Both AMD Strix Point APUs, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 & Ryzen AI 9 365, have been leaked in the latest benchmarks with even better performance results.
AMD Strix Point APUs Showcase Even Better Performance Than The Last Leak In Latest Benchmarks, Both Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 & Ryzen AI 9 365 Tested
New benchmarks of AMD's upcoming Strix Point APU benchmarks have leaked within two new laptop configurations. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 was running within the ASUS ProArt P16 while the Ryzen AI 9 365 was running within the Acer Swift SF14-61 laptop. Both chips are still based on ES silicon so the final results for both should be much better. There's no word on the TDP but we can expect them between 28-54W. So let's start with the specifications of the two chips first before we move over to the benchmarks.
The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU is part of the Ryzen AI 300 "Strix Point" family and features a 12-core and 24-thread chip that features a four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5C configuration. This chip runs at up to 5.1 GHz boost clocks, offers 36 MB of cache (24 MB L3 + 12 MB L2), & the Radeon 890M iGPU with 16 compute units or 1024 cores. So versus the previous flagship, the Ryzen 9 8945HS, you are getting 50% more cores/threads, 33.3% more compute units, & 3.12x the NPU performance which is great gen-over-gen gains.
The second chip is the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 which is a 10-core and 20-thread part with a boost clock of up to 5.0 GHz, 34 MB of cache, and a Radeon 880M iGPU with a total of 12 compute units or 768 cores. This chip comes with four Zen 5 and six Zen 5C cores. Both Strix APUs pack the same level of NPU capabilities with their XDNA 2 hardware delivering up to 50 TOPS of AI performance.
Note - Before getting into the performance figures, it should be stated that the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 silicon reached a maximum boost clock of 4521 MHz which is much lower than its official 5.10 GHz boost while the Ryzen AI 9 365 peaked out at 4414 MHz which is also lower than its official 5.0 GHz boost clock. The lower boost clocks across all cores lead to much lower MT performance but it looks like the architectural improvements still yield some impressive figures against the current line of CPUs.
Geekbench 6.3.0 CPU Test (Higher is Better)
In terms of performance, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 "Strix Point" APU scored 2833 points in the single-core and 14,773 points in the multi-core tests. These are the highest recorded results in the Geekbench benchmark so far for this particular chip and put it ahead of all Intel and AMD CPUs in terms of single-threaded score.
Strix Point Vs Meteor Lake:
- Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (ES) vs Core Ultra 185H - +26% ST / +22% MT
- Ryzen AI 9 365 (ES) vs Core Ultra 185H - +22% ST / +08% MT
Strix Point Vs Hawk Point:
- Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (ES) vs Ryzen 9 8945HS - +19% ST / +25% MT
- Ryzen AI 9 365 (ES) vs Ryzen 9 8945HS - +14% ST / +11% MT
The Ryzen AI 9 365 scored 2730 points in single-core and 13,032 points in the multi-core tests and given the clock speeds it was running at, we can expect the final numbers to be much better and closer to what the HX 370 scores while the flagship itself should sit in the 15K+ multi-thread score range.
The final silicon should have all the capabilities to come close to the desktop-grade Ryzen 9 7900X which is a 12-core chip with much higher clocks and TDPs of up to 170W. A mobile chip with a TDP maxing out at 54W and a much lower boost clock coming close would be a major deal and not just that, the chip also sits comfortably ahead of Intel's fastest Meteor Lake chips with over 20% faster performance so it looks like Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake CPUs have a lot of catching up to do once they arrive around the September time frame.
AMD's Strix Point APUs launch next month for retail availability so stay tuned for some exciting products within the laptop, Mini PC, and handheld PCs segment.
