The laptop Huang tested was powered by theRyzen AI 9 365.
This chip is set to launch next month alongside the higher-end Ryzen AI 9 370.
There’s quite a bit to digest here as the new architecture introduces plenty of changes.
The Zen 5 cores remain the heavyweight performers, with higher clocks and more cache.
But the Zen 5c cores should handle lighter workloads more efficiently.
Desktop chips will likely have a different core combination.
The branch prediction capabilities have also been enhanced.
This shortcoming, Huang notes, could be deliberate to maintain high frequencies.
But 512-bit vector operations remain unchanged.
However, Huang summarized that neither the performance nor efficiency cores offer the “best performance.”
He attributes these to cutbacks in cache size, SIMD capabilities, and operating frequencies.
