ASUS ProArt P16 with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 up to 70W
The fastest Zen5 mobile CPU yet.
The AMD Ryzen AI 300 series is rumored to launch on July 28th. However, the company has not confirmed the release date or how many laptops will be available on day one. One of the key partners for this launch is ASUS, which was featured prominently during the announcement of the new APU series.
One such laptop is the next-gen ProArt P16, which will feature the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor. This top-tier model in the new series boasts a total of 12 cores (4 + 8). It appears that one of the reviewers or influencers who received the laptop ahead of the launch has tested the CPU using Geekbench software, following ASUS’s distribution of dozens of units for promotion last month.

The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor achieved a score of 2879 (single-core) and 14888 (multi-core) in Geekbench, which is the highest score recorded for this CPU so far. Most previous scores averaged around 2778 (single-core) and 13524 (multi-core), indicating a noticeable improvement in multi-core performance with this new result.

When discussing the Ryzen AI 300 series, it is crucial to mention the TDP (Thermal Design Power). AMD’s new CPUs will operate within the 15 to 54W power envelope. It’s likely that the ProArt model used its maximum TDP, while more lightweight laptops like the Zenbook or Swift 14 might use lower power settings, hence the difference in reported scores. Officially, the P16 can support up to 70W TDP:

The current standing based on official Notebookcheck review data shows that HX 370 may not be as fast as Core i9-14900HX, but this shouldn’t be totally surprising considering this SKU is actually a desktop-class on a mobile package. AMD is yet to announce its Fire Range series with Zen5 cores possibly next year. In the meantime, the “mainstream” part seems to be doing well.
