Technical Analysis
Detailed breakdown of Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 specifications and capabilities.
Processing Power
The Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 is a 12-core / 24-thread processor based on the Strix Point (2024−2025) architecture, manufactured on a 4 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 5.1 GHz from a base frequency of 2 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. It carries 16 MB of L3 cache, plus 1 MB (per core) of L2 cache and 80 kB (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 33,619, placing it in the High-End performance tier as a Current Gen generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 2,864, while multi-core reaches 15,012. Cinebench R23 multi-core (measuring sustained rendering workload performance) scores 22,246.
