Lenovo's next-gen Ideapad laptop with AMD's Ryzen AI 9 365 "Strix" APU has been tested and ends up 9% faster than Ryzen 9 8945HS.
AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 "Strix" APU Configured Within Lenovo Ideapad Laptop Is 9% Faster Than Ryzen 9 8945HS
AMD's Ryzen AI 300 "Strix Point" APUs have leaked in various laptops and now, we have a new leak that comes from within a Lenovo Ideapad laptop. The laptop was spotted in the Geekbench bench-mark and features 32 GB of LPDDR5x memory. This specific model is titled the "LENOVO 83HN" & based on the motherboard model, we can tell that this would be an Ideapad SKU (LNVNB161216).
The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 "Strix Point" APU is a 10-core and 20-thread part with a boost clock of up to 5.0 GHz, 34 MB of cache, and a Radeon 880M iGPU with a total of 12 compute units or 768 cores. This chip comes with four Zen 5 and six Zen 5C cores. It features the XDNA 2 hardware delivering up to 50 TOPS of AI performance. The AMD Ryzen AI 300 APUs can scale from 15W, all the way up to 54W.
Coming to the performance figures, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 APU scored 2544 points in the single-core and 12,745 points in the multi-core tests. The performance was evaluated using the Balanced mode profile within the operating system. It should also be mentioned that the chip never went above 4.5 GHz throughout its test run which shows that either this Lenovo laptop is using an early sample or it remains to be tuned.
Geekbench 6.3.0 CPU Test (Higher is Better)
The performance numbers indicate a 7% jump in single-core and a 9% jump in multi-core scores versus the Ryzen 9 8945HS. While these are decent gains, we can expect much more performance when the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 runs at its full potential. Also, the TDP will play a major role so if this was conducted at a low TDP in the 15-28W range, then the scores are good but we still expect the final 5 GHz boost clocks to yield double-digit gains.
Regardless, it's great to see that another laptop manufacturer has shown up with its next-gen laptops based on the AMD Ryzen AI 300 "Strix Point" family. So far, we have seen ASUS & Acer laptops in the benchmarks with Lenovo making its entry today. We can expect more laptops to show up in the coming days as we approach the launch which is now scheduled for 28th July.
