Ryzen 9 7940HS Details

Ranked #83 in single-core performance with a score of 6725, the Ryzen 9 7940HS delivers impressive per-core efficiency that places it among the top-tier mobile processors. Its single-core strength is particularly notable given its 35W TDP, a hallmark of AMD's Zen 4 architecture, which balances high clock speeds with thermal efficiency. While not the highest performer in the overall rankings, its single-core score outpaces many desktop-grade CPUs, including the Core i9-13900E and Core i9-12900T, indicating strong performance in productivity and single-threaded applications. As of March 2026, this processor remains relevant in the mobile segment, especially for users who prioritize responsiveness and power efficiency in thin-and-light laptops.

The Ryzen 9 7940HS is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, leveraging the Phoenix microarchitecture to deliver 8 cores and 16 threads via Simultaneous Multithreading. It operates at a base frequency of 4.0 GHz and can boost up to 5.2 GHz, a significant advantage for burst performance. The chip integrates 15.259 MiB of L3 cache, with 0.061 MiB of L1 and 0.954 MiB of L2 cache, ensuring fast data access during intensive workloads. Its memory support includes DDR5-5600 in a dual-channel configuration, providing a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, which is crucial for content creation and gaming.

Integrated graphics play a key role in the 7940HS’s appeal, featuring the Radeon 780M GPU with 12 CUs and a max frequency of 2.0 GHz. This allows for capable 1080p gaming and video editing without a discrete GPU, making it ideal for users who want a versatile mobile platform. The processor also supports ECC memory, a rare feature in mobile CPUs, enhancing reliability for professional applications. It includes advanced instruction sets such as AVX-512, AVX2, and AES-NI, ensuring strong performance in scientific computing and encryption tasks.

In multicore performance, the Ryzen 9 7940HS scores 6296, ranking #186 overall—slightly behind its single-core prowess. This suggests that while it scales well, its peak efficiency is more pronounced in single-threaded tasks. Compared to its sibling, the Ryzen 9 8945HS, it trails slightly in both single- and multicore performance, reflecting incremental improvements in the newer model. The processor competes closely with high-end mobile CPUs like the Core Ultra 7 268V and Ryzen Z1, though it falls short of the top-tier desktop and server processors.

Despite being released in early 2023, the Ryzen 9 7940HS remains a strong contender in the mobile space, particularly for professionals and power users who demand high performance in a low-power package. Its combination of high clock speeds, integrated graphics, and support for modern features positions it well for demanding workloads. While it may not lead the overall rankings, its balanced performance and efficiency make it a compelling choice for modern laptops.
