AMD's 12-core Zen 5 mobile flagship, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, has debuted on PassMark. The Zen 5-based processor showed competitive performance against Apple's top-of-the-line M3 Max CPU, beating the 14-core variant and approaching the 16-core in the single and multi-threaded scores. The chip surpassed Intel's outgoing Raptor Lake high-performance HX series CPUs, beating the Core i7-14700HX. All comparisons were taken from the multi-core results in PassMark's list of CPU benchmarks.
The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scored 37,699 points in PassMark's multi-threaded benchmark and 4,213 points in PassMark's single-threaded benchmark. The Zen 5 CPU's score barely surpasses Apple's 14-core M3 Max, beating it by 4%. Apple's beefier 16-core M3 Max manages to get ahead of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, but only by 7%, making the Zen 5 CPU extremely competitive with both parts.
