Ryzen 9 8945HS vs Ryzen 7 6800U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 8945HS beats the Ryzen 7 6800U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 6800U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 8945HS has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 6800U. Also, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 6800U outputs less heat than Ryzen 9 8945HS thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 6800U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
