AMD Ryzen 9 9850HX

The AMD Ryzen 9 9850HX is a high-end notebook processor from the Fire Range series with 12 of 16 cores and hyperthreading (SMT), which means it can process up to 24 threads simultaneously. Unlike the Ryzen 9 9955HX3D, the chip does not offer a 3D V-Cache. The chip was presented at CES in early 2025 and is intended for fast and expensive gaming laptops.
The CPU uses the new Zen 5 architecture for the 12 cores and clocks them at up to 5.2 GHz (single-core boost).
Thanks to the 12 fast Zen 5 cores, the performance should be excellent and well suited for all demanding applications. We assume that the performance will be similar to the old Ryzen 9 7845HX (12 x Zen 4 with up to 5.2 GHz) is similar. The faster Ryzen 9 9955HX and 9955HX3D should be able to set themselves apart significantly due to the higher number of cores (with multi-thread performance).
The 9850HX is intended for large and heavy gaming notebooks and is therefore configurable from 45 - 75 watts TDP (default 55 watts). The SoC is manufactured in the modern 4nm FinFET process at TSMC (both compute dies, I/O die in 6nm) and should therefore have very good energy efficiency.
