AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 vs Intel Processor 300 Comparison

AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Intel Processor 300 occupy opposite ends of the processor spectrum. The AMD part is a 12-core, 24-thread mobile flagship built on TSMC's 4 nm process, while the Intel part is a 2-core, 4-thread desktop entry chip on Intel's 10 nm node. The recorded benchmark data shows a complete mismatch in compute capability, with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 delivering scores that are multiples of the Intel Processor 300 in every measurable workload.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The gap between these two processors is enormous. In Cinebench R23 multicore, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scores 21761, while the Intel Processor 300 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. The absence of data for the Intel part means all comparisons rely on the AMD side's absolute scores and its percentile standing. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 sits in the 86th percentile of all CPUs, indicating it outperforms the vast majority of processors in the database. The Intel Processor 300 sits in the 50th percentile, a median position, which further underscores the performance chasm.

Looking at the AMD part's raw scores, the Cinebench R15 multicore result is 3409.5, and the single-core result is 306.5. In Cinebench R23, the single-core score is 2018. Geekbench results show 15242 multicore and 2407 single-core. The 3DMark benchmark suite shows a clear scaling pattern: 2179 for 2 threads, 3970 for 4 threads, 6992 for 8 threads, 9365 for 16 threads, and 9725 for max threads. The single-thread 3DMark score is 1153. This scaling shows the processor adding performance as thread counts rise, with the jump from 8 threads to 16 threads being substantial, a gain of 2373 points.

PassMark results confirm the same story. The multithread score is 35148, while the single-thread score is 3973. Integer math hits 122933, floating point math reaches 76892, and extended instructions score 31653. Data compression scores 445719, data encryption scores 22252, random string sorting scores 48723, and find prime numbers scores 126. Physics processing scores 1881. These figures represent the AMD part's complete performance profile, and without any Intel benchmark data in the database, the comparison is one-sided.

The nearest rivals to the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, based on average benchmark scores, are the Intel Core i9-14901E with an average score of 37911 and a delta of 0 percent, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X with 37943 and a delta of -0.1 percent, the Intel Core 5 211E with 37829 and a delta of 0.2 percent, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 with 37804 and a delta of 0.3 percent. The AMD part's average benchmark score is 37904, placing it within a narrow band of these rivals. This means the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 trades blows with desktop-class chips like the Ryzen 7 9700X and Intel Core i9-14901E, despite being a 28 TDP mobile processor.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 wins every category where data exists. Its 12 cores and 24 threads provide massive multithreaded throughput, reflected in the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21761 and PassMark multithread score of 35148. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 9365 and max-thread score of 9725 show that heavily threaded workloads scale well. The single-thread performance is also strong, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2407 and a PassMark single-thread score of 3973, indicating that even lightly threaded applications benefit from the Zen 5 architecture.

The Intel Processor 300, with 2 cores and 4 threads, has no benchmark records in the database. Its 3.90 GHz base clock and 46 TDP suggest a simple desktop processor intended for basic tasks, but the database contains no scores to quantify its wins. The Intel part's 50th percentile ranking places it at the median of all CPUs, meaning roughly half of all processors score higher. The AMD part's 86th percentile places it well above that median. In every workload category, the data points to the AMD processor as the superior choice, and the Intel Processor 300's lack of recorded results leaves no area where it demonstrably wins.

The use-case split is therefore clear. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is suited for intensive multithreaded workloads, content creation, and heavy productivity, as shown by its Cinebench and PassMark results. The Intel Processor 300, based on its architecture and market segment, is a desktop entry processor, but the database does not include any benchmark results to support a specific strength. The Intel part's 50th percentile suggests average performance among all CPUs, but no recorded scores mean no concrete wins can be listed.
