The Dragon Range Ryzen 9 7845HX 12-Core CPU is Faster Than the Desktop i7-13700K
The AMD Ryzen 7000 mobile leaks have started to pour in. Firstly, we saw the RDNA3-based Radeon 780M in action. Then today, the Ryzen 9 7940HS and the 780M (once again) were put to the test. Similarly, the Dragon Range (Ryzen 7045) based Ryzen 9 7845HX has been benchmarked in PassMark. Initial results put this CPU on par with the i7-13700K.
Ryzen 9 7845HX
Ryzen 7000 family is divided into 5 segments, where Dragon Range is the highest-end offering. Dragon Range CPUs (Ryzen 7045), boast up to 16 cores / 32 threads and feature a multi-chiplet design which a first for the mobile market. Consider them as repurposed desktop Zen4 silicon.
Across a wide variety of laptop chips, the Ryzen 9 7845HX is now officially the fastest mobile CPU. Though, this spot will be usurped once the Dragon Range flagship, the Ryzen 9 7945HX gets benchmarked. Similarly, Intel’s 13th gen mobile offerings are still yet to be tested.
The Ryzen 9 7845HX scores 46791 points, making it 31% faster than the i9-12900HX. Similarly, it is a whopping 90% faster than the Ryzen 9 6900HX, which is really impressive.
When compared against desktop and server CPUs, the 7845HX still does not disappoint. In fact, it is slightly faster than Intel’s desktop i7-13700KF. Better yet, even the i9-12900KS fails to reach the performance levels of this CPU. Dragon Range is incredibly promising and something you should consider if you plan on purchasing a high-end laptop this year.
Ryzen 9 7845HX
The AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX features 12 cores / 24 threads based on the Zen4 architecture. It packs 76MB (64MB L3 + 12MB L2) of total cache and has an advertised TDP of 55W. In terms of the GPU, the 7845HX is equipped with the Radeon 610M based on RDNA2, as a display adaptor. This CPU has a base clock of 3GHz, which can go as high as 5.2GHz. AMD has not provided an official release date for the Dragon Range lineup, however, we expect it to arrive in the next few months.
