AMD Tech Day | AMD reveals more Strix Point benchmarks and AI-powered features

This time, AMD focuses exclusively on the top-spec Snapdragon X Elite variant (X1E-84-100) and the Meteor Lake-based Intel Core Ultra 9 185H. Interestingly, the graph (provided by AMD) shows the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 lags behind Qualcomm's flagship.

In other productivity tests such as PCMark, Handbrake, and Blender, it is between 1.2x and 3.8x faster than Meteor Lake. The trend continues in other productivity benchmarks, although AMD's lead is a lot less impressive this time around, with it being up to 1.3x faster than the Core Ultra 9 185H and Snapdragon X Elite in PCMark 10, Procyon and Kraken. 

AMD's gaming testing reveals many popular titles such as Far Cry 6 and Assassin's Creed Mirage flat-out refused to run on the Snapdragon X Elite, presumably due to Ubisoft Connect not playing nice with the platform. In games that did run, the Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 trounced both Intel and Qualcomm by up to 65% in Cyberpunk 2077.

Laptops with Strix Point CPUs will come with AI-powered features like real-time captions, translations, and co-creator in Windows Paint. Microsoft Recall is advertised, too, but that has been pushed back indefinitely due to ongoing issues with privacy.

AMD also showed off some OEM-specific apps, such as Acer LiveArt, Asus Storycube and HP AI Companion. More information about their features should be revealed alongside Strix Point laptop launches. Lastly, AMUSE 2.0 beta will also launches on July 28. Currently, it is exclusive to the Asus VivoBook S16 and it transforms your doodles into real-world images.
