Verdict

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is a high-performance 'Strix Point' processor built on a 4nm TSMC process, featuring a hybrid architecture of 12 cores (4 Zen 5 and 8 Zen 5c) and 24 threads with a max boost clock of 5.1 GHz. Key characteristics include a powerful XDNA 2 NPU delivering 50 TOPS for AI tasks and integrated Radeon 890M graphics with 16 RDNA 3.5 compute units. Main pros include industry-leading integrated graphics performance capable of 1080p gaming, a configurable TDP of 15–54W for exceptional energy efficiency, and a significant 16% IPC improvement over previous generations. Cons include high operating temperatures of up to 100°C under heavy loads, a lack of PCIe 5.0 support, and the tendency for systems to use non-upgradeable soldered LPDDR5X-8000 memory to achieve maximum bandwidth.
