AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Strix Point APU showcases flagship-beating single-core performance in Geekbench 6
AMD’s Strix Point APU lineup currently consists of two chips: The Ryzen AI 9 365 and the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. As suggested by the name, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is the more powerful of the duo with 12 Zen 5 cores and a boost clock of 5.1 GHz. So far, leaks have suggested that the chip could be a beast of a performer with single-core performance in line with the desktop Ryzen 9 7950X and a Radeon 890M iGPU that brings entry-level desktop dGPU performance.
Giving us another look at the performance of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, an ASUS ProArt P16 notebook has been tested with Geekbench 6.3. Since the notebook was unveiled at Computex 2024 and official availability is on the horizon, we can assume that the numbers put up by the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 this time around are close to what we’ll get from retail samples.
AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 shows strong single-core performance
Unsurprisingly, the latest Geekbench 6 entry for the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 confirms past reports regarding the chip's single-threaded excellence. The APU netted a score of 2,879 in the single-core and a score of 14,888 in the multi-core test, both of which are better than a Geekbench 6 run from June.
Per the Geekbench database, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370’s single-core score is better than both the Core i9-14900HX and the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D by about 4.4% and 2.1% respectively.
Moving on to the multi-core result, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370's score is 6% slower than the Ryzen 9 7945HX, 9% behind the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D, and 8% less than the Core i9-14900HX.
While the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 appears to fall behind the flagship Zen 4 and Intel 14th-gen mobile chips in the Geekbench 6.3 multi-core test, it is important to remember the power budget of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. The APU can be configured between 15 - 54 W while the chips mentioned here have a base TDP of 55 W and can go as high as 75 W (Ryzen 9 7945HX/X3D) and 175 W (Core i9-14900HX).
That said, we can’t say anything certain about the power consumption of the Ryzen AI HX 9 370 under discussion as the ASUS PortArt P16 supports up to 70 W TDP for the CPU which is much higher than the rated TDP of the APU.
Thankfully, the wait is almost over and we’ll find out the actual capability of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 in detailed our notebook reviews soon.
