More details about AMD's Ryzen AI "Strix Point" CPUs have been coming to light over the past few weeks, and today we got official confirmation of a third Ryzen AI 9 300 Series CPU, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375, to join the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Ryzen AI 9 365. These mobile Strix Point CPUs blend Zen 5 and Zen 5C cores (the exact ratio varies depending on the chip) with onboard XDNA 2 NPUs for AI workloads and an optimized RDNA 3.5 architecture for the new iGPUs.
A recent Zen 5 showcase showed off benchmarks of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, outperforming its contemporaries by a fair margin. While manufacturer-supplied benchmarks should always be taken with a grain of salt, other recent Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 benchmarks lend credence to AMD's official numbers. Since the new Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 slots in directly above the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, this bodes well for the near future of AMD-powered laptops and handheld PCs, though we don't anticipate a dramatic performance difference between HX 375 and HX 370.
