AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 Benchmarks: The Fantastic Power Efficiency Of Zen 5
👁 AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 proved to be a very mighty power efficient Zen 5 laptop SoC. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 benchmarks were great this weekend while now the Ryzen AI 9 365 has managed in many of the benchmarks to deliver even better performance-per-Watt. The power efficiency gains going to Zen 5/5C over prior Zen 5 laptop SoCs was substantial. In many benchmarks the Ryzen AI 9 365 delivered performance similar to the Ryzen 7 7840U / 7840HS but was consistently showing a significant upgrade in power efficiency. For some heavier workloads the Ryzen AI 9 365 was also delivering superior raw performance than the Zen 4 SoCs.
The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 was also consistently outperforming the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H Meteor Lake laptop tested in both raw performance and big leaps over the current Intel Core competition in power efficiency. Granted, in the coming months it will be interesting to see how Intel Lunar Lake competes with AMD Zen 5.
On average the Ryzen AI 9 365 across all 130+ benchmarks the SoC power consumption was 18.8 Watts with a peak of 33.9 Watts, compared to the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 coming in with a 20.4 Watt average. The Ryzen 77 840HS meanwhile had a 35.9 Watt average and a peak of 60.9 Watts.
The Ryzen AI 9 365 overall performed similar to the Ryzen 7 7840HS but at 52% the power! Or was about 31% faster than the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H while at 64% the power use. Strix Point is proving excellent in the power efficiency department.
If on a Zen 3 laptop or older the upgrade to the Ryzen AI 3000 series can be worthwhile and with a big jump forward in power efficiency. It will be very interesting to see the Ryzen 9000 series power efficiency in August and then EPYC Turin later in the year. Hopefully a Strix Point adaptation will also work its way out to gaming handheld consoles and other innovative devices thanks to the nice improvements in power efficiency paired with the RDNA3.5 integrated graphics.
