When it comes to the Ryzen 9 7940H or 7940HS, everyone should be familiar with it, they are essentially a chip, but they are split in two for marketing reasons. Stepping into 2024, another processor called Ryzen 9 7940HX has come out, achieving the highlight moment of 7040.
Although the Ryzen 9 7940HX seems to belong to the 7040 series codenamed [Phoenix] platform (Phoenix) from the numerical prefix, the suffix of the HX reveals its true identity.
Yes, this chip is actually under the jurisdiction of the 7045HX [Dragon Range] platform, which is essentially a downclocked version of the Ryzen 9 7945HX.
To put it simply, Ryzen 9 7940HX and 7945HX are both directly put into the desktop version of Ryzen 9 7950X after repackaging and putting it into a notebook, using 5nm process technology, Zen 4 CPU architecture, and optional support for PCIe 50, the worst RDNA 2 GPU in the integration family, but it has a full 16 cores and 32 threads, which is more powerful than the 13th generation and 14th generation Core with 32 threads stacked with large and small cores.
The difference between them is that the base frequency of the Ryzen 9 7940HX is 100MHz lower than that of the 7945HX, and the maximum boost frequency is 200MHz lower.
Due to the reduction of the main frequency, the Ryzen 9 7940HX is not as good as the big brother 7945HX in terms of single-core performance, but it is still stronger than the R9 7940H of the Phoenix platform. However, in terms of single-core, the Core platform is more fierce at this stage, and the single-core score of the 14th generation i9-14900HX is still unbeatable.
In terms of multi-core performance, the 90W Ryzen 9 7940HX and the 100W 7945HX are not far behind. At this time, the i9-14900HX was fully suppressed by R9, which is also 32 threads, but it was thrown off a street by the opponent, if you are engaged in a job that values multi-threaded performance, you still need to look for the Ryzen platform in 2024.
At the moment, the ASUS Tianxuan 5 Pro Ryzen Edition is the only new product equipped with the R9 7940HX processor, and it is not known if this chip is exclusive to ASUS. Tianxuan5 Pro Ryzen Edition family,The most cost-effective is the eclipse gray color RTX 4060 version,The current price is 7999 yuan,Magic blue color is noble300 yuan,RTX 4070 independent display version is8999 yuan。 In replacing the 16:10 ratio screen, this generation of Tianxuan 5 Pro is more perfect, with dual display and three modes combined with a 90wh large battery, and the battery life is also the top in the same game book, which is worth everyone's attention.
In addition, now the mechanical revolution Jiaolong 16 Pro7945HX+RTX 4060The price of the version is also 7999 yuan, and the savior R9000P and MSI Thunder Shadow 17 are 8499 yuan, they are all potential competitors of the Tianxuan 5 Pro Ryzen version, you can make a move according to your actual budget, as well as the appearance style, brand, and other factors such as screen size.
