivering excellent results. In GPU-bound workloads, such as gaming or GPU-accelerated video encoding, the system will be constrained by the GPU’s mid-pack performance.

The lack of measured FPS data for this exact combination means that frame rates must be estimated from the benchmark scores. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 12870, which is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon RX 580’s score of 12928 (a delta of -0.4%), suggests that gaming performance will be comparable to that older discrete GPU. This means that at 1080p with medium settings, the system can achieve playable frame rates in most games, but at 1440p or with high/ultra settings, the GPU will be the bottleneck, causing frame rates to drop below 60 FPS.

The CPU is unlikely to be the bottleneck in any workload, except in scenarios where single-thread performance is paramount. The 3DMark single-thread score of 990 is respectable but not top-tier, and the Geekbench single-core score of 2081 is similarly mid-range. For most tasks, the CPU will provide more than enough performance, and the GPU will be the limiting factor. This is a system where the user must be mindful of the GPU’s limitations when selecting game settings or rendering options.

GPU Analysis

The AMD Radeon 740M is an integrated GPU based on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on the TSMC 4 nm process node. It uses the Phoenix2 chip and has 256 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, and 8 raster output units. The base clock is 800 MHz, and the boost clock reaches 2800 MHz. The GPU features 4 ray tracing cores, but it has no tensor cores, which means it lacks dedicated hardware for AI acceleration. The FP32 performance is 2.867 TFLOPS, and the FP16 performance is also 2.867 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, indicating that the GPU does not have a dedicated FP16 path.

The memory configuration is system-shared, meaning the GPU uses the same DDR5 memory as the CPU, and the bandwidth is system-dependent. This is a significant limitation, as the GPU must compete with the CPU for memory bandwidth, and the 89.6 GB/s available to the CPU is shared between both components. The pixel rate is 22.40 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 44.80 GTexel/s, which are modest figures for a modern GPU. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8, which provides adequate bandwidth for an integrated solution.

Benchmark results show a Geekbench OpenCL score of 10172 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 15568, with an average benchmark score of 12870. This places the GPU at the 53rd percentile among all GPUs, which is a mid-pack position. The nearest rivals are the AMD FirePro W5100 with a score of 12847, the AMD Radeon Pro 455 with 12831, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 with 12830, all of which are within 0.3% of the 740M’s score. The AMD Radeon RX 580 scores 12928, which is 0.4% higher, showing that the 740M is competitive with a desktop GPU from the previous generation.

For rendering workloads, the GPU’s 4 RT cores provide some ray tracing capability, but the low FP32 throughput of 2.867 TFLOPS will limit its effectiveness. The lack of tensor cores means that AI-accelerated features like DLSS or similar technologies are not available. The GPU is best suited for light gaming at 1080p with medium settings, and it can handle video playback and general desktop acceleration without issue. For users who need more graphical performance, a discrete GPU would be necessary, but the laptop form factor makes this impossible.

Gaming Performance

There are no measured FPS values for this exact CPU and GPU combination, as the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data. All frame rate expectations below are estimates based on the benchmark scores and should be treated as approximations. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 12870, which is comparable to the AMD Radeon RX 580’s score of 12928, provides a reference point for expected performance.

At 1080p with ultra settings, the GPU will likely struggle to maintain 60 FPS in most modern titles. The 2.867 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 8 ROPs are limiting factors, and the system-shared memory bandwidth will further constrain performance. Esports titles like CS:GO or League of Legends may achieve 60-100 FPS at medium settings, but demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 or Red Dead Redemption 2 will likely run at 30-40 FPS or lower.

At 1440p, the GPU is not suitable for gaming, as the pixel throughput of 22.40 GPixel/s is insufficient for high resolutions. Users should expect to run games at low settings and lower resolutions to achieve playable frame rates. The CPU’s strong single-thread performance, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 990, will help maintain consistent frame pacing, but the GPU will be the primary bottleneck.

For users who prioritize gaming, this build is not recommended. The GPU is adequate for casual or older games, but it cannot deliver a high-refresh experience in modern titles. The lack of measured FPS data underscores the uncertainty in these estimates, but the benchmark scores provide a clear indication that the GPU is the limiting factor in this system. Users should plan to play games at 1080p with medium settings or lower to achieve acceptable performance.
