AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX vs AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS: comparison
Comparison of AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX and AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS: key differences and a full specification table.
Key differences
AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX has more cores (16 vs 8), more threads (32 vs 16), a higher maximum clock (5.4 GHz vs 5.2 GHz) and a larger L3 cache (64 MB vs 16 MB).
At the same time, AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS has a higher base clock (4 GHz vs 2.5 GHz), a lower TDP (35–54 W vs 55 W), a finer process node (4 nm vs 5 nm) and a higher maximum memory size (256 GB vs 64 GB).
Both processors match on: memory channels (2).
These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
