Asus Zenbook S16 (UM5606) review


Now that we’ve seen Intel’s ‘Meteor Lake’ Core Ultra CPUs and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Series, it’s AMD’s turn in the AI PC spotlight with its Ryzen AI 300 series processors, and the Ryzen 9 HX 370. AMD’s first efforts in this sphere – the Ryzen Pro 7000 and 8000 series processors – were underwhelming, with performance from the chips’ dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) topping out at a mere 16 Tera Operations per Second (TOPS). That’s substantially lower than the 40 TOPS required for Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs, and weedy compared to the 45 TOPS of the Hexagon NPU in the Snapdragon X Elite. 

The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 promises significant improvements, with its NPU dishing out up to 50 TOPS. WIth a 12-core/24-thread CPU based on AMD’s new Zen 5 architecture, plus an integrated Radeon 980M GPU, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 promises a lot of power for AI, graphics, and just about everything else.
