AMD has added a new Strix Point CPU called Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 with a powerful NPU that promises to revolutionize the field of artificial intelligence.
According to Wccftech, AMD has added a new Strix Point-based laptop chip called the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 to the Ryzen AI 300 lineup.
With powerful performance and especially the extremely impressive NPU (Neural Processing Unit - a specialized neural processor responsible for processing AI-related tasks), this product promises to bring a revolution in the field of artificial intelligence.
The name of this processor suggests that it is a more powerful version of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, but the difference between the two is much smaller, with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 having an NPU rated at 55 TOPS, as opposed to 50 TOPS on the HX 370.
The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 "Strix" has 12 cores (4 Zen 5 + 8 Zen 5C), 16 threads, 24MB of L3 cache, and 12MB of L2 cache. The chip has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz.
In terms of graphics, this processor has an AMD Radeon 890M iGPU with 16 compute units, clocked at 2900 MHz. These parameters are basically quite similar to the previously introduced AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. However, the most important difference of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 lies in the NPU.
The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 "Strix" comes with the same XDNA 2 "Ryzen AI" engine as the other Ryzen AI 300 series CPUs but with a slight speed boost to hit a record 55 AI TOPS.
That's 10% faster than the standard Strix chip, which maxes out at 50 TOPS, 15% faster than Intel's Lunar Lake (48 TOPS NPU), and 22% faster than Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite (45 TOPS NPU). That makes the NPU on AMD's Strix APUs the fastest NPU available.
HP's OmniBook Ultra laptop line is equipped with AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 processor chip
With the launch of the 375 chip, AMD's Ryzen AI 300 Strix has proven itself to be a leader in the AI PC segment. HP has adopted the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 APU in its latest OmniBook Ultra laptop, and we can expect more laptops to feature this CPU in the future.
