AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370

The Kacbu decision box currently says WAIT for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370: either the model has been on the market long enough that a successor may be near, or owner data is weak. The reasons are in the decision box at the top of this page.

Yes, more genuinely than any integrated graphics before it. Sixteen compute units paired with LPDDR5X-7500 memory handle current games at 1080p with reduced settings, and older or lighter titles comfortably. It will not replace a discrete RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, but it removes the need for one in a thin machine.

It runs AI features on the device instead of in the cloud: live translation, background effects in video calls, image generation and Windows Copilot+ features like Recall. Crossing Microsoft's 40 TOPS threshold is what makes those features available at all — below it they simply do not run.

Different jobs. The 275HX has twice the core count and far higher sustained throughput for rendering and compilation, but draws up to 160W and needs a heavy chassis. The HX 370 runs at 28W, keeps far better battery life, has much stronger integrated graphics and a real NPU. Thin-and-light with AI features leans AMD; desktop-replacement power leans Intel.
