AMD® Ryzen™ 9 7940HS

The AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS is a laptop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Zen 4 architecture (4 nm process). It launched in Apr 2023. Clocks run from 4.0 GHz base to 5.2 GHz boost. A 16-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.1 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 256 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FP7 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (20 lanes). Rated TDP is 35 W. Notable platform capabilities: Neural Processing Unit (NPU), AVX-512, AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.

The AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS scores 3,848 in single-core performance and 29,746 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 10,699 for overall performance, 24,722 for productivity performance, 23,287 for creator performance, 30,490 for engineering performance and 18,981 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,718 per core, 1,859 per thread and 850 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,808. Its performance index is 133, so its overall performance is 33% 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 9 7940HS scores 101,975 in integer math, 62,229 in floating-point math, 359,937 in compression, 21,447 in cryptography, 1,423 in physics simulation, 27,141 in vector SIMD, 90 in the prime sieve and 42,464 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 73% above in integer math, 36% above in floating-point math, 58% above in compression, 87% above in cryptography, 31% above in physics simulation, 75% above in vector SIMD, 34% above in the prime sieve and 87% 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 9 7940HS has 8 physical cores and runs 16 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 4.00 GHz and boosts up to 5.20 GHz.
