AMD has unveiled its latest line of mobile processors, the Ryzen 7000 series, as the company looks to take on Intel’s powerful HX laptop CPUs. The new processors, which will be available in a variety of configurations to meet the needs of different users, include the premium Ryzen 9 7945HX. This processor boasts 16 cores, 32 threads, and speeds of between 2.5GHz and 5.4GHz, making it AMD’s most advanced mobile offering to date.
In addition to the high-end Ryzen 9 7945HX, the Ryzen 7000 series includes a range of other chips that will be used in everything from budget laptops to extreme gaming and creator machines. This means that there will be a Ryzen laptop processor for practically every need, giving AMD a strong offering to take on Intel’s HX series.
Intel unveiled its HX lineup of processors last year, and the company recently announced that it will be releasing even more HX processors in 2023, led by the 24-core i9-13980HX. These chips use a hybrid design that combines Performance and Efficient cores, which may result in similar performance to AMD’s full-speed cores. However, AMD’s focus on its HX series this year could give the company an edge in the competition with Intel.
