AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Ryzen AI 9 365 unveiled with new CPU cores and GPU

[Redaktion]

AMD has unveiled its next generation of laptop processors, complete with a new naming scheme. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 390 and Ryzen AI 9 365 come with AMD's new Zen 5 CPU cores and a Radeon 800M series iGPU based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture.

Based on those scores, Lunar lake will be easily competitive in gaming. Battelmage is far bigger uplift for graphics than RDNA3.5

Still TSMC 4, while Apple M4 is already on 2nd gen TSMC 3...

Uhm... I wouldn't say "easily". According to the benchmark scores from WCCFTECH a few months ago, the improvement from Meteor Lake was around 40% (in synthetic benchmarks), which is good, but not that much more than those 36% improvement of AMD. And those 36% improvement of AMD are actual games and not synthetic benchmarks (like Intel always does). Add to that the Meteoer Lake iGPU still struggles to keep up with AMD, then it will be - once again - a tough battle to be competitive, and not "easy".

I honestly feel disencouraged to buy anything currently because of the sudden fast developments on Intel and AMD side in the last couple of months. Whereas before with the Intel Iris iGPU and AMD Vega iGPU you had like 3 years without any advancement, and now it's like every 8-10 months Intel and AMD come up with something better than before.

ufff with these new processors new CPU + iGPU + NPU the jump is very big I hope to see this chip in many tablets with MINISFORUM V3 or Surface 10 Pro since I see in these products a promising future to fully exploit artificial intelligence, I look forward to see all the products on the market and have a neutral website make a fair comparison.

So they stick AI in the name, but not a single AI benchmark?

[Neenyah]

Skipping 100 and 200, starting with 300 just to be ahead of Intel 😂 Because higher number is better, naturally, lmao. I have a lot of AMD stuff (GPUs primarily) and I love it, they make excellent tech, but they are true clowns. And adding "AI" to everything, of course. I mean we have "AI" vacuum cleaners, "AI" pencils, even "AI" dildos, so I can't say I'm surprised anymore...

Almost 50% faster in CP2077, sounds impressive.

[base clock]

Surely that must be a typo. 2 ghz base clock on mobile APUs? That's a massive downgrade from 3-4 ghz cores of zen 4 mobile apus.

The last time clock's were nerfed this hard was ice lake and I'm not making that expensive mistake again.

Are zen 5 cores just that much power hungry or is this the cost of cramming more cpu cores, addional CUs and reaching almost 3 ghz gpu clock?

I would say, it's joeover now for x86 except the lack of 256bit/512bit SVE2 on consumer grade arm hardware make it a no go for me.

Will just patiently wait for Lunar Lake I guess and see how that turns out..

[rmcrys]

I'm waiting for these chips, I already own a speedy Legion Go (Z1 extreme) and it does wonders at low TDPs, I can't be more excited to see that this chip goes even further with performance per watt. That boost is great, specially from the GPU which is important for laptop / handheld gaming. A 33% boost over the 780M if at the same TDP it's already a good uplift! From 30 to 40 fps at same TDP (and probably even a little more in some scenerios like with FSR)
