Ryzen AI 9 365: CPU benchmarks and laptop guide

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 carried the Strix Point generation of the Ryzen AI 300 family into premium laptops in 2024, and the catalog tracks 25 models built around it. A 10-core design with the Radeon 880M integrated GPU, it meets or clears the recommended CPU requirement in all 69 of the games the catalog tracks. This guide covers where the chip sits among laptop CPUs, what it brings to a portable, and which laptops carry it.

Where the Ryzen AI 9 365 sits in 2026

A catalog score of 90 places the chip 16th of 672 scored laptop CPUs — the top few percent of a table that spans two decades of silicon. The neighborhood belongs to gaming-class processors: the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (92.4), Ryzen 7 7745HX (91.5) and Core Ultra 7 255H (91.4) just above, the Core i7-14700HX (89.8) immediately below, and the Ryzen 5 7645HX and Core i7-14650HX (both 88.2) after that. Ranking alongside desktop-replacement HX silicon while staying inside a 28 W-class power budget is the chip's whole pitch — top-table processor performance in a chassis thin enough to actually carry. Its bigger sibling, the HX 370, sits three slots higher, so stepping down to the 365 costs little and calms the cooling.

What the chip brings

Strix Point is a 10-core, 20-thread design on a 4 nm process, rated at 28 W: a 2.0 GHz base clock and up to 5.0 GHz boost. The integrated Radeon 880M runs at up to 2,900 MHz and carries the graphics load in machines without a discrete GPU. Memory support and cache details were not captured for this chip, so the table above sticks to what the catalog verifiably holds: GeekBench results of 2,478 single-core and 12,434 multi-core points.

Games: CPU-side readiness

Measured purely as a processor, the chip clears the recommended CPU tier for 69 of 69 cataloged games. That includes Starfield, whose recommended bar of 88 is the highest CPU requirement in the catalog, along with Helldivers 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, Elden Ring, Alan Wake 2 and Black Myth Wukong — nothing in the tracked list asks for more processor than this. These verdicts are CPU-only — whether a game actually plays well depends on the laptop's GPU and RAM, and part of this fleet leans on the integrated Radeon rather than discrete graphics.

Laptops that carry it

The 25-model roster is all 2025-class, split between gaming machines and slim premium portables. Gaming leads: the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16, MSI Stealth A18 AI+ and HP Omen 17 all sit at $1,440. The portable side runs from the ASUS Zenbook S 16 at $1,232 and the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14 at $1,275 down to the ASUS Vivobook 14 and Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 at $765. Roster medians describe the fleet honestly: office comfort at a perfect 100, energy efficiency 92.4, mobility 68.5 — and a gaming index of 56, because the fleet mixes discrete-GPU gaming machines with integrated-graphics portables.

Bottom line

The Ryzen AI 9 365 is the pick for a premium do-everything portable: every tracked game clears the recommended CPU tier, the efficiency suits thin chassis, and the roster spans $765 slim machines to $1,440 gaming rigs. Buyers chasing frame rates should still check the discrete GPU on the specific laptop first; buyers chasing a quiet, capable daily machine will rarely find the processor to be the limit.
