AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 performance
At first glance, AMD prepared two systems: the more powerful Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and the weaker Ryzen AI 9 365. It was the latter that was to be tested by David Huang. We do not know whether it was an engineering model or perhaps a variant that will be available to users. Despite this, the results are interesting.
AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is to be clocked at up to 5.0 GHz on efficient Zen 5 cores. Tests showed clocks of 4.8 GHz for the Zen 5 units and 3.3 GHz for the energy-saving Zen 5c. It is also worth mentioning that the tested computer was equipped with 32 GB of LPDDR5X 7500 MT/s memory.
David Huang conducted tests in, among others, Geekbench 5 and Geekbench 6. In the first one, the IPC performance increase was 17.6 percent. in the single-core test. In turn, in the newer version, Geekbench 6, the improvement is about 15%. This is in line with what AMD promised at its presentation, they mention an average 16 percent performance increase over Zen 4.
