AMD has just unveiled its latest powerhouse for laptops – the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375. This new chip, based on the cutting-edge Zen 5 architecture, is set to shake up the world of mobile computing, especially regarding artificial intelligence tasks.
The announcement came with a bit of drama. Rumors had been swirling for weeks, with leaked benchmarks hinting at a chip that would outperform its predecessor, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. Then, in a classic case of “Oops, did we say that out loud?” HP accidentally spilled the beans by mentioning the chip in connection with their upcoming Omnibook Ultra 14. Talk about stealing your thunder!
But now it’s official, and AMD isn’t holding back on the bragging rights. They’re claiming the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 is the world’s most powerful APU for AI processing. With an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) capable of 55 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second), the competition is in the dust. It’s even outpacing Intel’s yet-to-be-released Lunar Lake chip with a cool 7 TOPS.
Under the hood, this beast packs 12 cores – 4 beefy Zen 5 cores and 8 nimble Zen 5c cores. They’re crafted using TSMC’s ultra-fine 4nm process, allowing them to hit a zippy 5.1 GHz when pushed to the max. And let’s not forget about the generous helpings of cache memory – 24 MB of L3 and 12 MB of L2 – to keep things running smoothly.
But wait, there’s more! The Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 isn’t just about number-crunching. It’s got a game, too, literally. The built-in Radeon 890M graphics, based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture, is giving Intel and Qualcomm a run for their money. AMD claims it’s delivering up to 65% better performance in popular titles like Cyberpunk 2077, GTA V, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
AMD is aiming to dominate the AI and gaming laptop markets with this single chip. If these claims hold up in real-world testing, we might look at a new mobile computing champion. Exciting times are ahead for tech enthusiasts and laptop shoppers alike!
