The launch of an array of new AMD CPUs is just around the corner. It’s not just the Ryzen 9000 series at the end of the month, but AMD’s latest mobile processors as well, coming in the form of the Ryzen AI 300 series. Yesterday we saw the highest score yet for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. Well, that high score is no longer, as another benchmark emerges online.

Right this moment, AMD calls the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D ‘the world’s fastest mobile gaming processor’ – as you’ll see on their website. While its throne will eventually be taken, we’ve noticed that the HX 370 has come close, despite not strictly being designed with high-end gaming in mind when paired with an integrated graphics solution.

Yet another AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 benchmark leaked online

We first spotted this Geekbench entry via well-known leaker 9950pro on X. They noticed that it managed an impressive multi-core score of more than 15,000, piquing our interest, while a previous test managed just below that milestone.

Both instances feature the CPU paired with Radeon 890M graphics for the upcoming ASUS ProArt laptops, though we’re really looking forward to one of their ROG Zephyrus or TUF gaming models. Regardless, in the table below, we’ve compared these scores with available 7945HX3D benchmarks.

Multi-core1527916439

Comparing the two processors, the HX 370 features a 12-core design, whereas the 7945HX3D boasts a full 16 to enable that higher multi-core rating. With AMD calling the new Ryzen AI 300 Series ‘efficient at their core’, we can see why given the benchmarks. As demonstrated above, the HX 370 comes out on top in terms of single-core performance and really proves these new ‘Strix Point’ APUs are up to the task of powering the next generation of laptops.

Keep in mind that the X3D design of the current flagship aids its gaming performance, whereas the AI 300 series is more productivity-focused for the most part.

ProArt P16 and Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 specs from this benchmark

Taking a closer look at the Geekbench results, we can see what exactly is packed into this upcoming ASUS laptop. The ProArt P16 of course features the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 with Radeon 890M integrated graphics. According to the listing, the base 2.0GHz clock speed can be boosted up to 5.1GHz, while the 12-core and 24-thread design is split into 4 and 8 clusters. Cache is divided into 32KB x 12 for L1 Instruction, 48KB x 12 for L1 Data, followed by 1MB x 12 and 5.33MB x 3 for L2 & L3 cache respectively.

All in all, it looks like we’re in for a big win for AMD, at least while we wait for Intel to respond with their own upcoming mobile processors, codenamed Lunar Lake.
