AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 isn’t just another laptop processor—it’s a statement. As the flagship chip in the ground breaking Ryzen AI 300 series this powerhouse is redefining what thin-and-light laptops can achieve blending raw computing muscle with futuristic AI acceleration.
Designed for creators, gamers, and professionals who refuse to compromise, the AI 9 HX 370 promises to turn your laptop into a portable workstation. Let’s dive into why this chip is turning heads.
Specs That Demand Attention
Built on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture and a 4nm process, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 packs a jaw-dropping 12 cores and 24 threads clocking up to 5.1 GHz under boost. But the real magic lies in its hybrid design:
- Zen 5 Cores: Optimized for single-threaded tasks like gaming and photo editing.
- Zen 5c Cores: Handle background multitasking and efficiency.
- RDNA 3.5 Integrated GPU: Delivers up to 16 compute units for 1080p gaming without a discrete GPU.
- 50 TOPS NPU: A dedicated AI engine that crushes tasks like video upscaling, live translation, and generative AI.
Translation? This chip can edit 4K video while running AI noise reduction on a Zoom call and streaming a game in the background—all without breaking a sweat.
AI That Works While You Do?
The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370’s XDNA 2 NPU isn’t just fast—it’s smart. AMD claims it’s 2.5x faster than its predecessor, enabling real-time AI applications that feel almost futuristic:
- Creators: Adobe Premiere Pro’s “Enhance Speech” tool cleans up audio in seconds, not minutes.
- Gamers: AI frame generation boosts FPS in titles like Cyberpunk 2077 without a dedicated GPU.
- Professionals: Microsoft’s Copilot+ features, like “Recall” (context-aware search), run entirely offline.
“This isn’t about replacing discrete GPUs; it’s about making AI accessible everywhere,” said AMD’s CTO during a demo, showcasing Stable Diffusion generating images locally in under 8 seconds.
While the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 isn’t marketed as a gaming-first chip. Its RDNA 3.5 iGPU punches far above its weight. In early benchmarks. It hit 60+ FPS in Fortnite (1080p/Medium) and 45 FPS in Elden Ring (720p/High)—impressive for integrated graphics. Pair it with a discrete GPU (like an RTX 4070), and AMD’s new “SmartShift” tech dynamically allocates power between the CPU and GPU for max performance.
Cool, Quiet, and (Surprisingly) Efficient
Despite its performance, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 sips power. AMD’s Phoenix 4nm design and adaptive power management deliver up to 14 hours of video playback in laptops like the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 and Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i. Thermals are equally impressive: even under heavy loads, reviewers noted fan noise stayed “library-quiet,” thanks to vapor chamber cooling in premium models.
Premium power comes at a premium price. Laptops featuring the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 start at $1,899, putting them in MacBook Pro 16-inch territory. And while the NPU is revolutionary, developers are still catching up—many AI apps remain in beta.
The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 isn’t just a CPU. Iit’s a glimpse into the future of computing. By merging desktop-grade performance with AI smarts, AMD has created a chip that could finally make “AI PC” more than a marketing term. If you’re ready to ditch the desktop—or just want a laptop that won’t obsolesce in a year—this might be your upgrade.
