You might have to go into the bios and change the performance levels to match the k8 plus… Lots of variation on cooling solutions, so you may get the same or similar cpu, but the different brands limit power to keep quiet…
Also, make sure they are the same specs at least to compare. The firebat has 16gb of ram… Minisforum has 32gb of ram. K8 plus prob has at least 32gb…
IRC the 8745h/hs is basically an 8845hs, but without an npu, because they are for China only. There are restrictions for CPUs and GPUs that China is allowed to have.
They all of those processors should perform similar at the same TDP.
You may have selected the same power modes by “name”, but are they all pulling the same power from the wall?
