AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX 16-Core “Dragon Range” Laptop CPU Benchmark Leak, Faster Than 7900X

AMD's flagship Ryzen 9 7945HX "Dragon Range" CPU has been tested within Geekbench 5 and it offers some really impressive laptop performance figures.

The Ryzen 9 7945HX is going to be AMD's fastest laptop chip ever made. It will rock the 5nm Zen 4 core architecture and offer a total of 16 cores and 32 threads, the same as the Ryzen 9 7950X CPU from the desktop lineup. These 16 cores will be running at a base frequency of 2.5 GHz and boost up to 5.4 GHz which is highly impressive for a mobility part. The CPU comes with 80 MB of cache & also offers a TDP range of 55-75W+. As further icing on the cake, AMD enables overclocking across its entire Dragon Range lineup which would make for some really powerful laptops.

As for the performance, the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX CPU was tested within the Geekbench 5 bench and scored 2127 points in single-core and 19,403 points in multi-core. The chip was running on a ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 laptop with 32 GB of DDR5-4800 memory in the performance mode.

The single-core performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX is on par with AMD's high-end Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs whereas the multi-core score is faster than the Ryzen 9 7900X desktop chip. Now the desktop chip does have lower cores (12 vs 16) but it has a higher TDP to work with and a higher all-core boost too.

Of course, power and thermals play a huge role in making or breaking a mobile chip and AMD has so far shown the lead in terms of efficiency with its Zen 4 core architecture. The first AMD Ryzen 7045 "Dragon Range" laptops are expected to land in the coming days so stay tuned for detailed reviews.
