In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7300HQ. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-7300HQ. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7300HQ. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7300HQ. Also, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a significantly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-7300HQ. The Ryzen 7 8845HS also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-7300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
