Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 dominates the PassMark suite, winning 9 of 11 recorded PassMark tests. Its largest victories come in extended instructions (76.6% ahead), data compression (55.8%), random string sorting (51.1%), integer math (45.6%), and data encryption (45.8%). These results indicate strong throughput for data-heavy workloads, cryptographic operations, and instruction-intensive tasks.

The AMD chip also wins the older Cinebench R15 tests, with the multicore result being particularly strong at 54.3% ahead. The single-core R15 edge is modest at 6.6%. With 11 total wins out of 15 comparisons, the AMD processor delivers broader overall benchmark superiority.

The Intel Core 9 273PTE wins the newer Cinebench R23 tests decisively. The 31% single-core advantage in R23 is the largest single-test margin for either chip outside the PassMark suite. The 9.4% multicore lead in R23 shows that Intel's higher boost clock and larger caches translate into strong performance in contemporary rendering workloads.

Intel also wins prime number finding by 7.7% and physics by 1.3%, though both margins are narrow. The physics result is nearly a tie, with the two chips separated by only 25 points.

For workload selection, the data suggests AMD for general multithreaded throughput, encryption, compression, sorting, and math operations. The Intel chip shows clear superiority in Cinebench R23 workloads, which represent modern rendering and 3D tasks. The single-core R23 result is particularly notable, suggesting Intel has an edge in lightly threaded rendering workloads that depend on the newest instruction paths.

The mobile versus desktop split matters for deployment decisions. The AMD part operates at 28 W in a mobile socket, while the Intel part runs at 45 W in a desktop socket. Despite the higher TDP, Intel wins fewer total benchmarks, which indicates the AMD architecture extracts more performance per watt in the recorded tests. The Intel chip does offer PCIe Gen 5 connectivity and DDR4 support, which may matter for platform compatibility in desktop builds.
