Max turbo power is not the same on both, 30 W on the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U versus 54 W on the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS.
Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U vs Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS: which one fits your build
The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U is the one to take for mainstream desktop builds and everyday productivity, though it is the wrong buy for extreme overclocking (unless K/X-series) and workstation-class multi-threaded workloads. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS suits mainstream desktop builds and everyday productivity, though it is not built for extreme overclocking (unless K/X-series) and workstation-class multi-threaded workloads.
Where the two are identical
Where they agree, they agree completely, total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and p-core boost clock included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 22 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the L3 Cache the same on the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U and Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS?
It is. Both are listed at 16 MB, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
