With the arrival of Ryzen 7 9800X3D It has become clear that AMD continues to be the leader in gaming processors for desktop computers, offering performance much higher than what we can find in the Core Ultra 9 285K from Intel, whose gaming performance has been very disappointing, being less powerful than even the Intel Core i9-14900K although much more efficient in energy consumption.
A few days ago, Intel confirmed that they were working to release a patch to improve the performance of its new range of Core Ultra 200 Series desktop processors.
While we wait for its launch to see how much Intel is able to improve the performance of its processors in gaming, today we wake up with a new performance comparison. On this occasion, AMD has tested the performance of its Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 laptop processor with the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V.
Ryzen AI 9 HZ 370 vs Intel Core Ultra 7 258V
It is important to mention that, as is almost always the case with the comparisons published by processor manufacturers, the processor that offers the highest performance is not always used. Within the range of Intel laptop processors, the most powerful of all is the Intel Core Ultra 9 288Vso this comparison must be taken with a grain of salt.
The range of processors Ryzen AI 300 from AMD is designed to deliver excellent performance in AI tasks thanks to the powerful NPU of 45 TOPS, is compatible with Copilot+ PC of Windows and in the graphics section, there is the series Radeon 800M based on RDNA 3.5 architecture.
The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 used for this comparison has 12 cores and 24 threadswith a maximum clock speed of 5.1 GHz and has the Radeon 890M graphics card with 16 cores. In Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, it has 8 cores and 8 threads with a maximum clock speed of 5.8 GHZ and the graphics card is the Intel Arc 140V with 8 cores.
According to the tests that AMD has carried out in 16 titles, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is a 75% faster than the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V at 1080 resolution and with medium graphic quality. The Radeon 890M available in the processor used in the comparison, takes advantage of scaling technology FSR3, AMD HYPR-RX with FMF 2.
These AMD technologies are found in all the games that have been used in the comparison, so it starts with an important advantage over Intel graphics, where scaling is not available in all the games used.
AMD FSR3 is currently available in almost 100 games, FSR in more than 400 and AMD HYPR-RX AMF2 can be found in thousands of games. Intel currently does not have any technology that is capable of competing with AMD’s FSR3 and its scaling technology is only available in 130 games.
This performance comparison between both processors makes two things clear. That AMD has surpassed Intel in the laptop processor segment with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and that Intel has to get its act together once and for all.
