First AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Geekbench numbers see Zen 5 Strix Point in close proximity to Ryzen 9 7945HX, Radeon 890M fares better than GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q

[Redaktion]

The AMD Strix Point Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 has surfaced on Geekbench courtesy of recently unveiled Asus TUF Gaming A14 and ProArt P16 laptops and first performance numbers seem quite impressive and in line with what we've seen in Zen 4 Dragon Range HX APUs. We also get to see the new RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 890M posting OpenCL numbers exceeding those of a GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q.

The Zen 5 processor comes out practically 5 months before the Intel one, there is no Intel test yet but everyone knows that their iGPUs have always been lower in Performance/W and that Intel chips have always consumed more and produced more heat.
I would love for this website to make a comparison of MINISFORUM V3 vs the latest Surface 10 pro vs Galaxybook4 with Qualcomm

Well... The 7945HX has something that the HX 370 will never have: support for the superior Windows 10.

It seems that with the HX370, AMD will drop support for Windows 10 and only support Spyware 11 (and Linux, which might be the way to go for HX 370 users that are not willing to downgrade from Windows 10 to Spyware 11).

Windows 10 and 11 are essentially the same as to privacy, except that 11 needs yet a few more configuration tweaks. In their defaults, 11 is slightly worse, of course. There is no point in calling 11 spyware but 10 not. Either both or (after configuration effort) neither.

Have you heard of Recall and Copilot? Neither of them are in Windows 10.

That still isn't an argument to point the finger only at Windows 11 and declare only that that as spyware. Especially when it's known that Windows 10 has been spyware since the beginning.

The last Windows without spyware was Windows 7 until SP1. But some updates after SP1 Microsoft also added spyware to it.

The fix to this problem is the same fix as always: disable that new "feature" manually or via 3rd party tools, and then pause any further updates so the configuration can't be broken by sudden new updates. It's either this or you'll have to deal with the annoyances of the linux world.

OK, I'll agree to that. I have to say... Microsoft is doing all it can to make people angry and want to go to Linux, that's for sure...

AMD should be praying that Microsoft does not continue to completely duck up future windows versions. Because as soon as I am forced to switch to Linux, I will quit gaming.

For me multiplayer is all that matters, which is not possible on Linux due to online anticheat. If I can't game anymore, there's no need for me to remain in x86 land anymore.

We know. Thanks to our outcry for years, both will be opt-in / deactivated by default. Of course, they will be further things to regularly check whether Windows updates "accidentally" activate them or their Windows Services.

Yup! That tends to "accidentally" happen to Microsoft every once in a while. Such convenient accidents...

11 is slightly worse, of course

W11 is significantly slower in UI response than W10, I proved this by personal tests of all versions on the same hardware.

As a bonus to encourage people to switch to it, M$ even brought back the analog clock from W7, which is not in W10 even with tweaks.
