Laptop maker GPD has shared a couple of test slides showing the performance of upcoming AMD Ryzen AI processors. The chip in question delivered 36% higher graphics performance compared to its predecessor.
Sitting inside a GPD Duo laptop, the Ryzen AI HX 370 APU managed to reach 124 points in Cinebench’s single-threaded test and 1,525 points in the multi-threaded one. This puts it on par with AMD’s desktop Ryzen 9 7950X in single-core and Ryzen 9 5950X in multi-core. Impressive for a mobile chip using less power at 54W.
The brand has also tested the Ryzen AI HX 370 APU in the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark, resulting in 4,221 points. In other words, the new Radeon 890M iGPU with its 16 RDNA 3.5 CUs is 31% faster than the GPD Win Max 2 housing the 780M. GPD also added that in games the Radeon 890M is even quicker – 36% to be exact. As a reminder, this eclipses the last leak we had about this chip, which is great.
According to the brand’s slides, this uptick in performance allows the new iGPU to climb higher, now eying the RTX 3050 Mobile spot instead of the RTX 2050 Mobile previously. Perhaps even more impressive is that all of this consumes less power. See, that 31% uplift was against a supercharged Radeon 780M system gobbling 72W of power. At a much more reasonable 54W, the 890M widens the gap further to 51%. Nice!
That said, note that the Ryzen AI HX 370 and its Radeon 890M iGPU were paired with 7,500MT/s LPDDR5x memory which can help extract more performance from this chip. However, since AMD Strix Point APUs are expected to come paired with this memory configuration, these results should be true for all users.
