AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 12-Core “Strix” APU is 46% Faster Than Ryzen 9 8945HS & 38% Faster Than Core Ultra 9 185H

AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, the fastest Strix APU, has been tested in Cinebench, showcasing huge multi-threaded uplifts versus Meteor Lake & Hawk Point.

AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 "Strix" APU Delivers A Massive 46% Uplift Versus Meteor Lake In Cinebench Benchmark

AMD's first Ryzen AI 300 laptops are expected to hit retail later this month & it looks like everyone is prepping for the launch. The two main chips that will be part of the Ryzen AI 300 family are the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Ryzen AI 9 365. These are the two chips that have been announced so far but we have also spotted various other SKUs in the standard and PRO flavors. With that said, we have a new benchmark today, once again showcasing some brutally fast multi-threaded performance.

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.

The performance numbers in Cinebench R23 come from HXL (@9550pro). The leak shows the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 listed within the test. There's no mention of what power limit, TDP, or laptop it was tested in. These are all important metrics for mobility chips as they can affect performance by a huge margin. TDP doesn't matter if there's not enough cooling to sustain over 54W+ power limits and that results in huge clock and performance regression. It looks like these scores could've been done on a high-end laptop with proper cooling since HXL also shared another test result with lower scores than
