AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 vs AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data records 15 head-to-head comparisons between the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360. The PRO 360 wins 12 of those comparisons, while the 345 takes 3. The margin of victory, however, is not uniform across all tests, and the two chips trade blows in single-threaded workloads.

The largest single gap appears in Cinebench R23 multicore. The PRO 360 scores 13794 against the 345's 11461, a 16.9% advantage. This is the most substantial delta in the entire benchmark set, and it reflects the PRO 360's additional cores and threads. A similar pattern shows in Cinebench R15 multicore, where the PRO 360 posts 2023 versus 1712, a 15.4% lead.

Integer math shows an 18% gap, with the PRO 360 at 77414 and the 345 at 63475. Prime number finding follows closely at 18.4% (76 versus 62). These are the two largest percentage differences recorded, both favoring the PRO 360. Physics simulation also leans heavily toward the PRO 360, which scores 1257 against 1089, a 13.4% margin.

The PRO 360's advantages extend across several other Passmark subtests. Data encryption shows a 10.9% lead (13264 versus 11814), random string sorting a 10.4% edge (28390 versus 25435), and multithread performance a 9.9% gap (22125 versus 19927). Floating point math favors the PRO 360 by 9.3% (46996 versus 42621), while data compression shows a 7.5% difference (256603 versus 237484). Extended instructions round out the PRO 360's wins at 5.7% (18029 versus 17003).

The 345 does claim two head-to-head victories, both in single-threaded Passmark tests. It scores 3875 in passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread, while the PRO 360 records 3862 in both. The margin is 0.3%, a very narrow lead that suggests near-identical single-thread behavior in these specific workloads. The Cinebench R15 singlecore test is a tie at 271 for both chips, with the delta recorded as 0%. The database credits this as a win for the 345 due to the tiebreak rule, but the scores are exactly equal.

The average benchmark score tells a broader story. The PRO 360 averages 32662 across all recorded tests, while the 345 averages 29461, a difference of roughly 11%. The PRO 360 also sits in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the 345 sits in the 81st. The nearest rivals for the PRO 360 include the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (0.1% behind), the Intel Core i5-14600T (0.1% behind), the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F (0.3% behind), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (0.5% behind). The 345's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X (0% delta), the AMD EPYC 9654 (0.2% ahead), and the Intel Core i5-13500HX (0.7% ahead).

Architecture Differences

The two processors belong to different points in AMD's Ryzen AI 300 family. The Ryzen AI 7 345 uses the Krackan Point codename, while the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 uses Strix Point. Both are built on TSMC's 4 nm process node, and both are listed under the Ryzen AI 300 generation with Zen 5 / Zen 5c core architecture. The PRO 360 explicitly lists its architecture as Zen 5, while the 345 leaves that field unset, but the generation string confirms the same core family.

Core counts differ meaningfully. The 345 has 6 cores and 12 threads. The PRO 360 has 8 cores and 16 threads. This directly explains the multicore benchmark deltas, as the PRO 360 has two additional physical cores and four additional threads available for parallel workloads.

Cache configurations also diverge. Both chips use 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core. The L3 cache, however, doubles from 4 MB on the 345 to 8 MB on the PRO 360. This larger L3 pool likely contributes to the PRO 360's advantages in data-heavy Passmark tests like data compression and integer math.

The integrated GPU differs as well. The 345 carries the Radeon 840M, while the PRO 360 uses the Radeon 880M. The database does not record GPU benchmark scores, so the performance impact of this difference is not quantified here.

PCIe lane counts show a small gap. The 345 provides 14 CPU-only Gen 4 lanes. The PRO 360 provides 16 CPU-only Gen 4 lanes, giving it two additional lanes for expansion devices.

ECC memory support is another differentiator. The 345 does not support ECC memory. The PRO 360 does, which may matter for professional or server-adjacent workloads where memory error correction is required.

The PRO 360 also lists a die size of 233 mm², while the 345 does not have a recorded die size in the database. Transistor counts are unlisted for both chips.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear performance hierarchy between these two mobile processors. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is the faster chip in almost every measurable workload. Its 8 cores and 16 threads give it a substantial edge in multicore scenarios, with Cinebench R23 showing a 16.9% advantage and integer math showing an 18% lead. The PRO 360 also holds a 7.2% lead in Cinebench R23 singlecore, which suggests its higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz provides a real benefit in lightly threaded tasks.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is not without its strengths. It matches the PRO 360 in Cinebench R15 singlecore at 271, and it edges ahead by 0.3% in Passmark's single-thread tests. Its 4.60 GHz boost clock is lower than the PRO 360's 5.00 GHz, yet the recorded single-thread Passmark scores are nearly identical. This indicates that for many everyday single-threaded tasks, the 345 is effectively on par with the PRO 360.

The 345's smaller footprint, with 6 cores and 4 MB of L3, positions it as the lighter option. Both chips share the same 28 W TDP, the same dual-channel memory bus, the same 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, and the same DDR5 / LPDDR5X memory support. The PRO 360 adds ECC support and two extra PCIe lanes, which are meaningful for certain professional workloads.

For users who prioritize multicore throughput, content creation, compilation, or data processing, the PRO 360 is the clear choice based on the recorded data. Its 12 wins out of 15 comparisons and its higher average score of 32662 versus 29461 demonstrate consistent superiority. For users who primarily run single-threaded applications, the 345 offers nearly identical performance at a lower core count, which may translate to different system-level tradeoffs, though pricing data is not recorded in this database.

The PRO 360's 83rd percentile ranking versus the 345's 81st percentile is a modest overall difference, but the per-test deltas show that the gap is concentrated in multicore and math-heavy workloads. The PRO 360 also sits within 0.5% of its nearest rivals, while the 345 sits within 0.7%, indicating that both chips are competitively positioned within their respective performance tiers.
