AMD’s upcoming Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 mobile CPU has been tested in Cinebench R23. It delivers similar performance to a 12-core desktop chip, with enough horsepower to blast through tasks on the go.
Hardware leaker 9550pro has shared a screenshot of a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 mobile chip running the Cinebench R23 test on the social media platform X. The CPU managed to claim 2010 points in the single-core test and 23,302 points in multi-core. This puts it head-to-head with the desktop Ryzen 9 7900, which features 12 cores clocked at 3.7GHz base and 5.4GHz boost. The Ryzen AI was even faster in the single-core benchmark.
Though AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 also carries 12 cores and 24 threads, eight of these cores are of the Zen 5c dense variant, which runs at a lower frequency. To be more specific, this CPU operates at 2GHz base, with up to 5.1GHz boost if the cooling and power allow. Secondly, being a mobile chip, the Ryzen AI gets access to a reduced power budget – 28W by default, configurable between 15 and 54W. The Ryzen 9 7900 on the other hand takes 65W.
While the leaker doesn’t state the power configuration used in these tests, the results are still excellent, even at full power. From there, any reduction in consumption is an extra for these promising chips. Plus, thanks to their Radeon 890M iGPU, they are shaping up to become a gaming powerhouse. Can’t wait to see a gaming handheld powered by one of these.
From its side, AMD claims that the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is 47% faster in Cinebench 2024 than Intel’s Core Ultra 9 185H – a 16-core CPU. These are undoubtedly impressive results that presage great performance on laptops, assuming they hold up during battery-powered operation. Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 should hopefully launch alongside new laptops this month if all goes according to plan.
