Breaking News: AMD Ryzen AI 300 Achieves Up to 40% Faster Performance!

AMD’s upcoming Ryzen AI APUs made a significant impact at Computex 2024, and we now have a glimpse of their performance from recent Geekbench test leaks. The flagship APU showcased impressive capabilities, boasting not only the highest TOPS for its NPU but also strong desktop-level CPU performance and a significantly enhanced GPU. Let’s explore the details.

The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 was put through two Geekbench tests and one OpenCL test, offering valuable insights into both CPU and GPU performance. During these tests, the APU was identified as the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 170 featuring a Radeon 880M GPU. However, as noted by Wccftech, it appears AMD updated its naming scheme at the last minute—what was previously the HX 170 has now been designated as the HX 370, and its GPU is likely the 890M, not the 880M as indicated.

In the Geekbench 6.3 test, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 achieved scores of 2,544 in single-core and 14,158 in multi-core performance. To put this in perspective, the Ryzen 5 7600 desktop CPU scored 2,739 points in single-core and 12,287 in multi-core tests. This means the APU excelled in multi-threaded tasks while narrowly trailing in single-core performance. Notably, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 features 12 cores and 24 threads, doubling the capabilities of the Ryzen 5 7600. Compared to its predecessor, the Ryzen 9 8945HS, this new chip performs about 20% better in multi-core tasks.

The OpenCL test results were even more impressive. The Radeon 890M GPU scored 41,995 points, comparable to the desktop version of Nvidia’s GTX 1650 Ti or the mobile variant of the RTX 2050. It also outperformed the previous-generation Radeon 780M by a staggering 40%.

It's crucial to note that the new APUs operate without a fixed TDP, ranging from 15 watts to 54 watts. While the exact TDP for this specific chip remains uncertain, if it operates on the lower end of the spectrum, these benchmark results become even more remarkable. Although it's early in the development cycle, AMD seems poised to deliver a significant generational leap with these AI mobile APUs, potentially exceeding performance improvements seen in the desktop versions of Zen 5 processors. Enthusiasts won’t have to wait long to see for themselves, as both the APUs and CPUs are expected to launch in July 2024.
