AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS - CPU Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS is a 4nm "Hawk Point" mobile processor featuring 8 Zen 4 cores, 16 threads, and a 5.1 GHz boost clock. It integrates a 16 TOPS NPU for AI workloads and Radeon 780M graphics, which deliver strong 1080p gaming performance without a dedicated GPU. Pros include exceptional power efficiency with a 35W–54W configurable TDP and significant multi-threaded performance advantages, outperforming competitors like the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H in benchmarks. It supports modern DDR5-5600/LPDDR5x-7500 memory and AVX-512 instructions, ensuring robust performance for productivity and content creation. Cons include a locked multiplier preventing user overclocking, and it requires active cooling, which can lead to high power consumption under full load compared to some Intel alternatives. Additionally, while the 780M iGPU is capable, it does not replace the need for a dedicated GPU in high-refresh-rate AAA gaming scenarios. For full details, visit PassMark CPU Benchmarks.

Beelink SER8 with AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS Review

The Beelink SER8 is a powerful and remarkably quiet mini PC, featuring an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and Radeon 780M graphics that provide strong performance for office tasks and light gaming. It features a redesigned all-metal aluminum chassis for superior thermals, using a large vapor chamber and a low-RPM fan to operate at nearly silent levels (roughly 32–33 dB) under load. The review highlights excellent build quality, easy internal accessibility for upgrading dual DDR5-5600 RAM and dual M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 SSD slots, and robust connectivity including a 40 Gbps USB4 port supporting eGPUs. However, the metal enclosure causes unreliable Wi-Fi performance, the HDMI output proved problematic in testing, and a slightly loose front USB-C port was noted. The design also lacks a VESA mount, mandates a clean surface for air intake, and the 8845HS offers only a marginal performance upgrade over the 7840HS.

PCSpecialist Ionico 15 S Review: Powered by Ryzen 7 8845HS

The PCSpecialist Ionico 15 S is a balanced gaming laptop featuring an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS processor and a 140W NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU, offering strong performance for its roughly €1,599 price point. Highlights include a fast 240Hz, 16:10 QHD+ display and a quick 2TB SSD, though the lack of USB4 is noted as a drawback for a modern machine. While the cooling system manages to avoid severe throttling, the laptop runs hot, with CPU/GPU temperatures peaking high and the central keyboard area reaching uncomfortable temperatures of 48°C during heavy loads.

Best Value with AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS? - The Geekom A8 Max Mini PC Review

The Geekom A8 Max, equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, serves as a high-performance, premium aluminum mini PC featuring rich connectivity options like dual USB4 and 2.5G Ethernet. While offering strong performance for office tasks and 4K editing with the Radeon 780M, the unit faces limitations due to sustained power throttling to 35W and a lack of dedicated OCuLink for external GPUs compared to competitors. Despite effective, quiet cooling under low loads, the fan becomes clearly audible under load, and the system lacks a second M.2 storage slot. For more details, visit Notebookcheck.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (16″ AMD) Review: Powerful CPU and Stunning OLED, but Room for Improvement

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (16" AMD, 16AHP9) features a durable metal chassis and a standout 16-inch 2K 120Hz OLED display with excellent color coverage, though the lid exhibits slight flexibility and the hinge does not allow for a 180-degree lay-flat position. Performance is driven by potent 45W AMD Ryzen 8000 "Hawk Point" processors and capable Radeon 780M graphics, making it suitable for heavy tasks and light gaming. However, the laptop experiences high internal temperatures under load with hot air venting towards the screen, and the soldered RAM prevents future memory upgrades.

Third-party reviews

What we like about AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS

High multi-core performance for demanding tasks like 3D rendering and video editing
Excellent energy efficiency compared to Intel's 13th and 14th Gen HX counterparts
Strong integrated graphics (Radeon 780M) capable of light gaming at 1080p
Runs relatively cool under standard loads in well-ventilated laptop chassis
Competitive pricing, often offering better value for money than equivalent Intel chips
Supports modern standards including DDR5-5600 memory and AVX-512 instructions

What we don't like about AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS

Performance is highly dependent on the laptop manufacturer's specific TDP limits (e.g., lower in thin ultraportables)
Multiplier is locked, which prevents manual overclocking
The integrated NPU (AI chip) is considered 'useless' or underwhelming by some users for current workloads
Can experience significant thermal throttling if the laptop's cooling solution is insufficient
May require a dedicated GPU for modern AAA gaming at high settings, as the iGPU has limitations
Some users reported occasional random system freezes or performance drops that are difficult to troubleshoot

Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS is a high-performance 8-core, 16-thread laptop processor based on the 4nm Zen 4 'Hawk Point' architecture, featuring a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a boost clock of up to 5.1 GHz. Key characteristics include its powerful Radeon 780M integrated graphics and a dedicated XDNA-based Neural Processing Unit (NPU) delivering up to 16 TOPS for AI workloads, all within a configurable TDP of 35-54W. Its main pros are exceptional energy efficiency, leading integrated graphics performance for 1080p gaming, and robust multi-threaded capabilities for productivity. However, notable cons include a locked multiplier that prevents traditional overclocking and a reliance on high-speed system RAM for optimal graphics performance due to the lack of dedicated VRAM.
