# AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile

This laptop pairing combines AMD's Zen 4-based Ryzen 7 8845HS processor with NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace RTX 4060 Mobile GPU, landing at the 74th percentile overall among all CPU+GPU combinations in the database. No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination, so all frame rate discussion below is estimated from the individual benchmark scores rather than direct game testing. The data shows a well-balanced mid-range mobile platform, with the CPU sitting at the 81st percentile against all processors and the GPU at the 67th percentile against all graphics cards.

Gaming Performance

Because no measured FPS data is available for this specific CPU+GPU pairing, the following figures are estimates derived from the GPU's PassMark G3D score of 17469 and the CPU's multi-threaded performance. The RTX 4060 Mobile's 11.61 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth suggest it can handle modern titles at 1080p with high settings comfortably, though ultra settings at 1440p will require compromises on demanding releases.

At 1080p ultra, this combination should deliver playable frame rates in most esports and competitive titles, given the CPU's single-thread score of 990 in 3DMark and 3738 in PassMark single-thread. The GPU's 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores provide hardware-accelerated ray tracing and DLSS support, which can boost performance in supported titles when upscaling is enabled. Based on the GPU's 67th percentile standing, expect around 60-90 FPS in AAA games at 1080p ultra, with esports titles reaching 144+ FPS thanks to the CPU's strong single-core performance.

At 1440p, the 8 GB GDDR6 memory buffer on a 128-bit bus becomes a limiting factor, particularly in texture-heavy games. The GPU's 90.72 GPixel/s pixel rate and 181.4 GTexel/s texture rate indicate solid fill-rate capabilities, but the memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s is modest for higher resolutions. The data suggests that 1440p gaming at medium-to-high settings is achievable, but ultra settings will likely push frame rates below 60 FPS in graphically intensive titles.

For 4K gaming, this pairing is not well-suited; the GPU's 67th percentile ranking places it below the thresholds typically needed for smooth 4K ultra experiences. The CPU's multi-threaded score of 7413 in 3DMark max threads and 16192 in Cinebench R23 multicore indicate it can keep up with the GPU at lower resolutions, but the GPU becomes the bottleneck at 4K. The PassMark DirectX 12 score of 73 suggests adequate API efficiency, while the DirectX 11 score of 157 shows better legacy performance, meaning older titles will run more smoothly than recent DX12-heavy releases.

Benchmark Performance

The Ryzen 7 8845HS delivers strong CPU benchmark results across the board. In Cinebench R23, it scores 16192 multicore and 1769 single-core, placing it in the 81st percentile against all CPUs. Geekbench results show 12212 multicore and 2081 single-core, while 3DMark scores scale predictably from 990 single-thread to 7404 at 16 threads and 7413 at max threads. The PassMark multithread score of 28498, integer math score of 97747, and floating-point math score of 59254 indicate robust compute performance for productivity workloads.

The RTX 4060 Mobile's benchmark scores show a GPU that competes with desktop parts from a generation ago. Its PassMark G3D score of 17469 places it at the 67th percentile, with the nearest rival being the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 at 22895 (0.7% faster), followed by the Intel Arc B580 at 23021 (1.3% faster) and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT at 22549 (0.8% slower). The Geekbench OpenCL score of 89420 and Vulkan score of 89569 demonstrate solid compute capabilities, though the PassMark GPU compute score of 6816 suggests mixed performance in general-purpose workloads.

The combined picture shows a CPU that outperforms its GPU in relative terms — the processor sits 14 percentile points higher than the graphics card. The CPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS (identical average score of 29955), AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT (29879, 0.3% slower), AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (29868, 0.3% slower), and AMD Ryzen 5 9600X (29713, 0.8% slower). This indicates the 8845HS is a well-optimized mobile chip that punches above its weight class, while the GPU is more mid-pack in its comparison set.

Balance and Bottleneck

The performance data reveals a slight CPU-favored imbalance. The processor sits at the 81st percentile while the GPU rests at the 67th, meaning the GPU will typically be the limiting factor in gaming workloads. Evidence from the 3DMark scores — where the CPU scales from 990 single-thread to 7404 at 16 threads — shows strong multi-core headroom that games rarely exploit fully, while the GPU's PassMark G3D score of 17469 indicates mid-pack rendering capability.

In CPU-bound scenarios like esports titles at low resolutions or simulation games with heavy AI calculations, the Ryzen 7 8845HS can push frame rates high, but the GPU may struggle to keep up with the CPU's output. The PassMark physics score of 1347 and data compression score of 344439 show the CPU excels at physics calculations and data handling, which can bottleneck in games that rely on these systems if the GPU is slower.

Conversely, in GPU-bound workloads like 4K gaming or heavy ray tracing, the CPU will sit idle while the GPU works at full capacity. The RTX 4060 Mobile's 11.61 TFLOPS FP32 and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth are the limiting factors here, not the CPU. The benchmark data suggests this pairing is best suited for 1080p gaming where both components can operate near their potential, with the CPU providing enough headroom for streaming or background tasks while gaming.

The FPS scaling pattern, estimated from the benchmark scores, would show diminishing returns as resolution increases — strong at 1080p, acceptable at 1440p with settings adjustments, and weak at 4K. This is consistent with the GPU's memory bandwidth and VRAM capacity being the primary constraints at higher resolutions.

CPU Analysis

The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Hawk Point. It operates at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosts up to 5.10 GHz, manufactured on TSMC's 4 nm process with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The chip uses AMD Socket FP8 and features 64 KB L1 cache per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3 cache.

Benchmark results show a processor that excels in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16192 and single-core score of 1769 indicate strong all-around performance, while the 3DMark scores show excellent scaling from 2 threads (1924) to 16 threads (7404), with only marginal gains beyond 8 threads (6085 to 7413). This suggests the chip is well-optimized for real-world workloads that use up to 8 cores.

The PassMark suite reveals specific strengths: integer math at 97747, floating-point math at 59254, and extended instructions at 25642. These scores indicate solid performance in encryption (20416), compression (344439), and random string sorting (41446), making this CPU suitable for content creation, software development, and data processing tasks. The single-thread score of 3738 in PassMark confirms strong per-core performance, essential for legacy applications and games that don't scale well across cores.

The integrated Radeon 780M graphics provide a fallback display output, though discrete GPU performance is far superior. The 45 W TDP is modest for an 8-core chip, allowing it to fit in thinner laptops while maintaining competitive performance. The 4 nm process node contributes to efficiency, and the chip's 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth via dual-channel DDR5 supports both CPU and iGPU operations.

This pairing targets gamers who prioritize 1080p performance and are willing to accept mid-range settings at higher resolutions. The CPU's 81st percentile ranking and the GPU's 67th percentile combine to deliver a system that excels in esports titles, where the processor's strong single-thread performance (990 in 3DMark single-thread) drives high frame rates, while the GPU handles modern AAA games at 1080p ultra with estimated 60+ FPS.

Content creators will find value in the CPU's multi-threaded capabilities — Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16192 and Geekbench multicore of 12212 suggest solid video editing and 3D rendering performance. The GPU's compute scores (89420 OpenCL, 89569 Vulkan) support GPU-accelerated effects in Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve. The PassMark data compression score of 344439 and encryption score of 20416 make this system suitable for developers working with large codebases or data processing tasks.

Students and professionals needing a portable workstation will benefit from the 45 W CPU TDP and 115 W GPU TDP, which allow for reasonably sized laptops with adequate battery life when not gaming. The CPU's 16 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 support ensure responsive multitasking, while the GPU's 8 GB VRAM handles moderate creative workloads. Small business workstations that need occasional gaming capability alongside productivity software would find this pairing sufficient, though the GPU's 67th percentile suggests it is not a top-tier professional rendering solution.

It operates at a base clock of 1545 MHz and boosts to 1890 MHz, with memory running at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective). The 8 GB GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 256.0 GB/s bandwidth, which is a limiting factor for high-resolution textures.

The GPU's architecture includes 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, along with 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores. This hardware enables DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 support. The pixel rate of 90.72 GPixel/s and texture rate of 181.4 GTexel/s indicate solid fill-rate performance, while FP32 and FP16 compute both measure 11.61 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio), which is notable for a mobile GPU.

Benchmark scores show the GPU delivering 17469 in PassMark G3D, placing it at the 67th percentile. Its nearest rivals paint a clear picture: the RTX 2080 desktop is 0.7% faster, the Intel Arc B580 is 1.3% faster, and the RX 7700 XT is 0.8% slower. The RTX 5060 Mobile, its successor, is only 1.3% faster, indicating the 4060 Mobile remains competitive in its class. The PassMark DirectX scores (73 for DX12, 157 for DX11, 216 for DX9) suggest better performance in older APIs, which is typical for NVIDIA drivers.

For rendering workloads, the 24 RT cores provide hardware-accelerated ray tracing, while the 96 tensor cores enable DLSS and AI-based features. The GPU compute score of 6816 in PassMark indicates moderate compute performance, suitable for light 3D rendering and video encoding tasks. The 115 W TDP is modest for a discrete GPU, allowing it to fit in thinner laptops, though the IGP slot width and lack of power connectors indicate this is a soldered, non-upgradeable component.

Build Overview

This is a laptop-class build combining an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile GPU. The CPU is an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 4 chip from the 8000 series, released December 2023, while the GPU is an Ada Lovelace-based mobile part from the GeForce 40-series, released January 2023. Both components are currently in active production.

The combined percentile of 74 places this pairing above 74% of all CPU+GPU combinations in the database, indicating a solid upper-mid-range mobile platform. The CPU contributes the 81st percentile ranking, while the GPU sits at the 67th percentile, creating a system where the processor has more headroom than the graphics card. This makes sense for a laptop where thermal and power constraints limit the GPU's full potential.

The 45 W CPU TDP and 115 W GPU TDP suggest a combined thermal envelope around 160 W, which is manageable in a larger gaming laptop chassis. The CPU's 4 nm process and the GPU's 5 nm process both contribute to efficiency, though the GPU's 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is a potential bottleneck for future games. The system uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU and a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface for the GPU, providing adequate bandwidth for current hardware.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses AMD Socket FP8, which is a mobile-only socket with no desktop equivalent. This means the processor is soldered and not upgradeable in a traditional sense; laptop buyers should choose their CPU configuration at purchase time. The platform supports DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, providing 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, and offers PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. The GPU connects via PCIe 4.0 x8, which is sufficient for the RTX 4060 Mobile's bandwidth needs.

The GPU is also soldered, with an IGP slot width and no power connectors, making it non-upgradeable. However, the 115 W TDP and 8 GB VRAM provide room for the GPU to perform adequately for several years at 1080p. The suggested PSU is not listed, but given the combined TDP of 160 W (45 W CPU + 115 W GPU), a laptop power adapter in the 200-240 W range would be typical, though this figure is not in the data.

For a sensible next upgrade, users would need to replace the entire laptop, as neither component is upgradeable. The data shows that the CPU's nearest rival, the Ryzen 7 7840HS, is identical in performance, while the GPU's successor, the RTX 5060 Mobile, is only 1.3% faster — suggesting that upgrading within the same generation offers minimal gains. A meaningful upgrade would require moving to a higher-tier GPU like the RTX 5070 Mobile or a desktop replacement, though specific comparisons are not available in the data. The platform's DDR5 support and PCIe Gen 4 ensure that external GPU enclosures could theoretically provide additional graphics performance, but this is not directly supported by the data.
