Ryzen AI 300 Series: New AMD APUs Appear in CrossMark Benchmark Database
AMD's upcoming Ryzen AI 300 APUs pre-launch leaks continue, the latest coming from the BAPCo CrossMark benchmark database. Two models have been spotted: the officially announced Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and the recently leaked Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, part of the "Strix Point" family, boasts 12 cores and 24 threads. Its hybrid architecture combines four Zen 5 cores with eight Zen 5C cores. The chip reaches boost clocks up to 5.1 GHz, features 36 MB of cache (24 MB L3 + 12 MB L2), and includes a Radeon 890M iGPU with 16 compute units (1024 cores). The Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360, previously leaked as a 12-core part, has now been confirmed with 8 cores and 16 threads. It utilizes a 3+5 configuration of Zen 5 and Zen 5C cores, respectively. The APU includes 8 MB each of L2 and L3 cache, with a base clock of 2.0 GHz. Its integrated Radeon 870M GPU is expected to feature the RDNA 3.5 architecture with fewer cores than its higher-end counterparts, possibly 8 compute units.
According to the leaked benchmarks, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 was tested in an HP laptop, while the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 appeared in a Lenovo model equipped with LPDDR5-7500 memory. Initial scores appear unremarkable compared to top Intel Core Ultra 9 185H and AMD Ryzen 7040 APUs, however, the tested APUs may be early samples, and their performance could differ from final retail versions. Furthermore, while the TDP range is known to be between 15 W and 54 W, the specific power configurations used in these benchmarks remain unclear. The first Ryzen AI 300 laptops are slated for release on July 28th, with Ryzen AI 300 PRO models expected in October.

The AMD 370 has a base TDP of 28 W, although laptop manufacturers are free to increase this up to 54 W.
Yes we will see...
On Desktop, i wouldn't matter much but laptop performance can vary a lot due to cooling and battery life is really important.
The main target of this is Apple M chip and the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X series.
So in the end, if these results are at 15 watt, it's really great. If they are at max power, it's really meh. That is why without the power usage, it's just number in the wilds.
Oh, what useful information. All we do is just working/playing in all sorts of -marks. /s
Strix halo has 40 CU's.

See the vast majoruty of consumers basically have the words "intel" and "laptop" as synonymous in their head, they're interchangeable, so AMD is probably figuring that if they make their naming scheme similar to Intel's, it might aid these uneducated consumers in choosing their product and acting as a shorthand they can understand.
