The first review of a mini PC using AMD’s new Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU has arrived, roughly two months ahead of the expected release of the tiny desktop computer. It’s the Soyo S9 AI mini PC, one of several such products in the pipeline for release. YouTube creator ETA Prime got his hands on a prototype of the computer and put it through its paces.
The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Strix Point CPU in the Soyo S9 AI uses AMD’s new Zen 5 architecture, with a total of 12 cores. Four of those are Zen 5 cores, while eight are slightly denser Zen 5c cores. Testing confirms the new CPU has 16 Compute Units (up from 12), which helps with performance.
