AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 Krackan Point APU Cinebench R23 and Cinebench 2024 scores leak online
At CES 2025, AMD unveiled the rest of its Ryzen AI 300 series of chips, codenamed Krackan Point. While they feature a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores like Strix Point, they use an equal number of each, unlike Strix Point. Now, the top-spec Kraken Point CPU, the Ryzen AI 7 350, has been benchmarked on Cinebench by someone on Baidu.
In Cinebench R23, it scores 1,943 and 14,607 points in the single and multicore tests. Its closest Strix Point equivalent is the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360, which scores 1,958 and 13,794 in the same test. Their scores are nearly identical; not surprising given they have more or less the same specs. The Ryzen AI 7 350's lead is more substantial when compared with the Hawk Point-based Ryzen 7 8845HS (1,766 and 16,161).
Next up, in Cinebench 2024, the Ryzen AI 7 350 nets 114 and 820 points in the same tests. Here, the Krackan Point CPU, once again, performs on par with the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 (108/708). But the Ryzen 7 8845HS has an edge in multicore performance (896) but lags in single core (104). This is probably the result of eight full-fat Zen 4 cores on the Hawk Point APU.
The Ryzen AI 7 350 was tested on an Asus Lingyao 16 Air, a China-only variant of the Asus ZenBook S16 unveiled at CES 2025. The APU had a TDP of 28 Watts. Currently, there is no word about when Krackan Point laptops will be available for purchase globally. But, this listing gives us a rough idea of how the Ryzen Z2 Extreme will fare in the real world.
