AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D spotted on Geekbench

Previously, AMD launched the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D processor, marking the inaugural integration of the 3D Vertical Cache (3D V-Cache) technology into mobile processors. This innovation will be exclusively featured in ASUS ROG’s latest Strix Scar 7 Plus Enhanced Edition, anticipated for a debut on August 22nd. This processor has now been spotted on Geekbench, with its performance benchmarks subsequently revealed.

As indicated by the benchmark results, the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D scored 2783 in single-core and 16080 in multi-core on Geekbench 6. In Geekbench 5, the scores stood at 2146 for single-core and 20074 for multi-core. Compared to the Ryzen 9 7945HX, the 7945HX3D’s single-core performance on Geekbench 5 was virtually consistent, though it exhibited a slight edge in multi-core performance, indicating a modest enhancement.

In summary, the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D’s performance on Geekbench did not exhibit a significant improvement over the Ryzen 9 7945HX. This was not unexpected, given that the 3D V-Cache’s advantages don’t necessarily shine in theoretical tests. In reality, gaming remains its primary domain, where its enhanced cache promises superior performance for enthusiasts.

Spec-wise, the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D closely mirrors its desktop counterpart, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D: based on the Zen 4 architecture with a dual CCD design, boasting 16 cores and 32 threads. Although the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D has a mere 55+ W TDP, which is roughly half the power consumption of desktop variants, it still achieves a peak boost frequency of 5.4GHz. Additionally, it supports PBO overclocking and tuning capabilities, further unlocking its potential. Courtesy of AMD’s 3D V-Cache stacking technology, this processor offers a third-level cache capacity of 128MB, culminating in a combined second and third-level cache volume of 144MB.
