2023 looks to be a good year for laptops, and AMD is definitely not far behind. The company has just introduced a range of Zen 4 parts aimed at the world’s best gaming laptops, with the new Ryzen 7045 series.
These are not to be confused with other recent AMD laptop releases such as the Ryzen 7020 line; yes, the AMD laptop brand is a mess right now. While those chips are pretty much just parts of Zen 2, these new iterations from AMD are full-blown, performance-packed Zen 4 CPUs like you might get in desktops.
There are four different CPUs in this range, including the Ryzen 9 7945HX, Ryzen 9 7845HX, Ryzen 7 7745HX, and Ryzen 5 7645HX. All of these chips are similar, spec-wise, to AMD’s best desktop CPUs, with the Ryzen 9 7945HX coming with a full suite of 16 cores and 32 threads, with clock speeds of up to 5.4GHz. They’re not low-power parts, with TDPs ranging from 45W to 75W, so you can expect these CPUs to be used in heavily-cooled gaming laptops.
One of the features this chip will put front and center is AI, which was the hottest trend of 2022 and is sure to be even bigger in 2023. These new chips come with what AMD calls Ryzen AI, the first hardware from Dedicated AI on an x86 Chip, delivering faster real-time AI performance on Ryzen PCs. AMD says that its dedicated AI hardware allows its chips to outperform Apple’s M2 CPU in AI performance while being even more power efficient.
Ryzen 7045-powered laptops will come from brands like Alienware, Lenovo, MSI, and ASUS starting in February.
