AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 160 makes Geekbench debut with intriguing CPU core configuration

AMD only unveiled two high-end Strix Point SKUs at Computex 2025: Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Ryzen AI 9 365. Both have shown up on Geekbench and shown off respectable generation-over-generation performance. Now, a previously-unknown SKU, Ryzen AI 7 PRO 160, has shown up on the benchmarking platform.

It scores 2,514 and 11,772 points on Geekbench 6.3's single and multi-core tests. The former tacitly confirms Zen 5 CPU cores, performs on par with other Zen 5-equipped models. Plus, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 160 boosts at 4.2 GHz. A quick peek at Geekbench's back-end code confirms the chip isn't throttling. However, Geekbench reports that the Lenovo laptop running the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 160 has its 64 GB of RAM rated at just 1,870 MT/s, which is painstakingly slow for DDR5 memory.

The Ryzen AI 7 PRO 160 has an intriguing CPU configuration with eight CPU cores distributed in a 3+5 layout, suggesting it uses a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. This effectively hints the CPU could be a part of AMD's upcoming Kraken Point line of processors and explain why it is called the Ryzen AI PRO 170 and not Ryzen AI 3xx. Or, it could still be using the old Strix Point name before AMD decided to make a last-minute revision.
