The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 12-core mobile CPU was spotted in another leaked benchmark run, with the new Ryzen 7 part dubbed the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360. As reported by IT Home, both processors were spotted in the CrossMark benchmark. Where the Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 outperformed Intel's outgoing Core Ultra 9 185H processor. However, the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 showed much lower results, beaten by the two-generation-old Ryzen 9 7940HS with accurate core numbers.
Technically, we've already reported on the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360, but in our previous coverage, it was known as the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 160. If you don't know yet, that's what the 100 series was originally supposed to be called. The name of AMD's first generation Ryzen AI lineup, but AMD changed the numbering scheme from 100 to 300 at the last minute. As a result, Ryzen AI 7 Pro 160 and Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 share the same chip.
We now have two confirmations that the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 is an 8-core Zen 5 CPU, with two core clusters with odd counts. One cluster has three regular Zen 5 cores, while the other has five smaller Zen 5c cores. Backing up the 8-core configuration is just 8MB L3 cache and 8MB L2 cache (assumed) and a Radeon 870M GPU, which is suspected to come with 8 CUs (half the core count of the Radeon 890M).
The posted Passmark benchmark results compared four CPUs: the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360, the Core Ultra 9 185H, and the Ryzen 9 7940HS (the image mistakenly labeled the Ryzen 7 SKU).
The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scored a total of 1,713 points, with 1,549 points in the productivity segment, 2,128 points in the creativity segment, and 1,212 points in the responsiveness segment.
The next fastest chip in the group was the Meteor Lake-based Core Ultra 9 185H, with 16 cores and 22 threads. The Intel chip scored 1,693 points overall, 1,549 points in the productivity section, 1,981 points in the creativity section, and 1,391 points in the responsiveness section.
The third fastest chip was AMD's previous generation, the Ryzen 9 7940HS, which had eight Zen 4 cores. Overall, the chip scored 1,623 points, 1,561 points in the productivity section of the CrossMark benchmark, 1,792 points in the creativity section, and 1,369 points in the responsiveness section.
The Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 is at the back of the pack, the slowest of the four CPUs in this benchmark run. The Zen 5 mobile processor scored 1,373 points overall, 1,267 points in productivity, 1,639 points in creativity, and 1,023 points in responsiveness.
| CPUs | Overall score | Productivity Score | Creative score | Response score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 | 1,713 | 1,549 | 2,128 | 1,212 |
| Core Ultra 9 185H | 1,693 | 1,549 | 1,981 | 1,391 |
| Ryzen 9 7940HS | 1,623 | 1,561 | 1,792 | 1,369 |
| Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 | 1,373 | 1,267 | 1,639 | 1,023 |
The results of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 are not surprising. The chip outperformed all other CPUs thanks to its twelve Zen 5/Zen 5c cores. Intel's Meteor Lake Core Ultra 9 185H, despite its large core count, should now be considered a previous generation product. Intel is gearing up to release its Ryzen AI 300 series rival, Lunar Lake, later this year, hoping to close the gap with AMD and its faster Zen 5 architecture.
The Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360's results are more surprising. Earlier, we saw that the chip outperformed the Ryzen 9 8945HS (a newer version of the 7940HS) in Geekbench. Here the story is very different, with the Pro series Zen 5 chip performing significantly lower than the Ryzen 9 7940HS. The 7940HS is 18% faster than the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 in overall benchmark scores.
This shows that we cannot take these results too seriously. The Ryzen AI Pro 360 in this test could potentially be an engineering prototype with significantly lower clocks than its future production counterpart. The performance results aren't surprising, given that the Pro 360 sports half the L3 cache capacity of the Ryzen 7 9740HS. If CrossMark is an L3-sensitive benchmark, this would explain the performance deficit.
