AMD Unveils New Gaming Laptop Chips Using Last-Gen Architecture
AMD has unveiled its next-generation Ryzen 8000 series processors tailored for gaming laptops, with the flagship Ryzen 9 8945HX leading the charge. Unlike the Ryzen AI 300 series chips released earlier this year, these new processors are based on the previous Zen 4 architecture. This series includes four new processors designed for high-performance gaming laptops, starting with the Ryzen 9 8945HX, which boasts 16 cores, 32 threads, and a boost clock up to 5.4GHz. At the other end, the Ryzen 7 8745HX comes with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a 5.1GHz boost clock. These new chips closely resemble their last-generation counterparts, such as the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX, which also features 16 cores and a 5.4GHz boost clock with 80MB of cache.
These processors are set to be paired with the most powerful graphics chips available in high-end gaming laptops. My earlier review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile highlighted its struggles when paired with the lower-power AMD Ryzen AI HX 370, despite its newer Zen 5 architecture. In contrast, the Ryzen 9 8945HX can be configured to operate between 55W and 75W, promising a significant performance boost, although a Zen 5 chip with the same power budget would have offered even greater improvements.
If you've been holding out for AMD's latest processors to upgrade your gaming laptop, you won't have to wait much longer. These new chips are expected to be integrated into high-end gaming laptops in the coming months. Below, I've detailed the specifications of the new Ryzen 8000 series processors:
