AMD will launch a number of new PC components at CES 2025, and recently, one of these components has hit the web arena. AMD Strix Halo is the code name for AMD's series of laptop processing chips that will focus solely on gaming performance, and it is said to be their most powerful APU to date.
Recently, one of these chips has hit the web arena. It is the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395 and comes with a built-in graphics chip called AMD Radeon 8060S Graphics. This is confirmed by a recent listing on the Geekbench CPU benchmarking website.
According to screenshots taken from the page, this processing chip comes with 16 of the latest Zen5 cores with 32 power threads with a base speed of 3.0GHz. What's even more interesting is that this APU was tested with a motherboard that also houses 64GB of DDR5 memory with a speed of 1994MT/s.
This more or less also ensures that the built-in Radeon 8060S graphics chip can access the RAM memory on the computer to add performance to the graphics chip. Ura-ura says that the performance of this graphics chip can match an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 or RTX 4070 graphics card if it can use enough memory.
At this time it is unknown whether laptops will use this processing chip, but we expect it will be shown at CES 2025.
