In benchmark tests, the Ryzen 7040HS surpasses the Intel Core i9 13900H CPU in both overall scores and gaming performance, exhibiting a remarkable performance advantage of up to 15% in most PC games. The only exception was observed in Cyberpunk 2077, where the Core i9 edged ahead by a marginal 2%. Notably, these tests were conducted with the Core i9 housed in a bulkier 16-inch laptop, while the Ryzen 7040HS shone within the sleek confines of a 14-inch laptop, measuring just 0.70 inches in thickness.
AMD’s data also highlights the Ryzen 7040HS’s superiority over Apple’s M2 Pro chip in application performance, outperforming it in popular software such as Blender and Adobe Photoshop, as well as in industry-standard benchmarks like Cinebench R23 and Passmark CPUMark. This aligns with AMD’s strategy of directly challenging Apple’s dominance in the CPU market.
