AMD has unveiled its Strix Point Halo mobile processors, featuring Zen 5 CPU cores, RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics, and an NPU. The lineup includes AI Max 385, 390, and 395 models, with varying levels of performance. These processors are targeted at the laptop market, particularly for creative and AI-intensive workloads, thanks to their unified coherent memory architecture and AI capabilities.
Well, it's finally here. We've been crossing our fingers for a long, long time waiting for AMD Strix Halo, and now the waiting's over. As one of its many rabbit hat-pulls for, AMD 's just announced the halo end of its Strix Point mobile processors, combining Zen 5 CPU cores, RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics, and an NPU .AI Max 385, AI Max 390, and AI Max+ 395. These will be available Q1-Q2 2025.entirely accurate.
AMD backs up these claims with its own graphs—which we should, of course, take with a pinch of salt. Comparing the top-end AI Max+ 395 to the Intel Core Ultra 9 288V, AMD claims 1.4x faster graphics performance and 2.6x faster rendering . And it even seems to trade blows with, or beat, Apple M4 chips for rendering.
I don't, unfortunately, see these AI Max chips being the best options for gaming. They'll be a dab hand at gaming, for sure, but they'll surely be expensive given their overall feature set that will be beneficial for creative professionals and graphics/AI developers. We're on the ground in sunny Las Vegas covering all the latest announcements from some of the biggest names in tech, including Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Asus, Razer, MSI and more.
