It has been filtered out the existence of a processor AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS with the NPU XDNA disabled within the Hawk Point family.
He AMD Ryzen 7 8745HStherefore, it would be an AMD Ryzen 8845HS but without the Ryzen AI NPU activated. This processor would maintain 8 Zen 4 architecture cores at 3.8 GHz with 5 GHz Boost and also the AMD Radon 780M graphics card with RDNA 3 architecture and 12 cores.
The absence of the NPU shouldn’t affect the processor’s conventional performance, and given that the requirements of Microsoft’s Copilot+PCs are already higher than what these AMD NPUs offer, this processor will possibly claim its place in laptops and miniPCs that are left out of the AI craze.
It remains to be seen whether this assumption AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS is launched on the market, as of today there is no official information so we will have to take its existence with a grain of salt.
AMD’s plans for its AI APUS include the new AMD Ryzen AI 300, with a much more powerful 50 TOPS XDNA2 NPU that easily exceeds Microsoft’s requirements for Copilot+PCs.
