Ryzen AI 7 350: CPU benchmarks and laptop guide

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 brings the Zen 5-era Ryzen AI 300 platform to the mainstream, with 67 matched models in the catalog. An 8-core, 16-thread design on a 4 nm process with the Radeon 860M integrated graphics, it meets the recommended CPU requirement in 68 of the 69 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 7 350 sits in 2026

A catalog score of 87.9 places the chip 22nd of 672 scored laptop CPUs — the top three percent. The neighborhood mixes generations and classes: the Core i7-14650HX (88.2), Core Ultra 5 225H (88) and Ryzen 9 7940HS (88) just above, the Core i5-14500HX (87.6), Ryzen 9 8945HS (87.2) and Core Ultra 9 185H (87) just below. Matching HX-class desktop-replacement processors within a 28 W thin-and-light envelope is the chip's signature: near-flagship throughput at less than half the power draw.

What the chip brings

Krackan Point pairs 8 cores and 16 threads on a 4 nm process, rated at 28 W in its P-class configuration: 2 GHz base, up to 5 GHz boost. The integrated Radeon 860M graphics clocks to 3,000 MHz — unusually quick for integrated silicon and the strongest argument for the cheaper laptops in this roster that skip a discrete GPU. GeekBench places the chip at 2,469 single-core and 11,309 multi-core.

Games: CPU-side readiness

As a processor, the chip clears the recommended CPU tier for 68 of 69 cataloged games — Helldivers 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring and Fortnite included. The single miss is Starfield, which lists the chip above its minimum but just under its recommended CPU requirement. These verdicts are CPU-only — the Radeon 860M carries display duties on integrated-only machines, and actual frame rates in demanding titles depend on whether the laptop adds a discrete GPU and how much RAM it ships with.

Laptops that carry it

The 67-model roster spans 2025–2026 machines at every mainstream price. Gaming: OMEN MAX 16 at $2,075, Legion 5 at $1,716, OMEN 16 at $1,703, Victus 15 at $1,256. Ultraportables: Zenbook S 16 and Zenbook 14 OLED at $1,232, Aspire 14 AI at $1,400, Aspire 16 AI at $900, the Vivobook 14/16 pair at $765. Business is covered by the ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 at $1,284. Roster medians tell the split story: office comfort 100, energy efficiency 87.2, photo and design 84.5 — while gaming index sits at 42.5 because half the fleet leans on the integrated GPU.

Bottom line

The Ryzen AI 7 350 is the best-value ticket into the current AMD generation: top-three-percent processor rank, recommended-tier CPU clearance for everything but Starfield, and a roster that starts at $765. The integrated Radeon 860M makes the cheaper entries genuinely usable without a discrete GPU — rare at this price — while the OMEN and Legion builds turn the same chip into a proper gaming heart.
