AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS
Hawk Point's six-core option brings Zen 4, a 4nm node and the Radeon 760M to mid-range laptops. High 4.3GHz base clocks make it feel much faster than its core count suggests, and it includes an XDNA NPU for early Windows AI features.
Pros
- Zen 4 cores with an unusually high 4.3GHz base clock
- Radeon 760M is a strong iGPU for the class
- 4nm node gives good battery life for an HS chip
- Includes an XDNA NPU for on-device AI
Cons
- Six cores limit heavy rendering and compiling
- 16 TOPS NPU falls short of Copilot+ requirements
- Multi-core clearly behind the 8-core 8845HS
