AMD’s upcoming Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor has shown impressive single-core performance in recent Geekbench 6 tests. The chip scored 2,879 in single-core and 14,888 in multi-core tests on an Asus ProArt P16 laptop with 32GB of RAM. The HX 370’s single-core score beats competitors like Intel’s Core Ultra 7 268V and AMD’s own Ryzen 9 7945HX3D.
However, it falls behind the 7945HX3D in multi-core performance due to the older chip having more cores and threads. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 also has a built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that can reach up to 50 TOPS. This makes it well-suited for advanced tasks like AI processing.
Some features from AMD’s Copilot+ PC branding will come later through a free Windows update. AMD plans to launch its Strix Point CPUs on July 28. At that point, reviewers will do final benchmark tests.
These tests are important for consumers because they show real-world performance data from retail laptop versions. While these early numbers look promising, thorough real-world testing and reviews are needed to confirm AMD’s claims. Once retail units are available, we will have a better idea of how these CPUs perform in daily use compared to rivals.
Ryzen AI’s Geekbench leadership
The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 has also shown notable performance as the fastest Zen5 mobile CPU so far. The 12-core (4 + 8) processor scored an impressive 2879 in single-core and 14888 in multi-core tests.
These scores beat previous averages of around 2778 for single-core and 13524 for multi-core. This shows a big boost in multi-core performance. ASUS is a key partner showcasing this new processor series.
They have put it in their upcoming ProArt P16 laptop model. This laptop, which supports up to a 70W TDP, was used in testing. It showed the upper limits of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370’s capabilities.
While the new Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 doesn’t beat Intel’s Core i9-14900HX, it’s important to note that AMD’s CPU is made for mobile systems. The Core i9 variant is desktop-class hardware in a mobile package. Looking ahead, AMD will keep pushing boundaries with its upcoming Fire Range series using Zen5 cores, which is expected next year.
The impressive scores reflect AMD’s ongoing improvements in its Ryzen lineup. This points to exciting potential for future releases.
