The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 “Strix” APU is making waves after appearing on Geekbench, featured in HP’s OmniBook Ultra laptop. This flagship processor from AMD’s Strix Point series brings forward cutting-edge performance grounded in the Zen 5 architecture, launched just a couple of months ago to cater to high-end mobile computing.
The much-anticipated Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 closely imitates its sibling, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, with identical configurations. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 has already set a high bar featuring 12 cores and 24 threads, paired with Radeon 890M graphics, making it the go-to for numerous premium laptops.
Laptops featuring the Ryzen AI 9 HX 365 are also out there but haven’t gained as much traction as the higher-end models. But here’s the exciting bit—recent leaks hint that AMD is gearing up to outfit new top-tier laptops with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375. This APU essentially matches the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 in specifications, though it has some enhancements in processing capabilities.
In the Geekbench 6 benchmarks revealed by insider @9550pro, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 scored an impressive 2864 points in single-core tests and 15012 points in multi-core tests. While these results mirror those of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, one shouldn’t rely solely on Geekbench for definitive performance comparisons between the two processors.
We have a clearer picture of where the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 stands—it parallels the performance of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, as both share a 12-core/24-thread configuration, base and boost clocks of 3.3 GHz and 5.1 GHz, and identical L2/L3 cache sizes at 12 MB and 24 MB respectively. The TDP and iGPU specifications also remain unchanged. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 consists of 4 Zen 5 cores and 8 Zen 5c cores, along with a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that delivers an enhanced performance of 5 TOPS more than the HX 370.
Targeted primarily at high-performance AI workloads, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 goes a step further with 55 TOPS of NPU performance compared to 50 TOPS on the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, offering a staggering 85 TOPS throughput—maximizing what the Strix Point architecture can deliver.
Gamers and productivity users shouldn’t expect drastic differences in performance, given the unchanged overall specifications. However, for tasks involving sophisticated AI operations, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 is a powerhouse. This chip will soon grace premium laptops, setting a new standard in mobile computing, though the exact release date remains under wraps.
