AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 vs Intel Processor U303L Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Intel Processor U303L occupy very different positions in the database. The AMD part records an average benchmark score of 37904, placing it in the 86th percentile of all CPUs tracked. The Intel Processor U303L, by contrast, sits at the 50th percentile with no individual benchmark scores recorded. Direct head-to-head measurements are absent from the database, so the comparison relies on the AMD chip's extensive benchmark history against the Intel part's lack of recorded test data.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21761, a figure that reflects its 12 cores and 24 threads. Single-core performance in Cinebench R23 reaches 2018. In Geekbench, the AMD chip records 15242 multi-core and 2407 single-core. The 3DMark suite shows scaling from 1153 in the single-thread test up to 9725 at maximum threads, with intermediate results of 2179 at 2 threads, 3970 at 4 threads, 6992 at 8 threads, and 9365 at 16 threads. PassMark results include a multi-thread score of 35148, single-thread of 3973, integer math of 122933, floating-point math of 76892, and extended instructions of 31653. Data compression in PassMark reaches 445719, while encryption scores 22252. Prime number finding records 126, random string sorting 48723, and physics 1881.

The Intel Processor U303L has no recorded benchmark entries in the database. This absence prevents any direct numerical comparison of performance deltas. The database shows the AMD chip's nearest rivals instead: the Intel Core i9-14901E averages 37911 with a delta of 0 percent, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X averages 37943 with a delta of -0.1 percent, the Intel Core 5 211E averages 37829 with a delta of 0.2 percent, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 averages 37804 with a delta of 0.3 percent. These figures indicate the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 sits within a tight cluster of similarly performing processors, all within roughly a third of a percent of each other. The Intel Processor U303L does not appear in any rival list.

FAQ

Q: What is the launch MSRP of the Intel Processor U303L?

A: The Intel Processor U303L has a launch MSRP of $285. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 has no launch MSRP listed in the database.

Q: Which processor has a higher TDP?

A: The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 has a TDP of 28 watts. The Intel Processor U303L has a TDP of 15 watts.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is the higher-performing part by every recorded measure, with a 86th percentile ranking, a 12-core, 24-thread configuration, and benchmark scores that place it alongside the Intel Core i9-14901E and AMD Ryzen 7 9700X. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 21761 and Geekbench multi-core of 15242 indicate strong multi-threaded capability. The 3DMark thread scaling from 1153 single-thread to 9725 max-threads shows consistent gains as thread counts rise, which points to efficient utilization of its 24 threads.

The Intel Processor U303L cannot be assessed on raw performance from the database because no benchmark scores are recorded for it. Its 50th percentile ranking and 5-core, 6-thread configuration suggest a more modest position in the overall CPU landscape, but the lack of test data prevents any quantitative performance claims. What can be stated is the structural difference: the AMD part offers more than double the cores and four times the threads of the Intel part. The TDP figures reinforce the positioning, with the AMD chip at 28 watts and the Intel chip at 15 watts.

Users who need the highest available multi-threaded throughput in this pairing should select the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 based on the recorded scores. Users constrained to the Intel part will find a lower-power processor with a 50th percentile standing, but the database provides no benchmark evidence of its performance capabilities. The choice between them is effectively a choice between a fully measured high-percentile processor and an unmeasured mid-percentile processor.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every major specification field. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 uses 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel Processor U303L uses 5 cores and 6 threads. Base clocks are 2.00 GHz for AMD and 1.20 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are 5.10 GHz for AMD and 2.60 GHz for Intel. TDP is 28 watts for AMD and 15 watts for Intel.

Sockets differ: AMD uses AMD Socket FP8, Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. Memory support differs as well: the AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth is listed at 89.6 GB/s for AMD, with no figure recorded for Intel. PCIe lanes are Gen 4 with 16 lanes for AMD, versus Gen 4 with 8 lanes for Intel. Integrated graphics differ: Radeon 890M for AMD, UHD Graphics 96EU for Intel. Release dates are 2024-06-30 for AMD and 2024-04-07 for Intel.

The Intel Processor U303L has a launch MSRP of $285. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part number is 100-000000994; the Intel part number is SRPKEQ5CV.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is built on Zen 5 architecture with the Strix Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI 300 generation using a 4 nm process from TSMC. Its die size is 233 mm². The Intel Processor U303L uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, part of the Intel Processor generation on a 10 nm process from Intel. No die size is recorded for the Intel part.

Cache hierarchies differ. The AMD chip has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3. The Intel chip has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. The AMD L2 per core is lower at 1 MB, but the AMD part has more cores contributing to total cache. The Intel part's L3 is listed as shared, while the AMD L3 is not labeled as shared in the database.

Both processors list ECC memory as unsupported. Both target the mobile market segment and both are marked as Active in production status. The foundry split is notable: TSMC fabricates the AMD chip at 4 nm, while Intel fabricates its own chip at 10 nm. The architecture generation names reflect different design philosophies: Zen 5 with a 4 nm process for AMD, Raptor Lake on 10 nm for Intel.
