AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX vs Intel Core i7-14650HX
AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX
► remove from comparison
The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX is a fast high-end laptop processor of the Dragon Range series. It offers 8 cores based on the Zen 4 architecture that supports hyperthreading (16 threads). The cores clock from 3.6 (base) up to 5.1 GHz (single core boost).
The Dragon Range series still uses a chiplet design with two CCD-clusters (each with 8 possible cores, the 7745HX only uses one CCD) in 5nm and an IO-die (including the memory controller and the Radeon 610M iGPU) in 6nm. The chip integrates 4x USB 3.2 Gen2 (10 Gbps) ports (no USB4), 28 PCIe 5.0 lanes (for GPU and SSDs) and a dual-channel DDR5-5200 memory controller.
Performance
The average 7745HX in our database is in the same league as the Core i5-13500HX and the Core i7-13705H, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned. This is a very fast chip, as of early 2023, and it will make both content creators and gamers happy - for the next two years or so, at least. Your mileage may vary depending on how competent the cooling solution of your system is and how high the CPU power limits are.
The R7 7745HX is rated at a TDP of 55 Watt and can be configured up to 75 Watt (cTDP).
Intel Core i7-14650HX
► remove from comparison
The Intel Core i7-14650HX is a high-end CPU based on the new Raptor Lake architecture for large and heavy notebooks. The CPU was introduced at the beginning of 2024 and is similar to the older Core i7-13700HX except for slightly higher CPU clock rates (max 200 MHz).
The total of 24 threads are divided into P-cores and E-cores, which we already know from Alder-Lake. The 13700HX offers 8 performance cores (P-cores) with hyperthreading and 8 efficiency cores (E-cores) without hyperthreading. A total of 20 threads are therefore supported. The P-cores clock from 2.2 to 5.2 GHz (single core) or 4.5 GHz (all cores) and the E-cores from 1.6 to 3.7 GHz. The integrated memory controller supports a maximum of DDR5 with 4800 MHz (and not 5600 MHz like the i9 HX models).
Compared to Alder Lake, the new Raptor Lake architecture offers improved P-cores (Raptor Cove architecture with more cache), more E-cores (same Gracemont architecture) and higher clock rates thanks to the improved Intel 7 process. Furthermore, Intel now supports faster DDR5 main memory in the top models (up to 5600 MHz in the i9).
The performance should be slightly above the older Core i7-13700HX (with the same TDP settings and cooling). This makes the CPU ideal for demanding tasks and games.
The 14650HX continues to be manufactured using Intel's improved 10nm FinFET process (Intel 7 process) and is specified with 55 watts of base power and 157 watts of turbo power.
