Two upcoming AMD laptop chips, the Ryzen 5 8640HS and Ryzen 7 8840HS, have shown up on Geekbench. The former is a 6-core, 12-thread SKU, while the latter is an 8-core, 16-thread model. https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-7-8840HS-shows-up-on-Geekbench-alongside-the-Ryzen-5-8640HS.775116.0.html
These results are not definitive, we would have to see what memory has been used, motherboard, speed, fan, etc... for everything to be correct, this news is strange to me when I have read in other forums that this new Series 8000 is Zen 4 + Zen 4c and consumes much less and lower temperatures in a space almost half of the previous generation, which leads to being able to perform almost more than 15 hours of activity, something impossible with Intel 13gen 14 gen

You are confusing 8x40 with 8x50 variants.
The 8x40 is just a renamed 7x40, the same way the 7x30 is a renamed 6x00.
Geekbench is a very bad test for x86 processors, it was tailored for Arm.
I don't think that AMD will be able to do something outstanding in 2024, because even the transition to "3nm" compared to "4/5nm" Zen4 Phoenix, as Apple's example has already shown, gives little in reality.
2024 will be a year of even greater disappointments in the PC and laptop market.
This is the year where only Intel will be able to somewhat catch up with AMD and Apple in terms of consumption, but no more, and overall it's boring and of little interest to anyone. Even against the background of Zen4.
Alas, it will be like this; they will increasingly try to sell us "rhinestones" rather than real progress in hardware and new capabilities.

Geekbench is a very good test for any processors because its results correlate very nicely with SPEC. You most probably don't know what it is and why it's a big thing of course, as usual.

Nah, first you will have to google why correlation with SPEC is important.
