Strix Halo with up to 96 GB VRAM.

 The new Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is AMD's latest high-end mobile processor. With up to 16 Zen 5 cores, a powerful Radeon GPU, fast NPU and up to 128 GB RAM, the Ryzen AI Max+ is supposed to be the ideal companion for gaming, content creation, and AI development.

AMD launches the new Ryzen AI Max chips as new mobile processors with powerful processors and fast iGPUs, which can used shared memory. Depending on the configuration, you can allocate up to 96 GB VRAM, which can be an advantage for demanding picture/video editing or AI development. We review the Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the flagship of the new Strix Halo series and compare it with CPU/GPU performance of the competition. We also check how the  APU handles games and whether there are efficiency advantages over systems with CPUs and dedicated GPUs.

Overview - AMD Ryzen AI Max

AMD expands its portfolio of APUs with more powerful Ryzen AI Max APUs. It is still a Strix Point CPU architecture (4 nm TSMC) and RDNA 3.5 GPU architecture. AMD calls the new chips Halo series, their flagship models. Hence the popular name Strix Halo, which is often used for Ryzen AI Max APUs. Below the Halo series we have the familiar Ryzen AI 9 APUs in the Premium series (like Ryzen AI 9 365) and Ryzen AI 7/5 APUs in the Advanced series (like Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360). All Ryzen AI APUs are equipped with the same XDNA 2 NPU with a performance of 50 TOPS, so all models get the Copilot+ certification.

While all the Strix Point APUs so far used a combination of Zen 5 cores and more compact Zen 5c cores with less cache, the Strix Halo APUs only use full-fledged Zen 5 cores with the same maximum clock of 5.1 GHz as before. The top model Ryzen AI Max+ 395 gets 16 cores with 32 threads and 80 MB cache; the Ryzen AI Max 390 gets 12 cores/24 threads with 64 MB cache and the Ryzen AI Max 385 gets 8 cores/16 threads with 40 MB cache. The RAM (LPDDR5x-8000) is also part of the APU and you can get 32, 64 or 128 GB.

The Strix Halo APUs are also equipped with powerful integrated GPUs based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture. The top model Ryzen AI Max+ 395 gets the Radeon 8060S with 40 compute units, while the other two models get the Radeon 8050S with 32 compute units. Depending on the RAM configuration, you can allocate dedicated VRAM for the GPU (up to 24 GB for 32 GB SKUs, 48 GB for 64 GB SKUs and 96 GB for 128 GB SKUs).

AMD specifies the TDP range between 45-125 Watts, so the new Strix Halo APUs are primarily designed for powerful multimedia laptops with corresponding cooling solutions. According to the spec sheet of the HP ZBook Ultra 14, there will be a fourth Strix Halo chip called Ryzen AI Max 380 with 6 cores as well as an even slower Radeon 8040S iGPU.
