Every year, the hardware packed inside our most powerful laptop and desktop PCs becomes faster, more advanced, and more compact. Once again, AMD is moving the needle by taking one of its latest innovations to the mobile scale. The AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D is here, and it's the most powerful laptop processor AMD has ever made — and the first time we've seen its unique 3D V-Cache technology in a laptop CPU.
I've had the ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17 X3D (2023) in hand for a couple of days now, and it's the first laptop to use AMD's latest flagship chip. It's a frankly ridiculously powerful mobile PC with a mouthful of a name, and it displays the capabilities of the latest and greatest from AMD and NVIDIA beautifully. While you'll have to wait a while longer for a full review from me here at Windows Central, read on to discover my first impressions of this laptop and the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D, as well as some benchmark scores compared to other laptops Windows Central has tested.
