Ryzen AI 9 HX 370: CPU benchmarks and laptop guide

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is the flagship of the 2024 Strix Point generation in the Ryzen AI 300 family, and one of the highest-ranked laptop CPUs in the catalog. Twenty-three models carry it, spanning gaming machines, workstations and premium convertibles. Measured as a processor 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, and which laptops carry it.

Where the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 sits in 2026

A catalog score of 92.4 places the chip 13th of 672 scored laptop CPUs — the top two percent. The neighborhood is desktop-replacement territory: the Core i9-14900HX (94), Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 (93.6) and Ryzen 9 7845HX (93.4) just above, the Ryzen 7 7745HX (91.5), Core Ultra 7 255H (91.4) and Ryzen AI 9 365 (90) just below. The Core i9-14900HX two ranks ahead is a gaming-brick processor, and the HX 370 matches pace within two points from a much leaner power envelope — that trade is the chip's whole story, flagship-adjacent numbers in a chassis a commuter can carry.

What the chip brings

Strix Point's flagship is a 12-core, 24-thread design on a 4 nm process, rated at 28 W in its HX configuration: a 2.0 GHz base and up to 5.1 GHz boost. The integrated Radeon 890M 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 2,599 single-core and 13,375 multi-core points.

Games: CPU-side readiness

Measured purely as a processor, the chip clears the recommended CPU tier for all 69 cataloged games — including Starfield, whose recommended bar of 88 is the highest CPU requirement in the catalog, plus Helldivers 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, Black Myth Wukong and Ghost of Tsushima. No tracked title asks for more processor than this. These verdicts are CPU-only — actual playability depends on the laptop's GPU and RAM, though most of this roster carries the discrete graphics to make use of the headroom.

Laptops that carry it

The 23-model roster is 2025-class and skews toward serious hardware. Gaming machines lead: the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 and G16, the MSI Stealth A16 AI+ and A18 AI+, and the Gigabyte Aero X16 all sit at $1,440. Workstations follow: Lenovo's ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 AMD and P16s Gen 4 at $1,760. The convertible side runs the Dell Pro 13 and 14 Plus 2-in-1 at $1,275, with the ASUS Zenbook S 16 at $1,232 rounding out the band. Roster medians describe the fleet honestly: gaming index 72 with a median discrete-GPU score of 69.6, modeling and CAD indices at 94, office comfort at a perfect 100, energy efficiency 94.1 and mobility 74 — powerful machines that stay carryable.

Bottom line

The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is the pick when the processor itself matters most: the whole tracked game catalog clears the recommended CPU tier, and the roster pairs it with discrete GPUs and workstation build quality from $1,232 to $1,760. Buyers pay a premium over the sibling Ryzen AI 9 365 three ranks down; the medians suggest the step buys graphics and workstation capability in the surrounding laptops as much as the chip itself. For CPU-bound work on the move, it sits 13th of 672 — near the top of what the catalog scores in any weight class.
