The upcoming Strix Point Halo processors from AMD now have a new name – Ryzen AI Max – and come with big promises of impressive power. This rumor, first reported by VideoCardz and originating from Weibo leaker Golden Pig Upgrade, reveals key details about the first three processors in this lineup, along with their specifications.

The leaker claims AMD might roll out a new naming system for these processors branding them as part of the Ryzen AI Max series. These chips will run on the anticipated Strix Halo APU. This series includes three models, with the top-end version boasting up to 16 Zen 5 noyaux et 40 Compute Units (UC) for graphics. This setup is expected for the best model contrary to earlier rumors that AMD would drop such a variant. En fait, word has it that at least two of the models in this lineup will come with 40 RDNA 3.5 Compute Units. The leaker also hints that Strix Halo will handle up to 96 GB of video memory suggesting AMD aims to make this processor work with its ROCm (Open Compute Platform) système.

AMD Ryzen AI Max 300 Strix Halo Lineup

  • Ryzen AI Max+ 395 – 16 Zen 5 noyaux + 40 Compute Units (RDNA 3.5)
  • Ryzen AI Max 390 – 12 noyaux + 40 Compute Units
  • Ryzen AI Max 385 – 8 noyaux + 32 Compute Units

The Strix Halo APU is expected to use two CCDs (Core Complex Dies) avec 8 cores each. One variant is rumored to have just a single CCD, potentially making it an ideal option for gaming devices. Interestingly, none of the leaked models feature fewer than 32 UC, which is already double the 16 CUs of the Strix Point.
