The first benchmarks of AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 "Strix Point" APU have leaked and they show some big uplifts in both CPU & GPU performance with Zen 5 & RDNA 3.5 cores.
Well that didn't take so long, AMD's first unofficial benchmarks of its upcoming Ryzen AI 300 APUs have started to leak out and they are very impressive in their first showcase. The chip in question is the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 which is a very big and confusing name for some but we have to get used to it as both Intel and AMD will be going into the AI branding route in the future and we might see better naming schemes in the future, hopefully. So let's start with the specifications.
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, and 3.12x the NPU performance which is great gen-over-gen gains.
Coming to the Geekbench leak, it looks like we are looking at an early sample considering that while it matches the 2.0 GHz base clock, the log file shows a boost clock of around 4.2 GHz which is below its highest-rated clock rate of 5.1 GHz.
