In short
HX 470 refreshes the HX 370 platform with higher headline clocks and NPU capability. It remains an HX-tier processor, rather than a move to Strix Halo. Choose a suitable memory configuration before paying a large premium for the newer suffix.
| Manufacturer maximum | HX 370 | HX 470 |
|---|---|---|
| Cores / threads | 12 / 24 | 12 / 24 |
| CPU boost | Up to 5.1GHz | Up to 5.2GHz |
| Graphics | Radeon 890M | Radeon 890M |
| NPU | Up to 50 TOPS | Up to 55 TOPS |
HX 470 vs HX 370 specs
Both are 12-core, 24-thread Ryzen AI 9 processors with Radeon 890M graphics. The newer chip raises the headline CPU and NPU specifications. The chassis still determines power, cooling and installed memory.
Does the HX 470 run AI faster?
A higher NPU figure matters only to a workload using that NPU. GPU inference also depends on memory and software. No universal percentage improvement is justified for every local model.
Which mini PCs use the HX 470?
Geekom A9 Max 2026 is our preferred option. Minisforum AI X1 Pro-470 and GMKtec EVO-X1 Pro are alternatives. Store URLs may persist across generations; inspect the variant selected in the cart.
Should you buy the HX 470 version?
Prefer it for a modest premium in an otherwise matched configuration. A discounted HX 370 with suitable RAM can be a better buy. For much larger models, a tier change matters more than this refresh.
Frequently asked questions
Is the HX 470 worth it over the HX 370?
