Although the difference is still not critical
The latest Core Ultra 5 125H cannot confidently beat the Core i5-13500H with the same number of cores and the same power mode
The first results of testing the Ryzen 9 8945HS and Ryzen 5 8645HS processors have appeared on the Internet, and the results are surprising. The new CPUs turned out to be not very fast, but still noticeably faster than their predecessors.
As you can see, the Ryzen 9 8945HS is about 6% faster than the Ryzen 9 7940HS, but the Ryzen 5 8645HS is already 11% faster than the Ryzen 5 7640HS.
Considering that the processors have completely identical characteristics and frequencies, the result can be considered excellent. True, if we abstract from such a comparison, then in general this, of course, does not at all entail a transition to a new generation.
In addition, perhaps the improvements only seem to us, and in fact, the new APUs were tested with increased power limits and excellent cooling. As for the iGPU, there is no difference at all.& nbsp;
Recall that the Ryzen 8040 processors actually differ from the Ryzen 7040 only in the significantly improved AI unit (XDNA), which has become 60% more productive.
