AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370
Meet the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, a standout processor from the Strix Point family that debuted in June 2024. It comes with a mixed core design featuring 12 CPU cores—4 full Zen 5 cores built for high-speed performance and 8 smaller Zen 5c cores focused on energy efficiency. The full cores run at higher frequencies with larger caches, while the Zen 5c cores keep power consumption low. The chip starts at 2.0 GHz and can boost up to 5.1 GHz, giving you plenty of performance when needed.But that’s not all. Alongside its powerful CPU, the HX 370 includes a built-in Radeon 890M graphics adapter based on the RDNA 3+ architecture. With 16 compute units and 1024 unified shaders that can hit speeds up to 2900 MHz, this iGPU handles modern 1080p gaming at lower settings and even supports multi-monitor setups—driving up to four SUHD 4320p60 displays. It also takes care of video encoding and decoding for popular codecs like AVC, HEVC, VP9, and AV1.
Adding to its versatility is a dedicated neural processing unit called XDNA 2. It speeds up AI workloads with up to 50 INT8 TOPS, making it perfect for tasks that require a mix of computing power and smart processing. The processor also supports the latest connectivity standards with PCIe 4 and USB 4, and it works with fast memory options such as LPDDR5x-8000 and DDR5-5600. Under the hood, the HX 370 blends the strengths of Zen 5 and Zen 5c architectures. The Zen 5 cores bring improved branch prediction and a 16% boost in performance over previous generations, while the Zen 5c cores offer a compact, energy-efficient alternative. Together, they deliver performance that rivals a setup of 16 full Zen 4 cores.
Built using TSMC’s 4 nm process technology, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 strikes a smart balance between performance and energy efficiency. With a base thermal design power of 28 W that can be adjusted up to 54 W by laptop manufacturers, it adapts easily to different performance needs. This processor is a versatile and reliable choice for everything from intensive gaming and multimedia processing to cutting-edge AI tasks.
