AMD claims that the new Ryzen 9 7945X3D with a whopping 144MB cache is the fastest mobile gaming processor on the planet, and that it’s more than 15 percent faster than the Ryzen 9 7945HX on average. It has 16 cores, 32 threads, up to 5.4 Ghz boost speeds and 55W+ TDP. The CPU is built on the Zen 4 architecture.

    Can’t wait to read the Userbenchmark review telling me why this chip is actually garbage and how only idiots buy AMD.

      "When using all 16 cores at a TDP of 5 watts, it is actually a lot slower then the core i3-1969UwU, making it pretty useless for battery operation. Consider buying an intel CPU.

    This is absolutely ridiculous. Looking at what we get out of mobile CPUs today, when I have a laptop with an i7-7700HQ from 2017 that has… 4 cores/8 threads and is turboing to somewhere in the mid 3GhZ range. With a 45W TDP.

    The last 5 years have been such a turbo charging for CPUs

    It’s because the 7900 and 7950 are using an “old” naming scheme and the 7945 is using a new naming scheme.

    • 7 = released in 2023
    • 9 = Ryzen 9
    • 4 = Zen 4
    • 5 = mobile/APU

    One of the side effects of this is that bigger number no longer necessarily means better, especially if you’re comparing between architectures
