Arctic readies Senza AI 370 under-desk silent mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370

Arctic is updating its Senza lineup with a new under-desk mini PC model powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU. As with the first model that was powered by a Ryzen 7 5700G APU, the latest Senza mini PC chassis features a central rectangular case that houses the motherboard and all the components, as well as two radiator sections extending on each side of the main case, which help with the passive cooling system. Together with a front panel port extender and the external power supply, the whole ensemble can be attached under the table with a special mounting system.

The 12-core / 24-thread Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor with Zen 5 architecture also integrates the Radeon 890M GPU and a Copilot+-compatible NPU that adds 50 TOPS of compute power. Complementing the APU are 32 GB LPDDR5X-8000 RAM and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.

Port selection is extensive with 2x USB4, 3x USB 3.2 Gen 2 and 2x USB 2.0 connectors, HDMI 2.1 + DP 2.0 video outs, 2.5 GbE jack and audio in/out jack plus an audio combo jack on the port extender. Wireless connectivity is provided with a Wi-Fi 7 + BT 5.4 card.

Compared to the previous model powered by the Ryzen 7 5700G, the new Senza silent mini PC is said to be 50% faster in Cinebench R23, while the iGPU is advertised to be 2.25X faster in 3DMark Time Spy. Moreover, Arctic claims that their Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 implementation is around 7% faster than competitor models, presumably through maximizing the TDP. Even with the higher power consumption, the elaborate passive cooling system integrating 8 heatpipes maintains the APU temperature 17° C cooler compared to the competition.

The Senza AI 370 is available now for €1,199.99 including VAT, but not including shipping.
