AMD's Ryzen 9 7940HX and 7840HX for laptops will arrive this year
The AMD Ryzen 7045HX series, also known as Dragon Range, is expected to be a series of CPUs that mix desktop features such as power, and laptop features such as energy efficiency. They will use Raphael chips in a mobile package. In that Dragon Range series, the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX and 7840HX models hope to be among the top of the range, for laptops focused on gaming.
These CPUs will have configurations of up to 16 Zen 4 cores for laptops intended to power cutting-edge games. That would mean an increase in multithread performance compared to the previous generation. It should be said that there would be an increase in the TDP compared to the main series; which had a TDP of 45 W; which in the HX line would increase to a TDP of 55 W.
AMD's new top-of-the-range laptop processors would arrive this year in the form of the Ryzen 9 7940HX and 7840HX
The flagship is expected to be the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D processor, which has 64 MB of 3D V-Cache for a total of 128 MB of L3 cache, according to the Kitguru portal. If it could be a monster and highly demanded by all laptop manufacturers, the distribution of this CPU is expected to be limited to specific devices. AMD could have some more high-core Dragon range CPUs on its roadmap, for other slightly more restrained devices, but still very powerful in the field of gaming laptops.
According to Golden Pig Upgrade, AMD plans to launch two more CPUs in that range: the 9-core Ryzen 7940 16HX and the 9-core Ryzen 7840 12HX. Both are expected to have lower clock speeds than the current 7945HX and 7845HX variants. But the TDP, R610M iGPU with 2 CUs and the amount of cache should remain the same.

According to the source, the use of the Ryzen 7000 branding indicates that they will go on sale in 2023, but without confirmation from AMD, this is just a guess. The expectations of coming out this year are met, the laptops that include them would be ideal products for the Christmas campaign, as self-gifts or as a great gift to gamers or people who work at home who, according to purchasing habits monitoring, They usually quickly renew the system they have acquired during the pandemic because they have skimped on the budget or underestimated their expectations
