AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS vs Apple M1 (7-GPU)

The Apple M1 (7-GPU) was designed as a system-on-a-chip for a wide range of users who value mobility. It is manufactured using a 5 nm process with an eight-core architecture.

The internal configuration includes 16 MB of Level 2 cache, while a Level 3 cache is missing. In common benchmarks, the chip achieves good single-core performance but falls behind in multi-core performance. The integrated Apple M1 (7 Core) graphics unit is suitable for office tasks and video playback, but is hardly designed for graphically demanding games.

A key aspect is the low heat generation, which keeps the thermal design power very low. The price-performance ratio is attractive for users looking for a silent system. This processor is primarily recommended for everyday office work and web browsing. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS uses the Hawk Point architecture and is aimed at users who require higher computing power.

Manufactured in a 4 nm process, the processor provides eight cores and sixteen threads. It has a combined cache of 8 MB Level 2 and 16 MB Level 3. In multi-core performance, this chip clearly outperforms its competitor, and the single-core performance is also higher in specific tests. For games, the AMD Radeon 780M is significantly better suited, as it offers higher raw performance.

The thermal design power is variable and requires active cooling to maintain stable computing power. Compared to the price, the system offers a lot of computing power for creative work and games. This processor should be the choice for computationally intensive applications.
