AMD has launched a series of AMD Strix Halo processing chips for laptops that need great processing power, but want to fit it into a thin and light laptop size.
The most powerful model in the series, the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 consists of a CPU part with 16 physical Zen 5 cores and the AMD Radeon 8060S graphics chip combined with it comes with 40 Compute Unit cores, much more powerful than the previous AMD Radeon 890M graphics chip.
Interestingly, they have also shown a graph of computer gaming performance when compared to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card at Full HD resolution and high graphics settings.
This graph shows that the Radeon 8060S graphics chip performs better than NVIDIA's offering in the case of similar power consumption. Depending on the game played, the AMD processing chip shows much higher frame rates than NVIDIA's offering.
In fact, AMD says that the performance of their latest graphics chip is as high as 68.1 percent higher with the same power consumption.
Laptop manufacturers are expected to introduce models with AMD Strix Halo processing chips soon.
