AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 Benchmarks: The Fantastic Power Efficiency Of Zen 5
With the basic Jetstream 2.0 web browser benchmark within Firefox, the Ryzen AI 9 365 performance was similar to the HX 370 given the single-threaded workload and also similar to that of the Intel Core Ultra 7 155h.
But it became a heck of a lot more interesting when looking at the performance-per-Watt. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 already looked good for power efficiency but now the Ryzen AI 9 365 pushed the bar further... The Ryzen AI 9 365 was delivering more than TWICE the performance per Watt of the Core Ultra 7 155H in this particular browser benchmark! The Meteor Lake RAPL power reporting put it at a 19 Watt average and 57 Watt peak compared to the Ryzen AI 9 365 with a 9.5 Watt average and 30 Watt peak.
It was the same story with the Google Chrome web browser of the Ryzen AI 9 365 delivering even better performance per Watt than the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which is already a big leap compared to the Intel competition and prior generation Ryzen laptop processors.
Moving onto some multi-threaded real-world work like compiling the Linux kernel... The Ryzen AI 9 365 has two less Zen 5C cores than the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 but equates to a build time just a few seconds slower. The Ryzen AI 9 365 could compile the Linux kernel in around the same time as the Ryzen 7 7840HS.
But the Ryzen AI 9 365 was pulling around 24 Watts during the code compilation work compared to the Ryzen 7 7840HS pulling 41 Watts. These Strix Point SoCs are proving to be a mighty sword for power efficiency.
Or for compiling the Godot game engine, the Ryzen AI 9 365 delivered similar performance to the Zen 4 Ryzen 7 7840U.... But was doing so with a 20.8 Watt average while the Ryzen 7 7840U was at 30.9 Watts on average. Or the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H Meteor Lake SoC with a 32.8 Watt average.
For code compilation work the Ryzen AI 9 365 was most often aligned to the Ryzen 7 7840U build speeds but at much lower power use.
