The latest benchmarks of AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 "Strix Point" APU have leaked and showcase some strong Zen 5 single-core performance.
The first AMD Ryzen AI 300 "Strix Point" APUs based on the Zen 5 core architecture are just a few weeks away from launch and as we move closer, we are getting some new performance leaks. This time, we have two new entries within Geekbench 6 featuring the ASUS Zenbook S16 and ASUS TUF Gaming A14 laptops which have been configured with the top Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU.
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.
It looks like Geekbench 6 has a little bit of trouble with the early engineering samples but the score itself points out that the chip is the real deal. The Zenbook S16 scored 2795 points in single-core & 14,124 points in the multi-core test while the ASUS TUF Gaming A14 scored 2816 points in single-core and 12,916 points in the multi-core test. While the multi-core scores are on point with the different TDP configurations of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU, the single-core scores see a vast improvement over the previous entries. Following is how the two scores stack up against some of the other chips:
