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. Update: Performance at different TDP levels & RAM performance
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 monster APU handles games and whether there are efficiency advantages over systems with CPUs and dedicated GPUs.
February 24, 2025 update: CPU performance at difference power limits & RAM performance added
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.
Our test system is the 2025 model of the gaming convertible Asus ROG Flow Z13 GZ302EA that we have already reviewed. It is equipped with the flagship Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the flagship model of the new Strix Halo series with 16 CPU cores and the Radeon 8060S. It is the SKU with 32 GB RAM (LPDDR5x-8000), which can also be used by the GPU. You can also allocate up to 24 GB of dedicated VRAM. Dedicated VRAM can have a positive effect in some games or creative apps, but the Auto mode also worked well in general. We followed Asus' recommendation with 8 GB dedicated VRAM for our benchmarks.
Using the Turbo mode, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 can consume up to 86 Watts for a brief period and then stabilizes at 70 Watts when you only stress the CPU or GPU. Combined workloads will result in a TDP of 60 Watts.
To ensure a meaningful comparison between different processors and graphics cards, we evaluate power consumption alongside synthetic benchmark performance, allowing us to determine overall efficiency. Our power consumption measurements are conducted using an external display, eliminating any influence from varying internal display power usage. However, it is important to note that we measure total system power consumption, rather than just comparing raw TDP values.
We start our CPU performance section with single-core scenarios. The new APU uses the familiar Zen 5 cores with the same maximum clock of 5.1 GHz, so it is not surprising that we get comparable result to other Zen 5 APUs like the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 in the Cinebench tests. The results are on par with the old Dragon Range HX series (like the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D), but also slower than Intel's latest Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake chips (at least the fast Core Ultra 9 variants). The fast Snapdragon X Elite SoCs with dual-core turbo (X1E-80-100 and faster) are also ahead, but the ARM models X1E-78-100 and below are slower. Apple is in a completely different league with their M4 SoCs and the latest desktop CPUs from AMD as well as Intel are also faster than the Ryzen AI Max 395.
The new Strix Halo APU performs better in the latest Geekbench 6 test and it can beat all the current mobile processors from AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm. The old Raptor Lake Core i9-14900HX is comparable; the current desktop CPUs and especially Apple's M4 chips are once again ahead.
For the single-core efficiency comparison we use Cinebench 2024 as well the older Cinebench R23 where we just have more comparison data (especially with HX CPUs). The new Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is clearly worse than the other current mobile CPUs in Cinebench 2024 (both Ryzen AI as well as Intel Arrow Lake-H/Lunar Lake-V). The ARM competition from Apple and Qualcomm is also much more efficient in single-core scenarios. Only the desktop chips are even worse in terms of efficiency.
The older Cinebench R23 test also shows an advantage for the current mobile processors, but the older HX series chips (which are much closer to the Ryzen AI Max in terms of overall performance) are clearly beaten by the Strix Halo APU. This is also the case for the current desktop CPUs from AMD as well as Intel.
As expected, the new Ryzen AI Max+ 395 performs much better in multi-core scenarios, but please keep in mind that we tested the new chip in a 13-inch convertible with limited power limits (86/70 Watts). The performance would be noticeably better with the full 125 Watts. The current mobile chips from AMD, Intel and Qualcomm do not stand a chance, only the HX series CPUs are on a comparable level (but usually with much higher consumption values, especially for the Core i9-14900HX rivals). Apple has a small advantage with the M4 Pro, and the majority of current desktop chips is also faster.
The new Ryzen AI Max+ 395 once again performs much better in Geekbench and is one of the fastest models. Apple's M4 Pro and M4 Max SoCs stay in front, but then we have the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 surrounded by current desktop chips like the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K or AMD's Ryzen 9950X.
We once again start with the Cinebench 2024 efficiency, where the Ryzen AI Max performs well and is only beaten by the new Arrow Lake-H chip Core Ultra 9 285H among the x86 competition. All the other models are either on a comparable level or worse, but the ARM competition is once again more efficient.
The older R23 Multi test is more interesting for the comparison with the x86 rivals since the ARM CPUs emulate this benchmark, which affects the performance. In this scenario, the new Ryzen AI Max APU is one of the most efficient chips and beats all of the HX competitors as well as desktop models.
The performance you get depends heavily on the laptop model itself and its power limits, so we also performed the Cinebench 2024 Multi benchmark at preset power limits. We used tools like Throttle Stop or Universal x86 Tuning Utility, but that means we are limited to AMD and Intel processors.
| TDP | Ryzen AI Max+ 395 | Ryzen 9 7945HX3D | Core Ultra 9-14900HX | Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 | Core Ultra 9 285H |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 45 Watts | 1310 points | 1146 points | 1107 points | 977 points | |
| 55 Watts | 1494 points | 1370 points | 1012 points | 1167 points | 1042 points |
| 65 Watts | 1602 points | 1492 points | 1190 points | ||
| 80 Watts | 1731 points | 1708 points | 1407 points |
We also included the results of the two current chips Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 as well as Core Ultra 9 285H in our comparison to get a better picture, especially in the range between 45-55 Watts. This comparison clearly shows that the new Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is already very capable at low power limits and offers a noticeable performance advantage over the other two mobile chips. The older Ryzen 9 7945HX3D starts to be competitive at 80 Watts, while the Core i9-14900HX falls behind. We know from our reviews that the 14900HX simply needs quite a lot of power (much more than 100 Watts) to offer good performance numbers.
Our reviews always include memory benchmarks with the tool AIDA by default and the results show a noticeable advantage for the new Ryzen AI Max+ 395 compared to the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and all the other comparison devices. The Lunar Lake chips with 32 GB RAM also perform well, but the Snapdragon SoCs falls behind. The comparison with the Apple M4 Pro (with the benchmark AmorphousMemoryMark) is also interesting. The M4 Pro is faster in terms of read performance, but the two SoCs are pretty much on par when it comes to the write performance.

In addition to the powerful CPU, you also a powerful integrated graphics card called Radeon 8060S. AMD claims it is the fastest x86-iGPU and we can confirm that right away, since neither the Radeon 890M, nor the Intel Arc Graphics 140V/140T stand a chance against the new Radeon 8060S.
We start with the different 3DMark benchmarks and they clearly show that Radeon 8060S is on par with the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop with TGP value between 65-75 Watts. This is the case for 3DMark 11 as well as 3DMark Fire Strike and Time Spy, but the Radeon 8060S loses some ground compared to the RTX 4070 Laptop in the Speed Way as well as Steel Nomad tests.

We also tested the new Radeon 8060S against the ARM competition from Apple as well as Qualcomm. The fastest version of the Qualcomm Adreno X1-85 (4.6 TFLOPS) does not stand a chance against the new Strix Halo iGPU. The situation changes compared to Apple’s GPUs, and depending on the benchmark the 8060S is sitting right between the two M4 Pro GPUs or slightly ahead, respectively. The M4 Max GPU on the other hand is out of reach.

We have some gaming benchmarks that we perform in every laptop review and the Radeon 8060S is on par with the Radeon RX 7600M XT and slightly ahead of the fastest version of the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop (90W TGP) in the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 16. The two comparable RTX 4070 Laptop devices Asus ROG Flow Z13 as well as Asus ProArt PX13 have a slight advantage, but this is mainly caused by some of the results in older benchmarks like GTA V. This is also the case for fast versions of the RTX 4060 Laptop. The two newer titles Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur's Gate 3 show better results for the Radeon 8060S. All in all, you can play almost every game in 1080p and maximum details, while some titles are a bit too demanding for the QHD resolution (more on that in the following paragraphs).

We also had the old Flow Z13 with the RTX 4070 Laptop on hand, so we used it for a direct head-to-head comparison in modern titles (Turbo mode on both devices). The situation looks better for the new Radeon 8060S in 1080p and maximum details. Titles like Cyberpunk 2077 or Call of Duty Black Ops 6 show an advantage of 13-17 % for the AMD GPU, while many titles show comparable results. There are also some negative examples like GTA V or F1 24 (-12 up to -21 %). All in all, the two devices are pretty much on par.
| GTA V - 1920x1080 Highest AA:4xMSAA + FX AF:16x | |
| Asus ROG Flow Z13 ACRNM Intel Core i9-13900H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU | 94.8 (4.6min, 62.5P1 - 170.5max) fps +14% |

| Asus ROG Flow Z13 ACRNM Intel Core i9-13900H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU | 39.4 (24.9P0.1, 31.4P1) fps -2% |
The situation is very similar in the QHD resolution, even though the GeForce Flow Z13 has a slightly bigger lead (+5 %). Many titles are generally playable in QHD and maximum details, only very demanding games like Black Myth: Wukong, Star Wars Outlaws, Indiana Jones or Monster Hunter Wilds drop below the 30 fps mark.
| GTA V - 2560x1440 Highest AA:4xMSAA + FX AF:16x | |
| Asus ROG Flow Z13 ACRNM Intel Core i9-13900H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU | 75.9 (3.4min, 43.5P1 - 128.1max) fps +18% |
| Asus ROG Flow Z13 GZ302EA-RU073W AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, AMD Radeon 8060S | 64.3 (8.92min, 45.5P1 - 110.8max) fps |
Some titles also support FSR 3 upscaling to improve the performance, but the support is more limited compared to Nvidia’s DLSS technology. We checked the results in some modern titles and even though FSR 3 already improves the performance noticeably, you will see the biggest improvements with additional frame generation. The native results can often be more than doubles and even demanding titles like Black Myth Wukong, Monster Hunter Wilds or Star Wars Outlaws will reach smooth fps numbers. At least in theory, because the gaming experience can vary heavily. Star Wars Outlaws or Horizon Forbidden West, for instance, suffered from visible artifacts and image distortions especially during movements.
| Game | Native | FSR 3 | FSR3 + FG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost of Tsushima | 40.1 fps | 52.4 fps | 90.8 fps |
| GoW Ragnarök | 57.5 fps | 49.7 fps | 81.4 fps |
| Cyberpunk 2077 | 46.4 fps | 64.5 fps | 109.7 fps |
| Monster Hunter Wilds | 28.4 fps | 36.4 fps | 59.3 fps |
| Horizon Forbidden West | 38.3 fps | 44.8 fps | 69 fps |
| Black Myth: Wukong | 16 fps | 25 fps | 48 fps |
| Star Wars Outlaws | 19.8 fps | 27.4 fps | 54.3 fps |
| CoD Black Ops 6 | 64 fps | 79 fps | 114 fps |
We use Cyberpunk 2077 to evaluate the GPU efficiency and we have data for all current platforms, but please keep in mind that the game is emulated on ARM systems, which affects the performance as well as the efficiency. This will change for Apple silicon very soon when the native version of the game will be published. We still included the data for the sake of completeness.
The Radeon 8060S iGPU is one of the most efficient models in our database and is only beaten by some versions of the Arc Graphics 140V, but the overall performance level is not comparable to the Strix Halo iGPU. The RTX 4070 Laptop in the MSI Katana (with AMD CPU) is also comparable, but the other GeForce GPUs are worse, especially in combination with Intel CPUs.

The system performance is excellent across all benchmarks. In PCMark 10 and CrossMark, the ROG Flow Z13 with Ryzen AI Max+ 395 beats all the rivals including the MacBook Pro 16 M4 Max. The ARM rivals from Apple and Qualcomm (at least the fast versions of the Snapdragon X Elite) perform a bit better in the browser tests though.

The results in the two PugetBench tests for Adobe Photoshop as well as Premiere Pro are also decent, but there were limitations for DaVinci Resolve. The Basic benchmark test result is better compared to the RTX 4070 Laptop rivals, but we encountered two crashes while editing one of our review videos, which almost never happens with Nvidia GPUs. At this time, we cannot verify whether this problem is caused by the software or the GPU drivers.

The new AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is an impressive piece of hardware and it is definitely the fastest x86-iGPU by quite a margin. The multi-core CPU performance is also excellent and the Radeon 8060S can compete with the gaming performance of the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop in similar TDP ranges. The chip is also suited for more compact devices since you only have to implement one processor. Thanks to shared memory, there can also be advantages for picture/video editing, where 8-12 GB VRAM of current dGPUs can quickly become a limitation. Compared to Apple's current M4 generation, the flagship model Ryzen AI Max+ 395 can compete keep up quite well with the faster M4 Pro variant (except for the single-core performance, where Apple just beats every competitor right now), but the M4 Max is out of reach.
There are still some unanswered questions, because the two smaller Strix Halo APUs offer fewer CPU cores and slower Radeon 8050S iGPUs. If these APUs can be successful, especially considering the high prices, remains to be seen. The ROG Flow Z13 with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and 32 GB RAM already costs 2499 Euros, even though it is the smallest SKU in terms of RAM. We do not have any prices for models with 64 or 128 GB yet.
This brings us to the next problem, the availability. So far, only the Asus ROG Flow Z13 GZ302 as well as the HP ZBook Ultra 14 G1a have been announced with Strix Halo APUs. If you combine all these factors, Strix Halo will probably be pretty rare and the exceptions for multimedia devices, which will most likely be once again dominated by the combination of Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs.
Editor of the original article: Andreas Osthoff - Managing Editor Business Laptops - 2100 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2013
I grew up with modern consumer electronics and my first computer was a Commodore C64, which encouraged my interest in building my own systems. I started working as a review editor for Notebookcheck during my dual studies at Siemens. Currently, I am mainly responsible for dealing with business laptops and mobile workstations. It’s a great experience to be able to review the latest devices and technologies and then compare them with each other.
