AMD is actively testing its new Strix Halo processors based on the Zen 5 architecture, promising to deliver a groundbreaking solution for mobile devices. These processors are equipped with Radeon 8060S integrated graphics built on the RDNA 3.5 architecture and feature a thermal design power (TDP) of up to 120W. They are expected to support LPDDR5x-8000 memory, emphasizing their impressive performance capabilities.
The flagship model of the lineup, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395, boasts 16 cores with clock speeds of up to 5.1 GHz. Its integrated GPU features 40 compute units, capable of competing with the GeForce RTX 4070 for laptops. In gaming benchmarks, the Radeon 8060S demonstrated a performance boost of up to 68% over the RTX 4070 (mobile), as observed in tests across 17 games at 1080p resolution.
The most notable gains were recorded in titles like Borderlands 3 and Baldur’s Gate 3. AMD highlighted that its integrated GPU outperforms the competition even without relying on technologies like upscaling. The arrival of Strix Halo could significantly reshape the laptop market, offering a unique balance of power and energy efficiency. However, details regarding pricing and availability remain undisclosed.
