AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX: brief and to the point

What it is
Ryzen 7 8745HX is an 8-core/16-thread processor from the Dragon Range Refresh family (Zen 4) for full-size HX-class gaming laptops. In practice, it’s an updated 7745HX with the same key parameters: base clock around 3.6 GHz, boost up to ~5.1 GHz, 32 MB L3, typical power 55 W (often raised to ~75 W depending on the laptop). Memory controller: DDR5-5200 (dual-channel). Integrated graphics: basic Radeon 610M (the platform assumes a discrete GPU).

Performance and competitors
In a well-cooled laptop, Ryzen 7 8745HX typically scores about ~18K in Cinebench R23 (multi) and ~1.8K in single. That positions it on par with Intel’s comparable HX/H-class models. The closest like-for-like competitors by feel and averages are Core i7-13650HX / Core i7-14650HX; in some thinner designs at similar power limits it lands near Core i7-13700H / 14700H. As with any HX chip, results vary with the configured TDP and the cooling capacity of a specific laptop.

Who it’s for

Gaming laptops and mobile workstations with discrete graphics and robust cooling.
Workloads that benefit from stable multi-threaded performance under sustained load.
If strong integrated graphics or a built-in NPU is required, HS-series (Phoenix/Strix) or Ryzen AI lines are more appropriate.

Bottom line
Ryzen 7 8745HX is a reliable HX-class “workhorse”: predictable Zen 4 performance, modern I/O, and comfortable power headroom. If you are choosing a gaming laptop with a discrete GPU and competent cooling, it stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Intel’s nearest Core i7 HX contenders and looks like a confident choice.

PCIe Version

PCI Express is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard used for connecting high-speed components, replacing older standards such as AGP, PCI, and PCI-X. It has gone through multiple revisions and improvements since its initial release. PCIe 1.0 was first introduced in 2002, and in order to meet the growing demand for higher bandwidth, subsequent versions have been released over time.
