The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 12-core mobile CPU has been spotted in yet another leaked benchmark run paired with a new Ryzen 7 part called the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360. As reported by IT Home, the two processors were spotted in the CrossMark benchmark where the Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 outperformed Intel’s current Core Ultra 9 185H processor. However, the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 showed disappointing results, losing to the two-generation-old Ryzen 9 7940HS with the exact same core count.
Technically, we’ve already reported on the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360, but in our previous coverage, it was known as the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 160. For those who don’t know, the 100-series nomenclature was originally going to be the name for AMD’s first-gen Ryzen AI lineup, but AMD last minute changed the numbering scheme from 100 to 300. As a result, the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 160 and Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 feature the same chip.
The Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 has been confirmed as an 8-core Zen 5 CPU with two core clusters of odd core counts – one cluster has three regular Zen 5 cores and the other has five smaller Zen 5c cores. The 8-core configuration is backed up by a Radeon 870M GPU that appears to have 8 CUs (half the core count of the Radeon 890M) with just 8MB of L3 cache and (we think) 8MB of L2 cache.

The posted PassMark benchmark results compared four CPUs: the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360, the Core Ultra 9 185H, and the Ryzen 9 7940HS (which is incorrectly labeled as a Ryzen 7 SKU in the image).
The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scored 1,549 points in the Productivity segment, 2,128 points in the Creativity segment, and 1,212 points in the Responsiveness segment for an overall score of 1,713 points.
The next fastest chip in this group was the Meteor Lake-based Core Ultra 9 185H, which has 16 cores and 22 threads. This Intel chip received an overall score of 1,693 points, 1,549 points in the Productivity segment, 1,981 points in the Creativity segment, and 1,391 points in the Responsiveness segment.
The third fastest chip was AMD’s previous-generation Ryzen 9 7940HS with eight Zen 4 cores. The chip scored 1,623 points overall, with 1,561 points in the Productivity segment, 1,792 points in the Creativity segment, and 1,369 points in the Responsiveness segment of the CrossMark benchmark.
The Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 is the slowest of the four CPUs in this benchmark run, coming in at the very back of the pack.The Zen 5 mobile processor received an overall score of 1,373 points, 1,267 points in Productivity, 1,639 points in Creativity, and 1,023 points in Responsiveness.

The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 results aren’t surprising. The chip outperformed all other CPUs thanks to its 12 Zen 5/Zen 5c cores. Intel’s Meteor Lake Core Ultra 9 185H should now be considered a previous-generation product, despite its higher core count. Intel is preparing to release its Ryzen AI 300-series competitor, Lunar Lake, later this year, and hopes to close the gap on AMD with its faster Zen 5 architecture.
The results for the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 are even more surprising. Previously, the chip outperformed the Ryzen 9 8945HS (a newer version of the 7940HS) in Geekbench. Here, things are very different, with the pro-series Zen 5 chip clearly underperforming the Ryzen 9 7940HS. In overall benchmark scores, the 7940HS is 18% faster than the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360.
This indicates that these results should not be taken too seriously. The Ryzen AI Pro 360 in this test is likely an engineering sample that is clocked much lower than the future production model. Given that the Pro 360 has half the L3 cache capacity of the Ryzen 7 9740HS, the performance results are not surprising. If CrossMark is an L3-sensitive benchmark, the lack of performance could be explained.
