The Dragon Slaughters The Raptor: AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX “Dragon Range” Laptop CPU Decimates Intel 13th Gen Lineup In Performance & Efficiency
The first preview of AMD's Ryzen 9 7945HX "Dragon Range" flagship CPU has been published by NotebookCheck and we see some stunning performance & efficiency numbers.
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.
The folks over at NotebookCheck were able to test the chip out in the ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 laptop and the results speak for themselves. Starting with the overall performance figures, Ryzen 9 7945HX "Dragon Range" CPU was able to come on par in single-thread and end up faster than the fastest Intel 13th Gen Laptop CPU in multi-threaded benchmarks. While the performance lead has a lot to talk about, what's even more impressive is the wattage.

Intel's flagship consumed anywhere from 180-190W and even spiked beyond 200W with average temperatures hovering around 85C. Within a few seconds of operation, the CPU was throttling to sub 3.8 GHz clocks. Meanwhile, AMD's chip never broke past 120W which was its peak and temps were close to 80C but the chip remained steady with a 4.3-4.4 GHz clock speed.
The benchmark results above obviously do
