AMD's flagship Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 CPU was benchmarked in Geekbench 6 with potent results. Initially discovered by HXL on X, the Zen 5 CPU's single-core and multi-core results were high enough to outperform most of Intel's fastest mobile CPUs, featuring the same benchmark results as a desktop Core i5-13600K.

The HX 375 produced a single-core result of 2,864 points and a multi-core result of 15,012 points on an HP OmniBook Ultra Laptop 14 paired with 32GB of DDR5 memory. The Zen 5 chip's results were good enough to outperform Intel's flagship CPUs from its Meteor Lake lineup and almost good enough to surpass Intel's Raptor Lake Refresh mobile flagship.

The Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 was 5% faster than the Core i9-14900HX in Geekbench's single-core benchmark. However, the Core i9-14900HX was 7% faster in the multi-core benchmark. Compared to the Core Ultra 9 185H, the HX 375 lead was much more substantial, 27% faster in the single-core benchmark and 25% faster in the multi-core test.

We don't have official Lunar Lake Geekbench 6 benchmarks yet, but based on some leaked results, the flagship 288V appears to do single-core results in the 2,900 range, which would outperform the HX 375 by a couple of percent. However, multi-core results are generally much worse, in the 10,000 - 11,000 range.

Regardless, the Ryzen AI HX 375 can, at worst, match the performance of Intel's fastest mobile CPUs and, at best, vastly outperform its primary Intel competitors, Lunar Lake and Meteor Lake, specifically in the multi-core results. For a desktop comparison, the HX 375 matches the Core i5-13600K in terms of multi-core performance and the Core i9-14900 in terms of single-core performance.

The Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 is the flagship chip from AMD's Ryzen AI 300 lineup. The chip shares the exact specifications as the HX 370, except for the XDNA2 NPU, which has been improved by 10% and features 55 TOPS of performance rather than 50. Expect to see the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 inside gaming laptops and mobile workstation devices.

    Forbes just pegged an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V at 2773 in Geekbeek 6 single-core on a Dell XPS 13. The 2900 range might be obtainable on the Core Ultra 9 288V?

    This CPU is literally the same as the HX 370, but has a slightly faster NPU so the performance is already a known quantity.

    AMD's Strix Point are quite outperforming Intel's latest and greatest Lunar Lake. The latter might have the edge in terms of power-efficiency (which in part is certaily explained by TSMC's best 3nm process node to date) but AMD's mobile processors have undeniably much improved on their power effieciency as well.
    So, notebooks specifically optimzed for long battery life (e.g. using power-saving LCD panels etc) and which do not have extremely high memory or computational demands, will most likely be best equipped with Lunar Lake.
    However, people who are working on a daily with virtual machines, do have to compile code or need "workstation-like" performance in ther notebook for content creation, will most probably be better served by AMD's Strix Point chips.
