AMD’s next wave of laptop APUs just broke cover in a fresh benchmark, and it lines up neatly with earlier leaks. A new Gorgon Point SKU, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, has appeared on SiSoftware’s database, effectively confirming the expected core configuration, clock speeds, and integrated graphics.
Spotted by leaker momomo_us, the listing explicitly names the chip Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, positioning it as a refresh of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 from the Strix Point family. As anticipated, this isn’t a brand-new architecture. It’s still Zen 5 under the hood, but with a touch more oomph where it counts: boost clocks.
Here are the key takeaways from the early benchmark entry:
– Architecture: Zen 5 (Strix Point Refresh, also known as Gorgon Point)
– CPU configuration: 12 cores and 24 threads
– Boost clock: up to 5.25 GHz (up from 5.1 GHz on Ryzen AI 9 HX 370)
– Base clock: 2.0 GHz (unchanged)
– Integrated GPU: Radeon 890M based on RDNA 3.5
– L3 cache: listed as 3x 16 MB on this sample
– Test platform: HP Elitebook X G2a 14-inch notebook
While the iGPU remains the Radeon 890M, the database entry doesn’t confirm its maximum clock on this refresh. Given the modest uplift to CPU boost frequency, a small graphics clock tweak wouldn’t be surprising, but that’s not verified yet.
The Gorgon Point family is expected to roll out as the Ryzen AI 400 series, consolidating successors to today’s Krackan Point chips under one umbrella rather than splitting them into multiple sub-families. That lineup should stretch from compact 4-core/8-thread options all the way up to 12-core/24-thread flagships like the HX 470, broadening AMD’s coverage across thin-and-light notebooks and performance-focused ultraportables.
One intriguing detail in this specific entry is the L3 cache configuration noted as 3x 16 MB. AMD hasn’t confirmed this specification, so treat it as provisional until official documentation arrives.
All signs point to a near-term launch. Based on current chatter, the Ryzen AI 400-series Gorgon Point APUs could arrive early next year, delivering a mild but meaningful refresh over Strix Point with higher boost clocks and the same RDNA 3.5-class Radeon 890M graphics. As always, final specifications and performance will depend on AMD’s announcement and OEM implementations, but if the SiSoftware listing is any indication, the HX 470 is shaping up to be a straightforward, faster-turbo successor to the HX 370 for premium laptops.
