AMD® Ryzen™ 7 8840HX

The AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX is a laptop processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, built on the Zen 4 architecture (5 nm process). It launched in Apr 2025. Clocks run from 2.9 GHz base to 5.1 GHz boost. A 64-MB L3 cache backs the cores (6.4 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 64 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FL1 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (28 lanes). Rated TDP is 55 W.

The AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX scores 3,945 in single-core performance and 42,959 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 13,018 for overall performance, 33,446 for productivity performance, 30,728 for creator performance, 46,718 for engineering performance and 22,575 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,580 per core, 1,790 per thread and 781 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,755. Its performance index is 161, so its overall performance is 61% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX scores 148,697 in integer math, 89,216 in floating-point math, 517,863 in compression, 31,133 in cryptography, 2,205 in physics simulation, 38,173 in vector SIMD, 319 in the prime sieve and 60,485 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 152% above in integer math, 94% above in floating-point math, 127% above in compression, 171% above in cryptography, 102% above in physics simulation, 146% above in vector SIMD, 376% above in the prime sieve and 167% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX has 12 physical cores and runs 24 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.90 GHz and boosts up to 5.10 GHz.
