More About the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 APU has appeared on Geekbench benchmarks, detailing performance figures via @Olrak29_(Everest). The processor appears to be part of a new platform labeled ‘AMD KoratPlus-STXKRK’. The ‘STX’ likely refers to Strix Point, while ‘KRK’ denotes Krackan Point, a variant aimed at the mainstream segment.

As previously noted, the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 will be featured in an upcoming Lenovo laptop. If the specs are on target, then this APU would be an 8-core/16-thread CPU clocked at a base 2.00GHz. That includes the processor with its onboard Radeon 880M integrated graphics, which boasts just 12 Compute Units (at 1.6GHz) and relies on RDNA 3.5 architecture.

Aracaunix speculates that Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 could fall under the Strix Point series, with the Krackan Point expected to feature 8 Compute Units for its integrated graphics. For the budget and low-power mobile CPU range, Intel has scheduled Krackan Point to arrive in early 2025, while Strix Point is intended to provide for the premium market.

Historically, AMD Strix Point APUs have been used primarily in gaming laptops. However, vendors like AOOSTAR and Beelink are now showcasing Mini PCs with Ryzen AI 300 APUs. The Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360, with its 3x Zen 5 and 5x Zen 5C cores, offers less processing power compared to the Ryzen AI 7 365, which has 4x Zen 5 and 6x Zen 5C cores. Both CPUs feature the same Radeon 880M graphics, suggesting similar graphical performance. AMD is expected to officially unveil the Ryzen AI 300 PRO series on October 10, with the Strix Halo to be revealed at CES next year.
