The official performance benchmarks of AMD's Ryzen 7045 "Dragon Range" enthusiast laptop CPUs have been revealed against the Intel 12th Gen lineup.
The AMD Ryzen 7045 "Dragon Range" CPUs will be aimed at the enthusiast-grade laptop segment. It will be the first laptop lineup from the red team to offer more than 8 cores and 16 threads along with loads of cache in a high clock and high TDP package. There are going to be a total of four CPUs within the lineup and it looks like AMD has finally shared some benchmarks which compare them against Intel's 12th Gen "Alder Lake" chips.
The performance numbers that AMD has shared are for the Ryzen 9 7945HX, Ryzen 7 7745HX, and the Ryzen 5 7645HX. The trio of CPUs was tested within Cinebench R23 single and multi-threaded workloads. For comparison, AMD used Intel's 12th Gen Alder Lake chips, both HX, and H-series to show how well their new chips fare although Intel has already launched its high-end Raptor Lake-HX CPUs this month which are a direct follow-up to the 12th Gen HX/H chips tested here.
Starting off with the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX, the CPU offers a 2% single and 52% multi-threaded improvement over the Intel Core i9-12900HX. That's 16 cores and 32 threads compared to 16 cores and 24 threads. Next up is the Ryzen 7 7745HX which is an 8-core and 16-thread chip that has been compared to the Core i7-12700H and offers a 6% single & 25% multi-threaded performance uplift. This is an 8-core and 16-thread chip compared to a 14-core and 20-thread chip.
Lastly, there's the Ryzen 5 7645HX which is compared to the Core i5-12500H and offers a 7% single & 9% multi-core improvement. Following are the testing footnotes from AMD (via Videocardz):
