AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840HS Phoenix APU Spotted & Benchmarked, Faster Than Ryzen 9 6900HX
The first benchmarks of AMD's Ryzen 7 PRO 7840HS Phoenix APU have leaked out and it easily beats the Ryzen 9 6900HX.
The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840HS is the second Phoenix PRO APU that has leaked out this week. The first one is the Ryzen 9 PRO 7940HS which was leaked yesterday. This shows that the red team is indeed ready to launch its Business-aimed PRO APUs for laptops soon after the standard variants launch later this month.
In terms of specifications, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840HS features 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 4 core architecture (TSMC 4nm). The CPU features 16 MB of L3 and 8 MB of L2 cache while the clock frequency is maintained at a 3.8 GHz base and up to 5.0 GHz boost clocks. That's just 200 MHz slower than the boost clock of the Ryzen 9 PRO 7940HS which boosts up to 5.2 GHz. The GPU side is configured with an AMD Radeon 780M iGPU which features the RDNA 3 architecture, 12 CUs & a boost clock of 2700 MHz.
The Phoenix APU was benchmarked within Geekbench 5 where it scored 1846 points in single-core and 10421 points in multi-core tests. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840HS sits around 14% faster in single and 5% faster in multi-core tests versus the Ryzen 9 6900HX and we have to remember that this is not the final performance. The laptop was clearly running in an HP power-optimized mode & that's suggesting that we can see better performance with an ultimate performance profile.
AMD's CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, recently visited Lenovo's Bejing HQ to discuss their plans for the upcoming Ryzen 7040 Phoenix APU and the respective laptop launch. Dr. Lisa was met with a huge crowd of fans, turning up the excitement for the Zen 4 launch on mainstream laptops.
