AMD’s Strix Halo APUs are going to be a disruptive platform for mobile users who are looking for higher performance, both in terms of CPU and GPU. These chiplet-esque APUs will be the first of their kind, really taking everything that the APUs have achieved so far to the max. Now, we have some more information on the branding and the SKUs of this next-generation family thanks to 金猪升级包 (via Weibo).

So starting with the family, it looks like AMD has decided to use the “Ryzen AI Max” branding for its Strix Halo APUs. This “Max” label is already used by Apple for its SoCs which come in standard, Max, and Ultra flavors. AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 “Strix” will remain the standard offering while the Ryzen AI Max 300 flavors will be part of the Strix Halo lineup. Whether AMD does an “Ultra” variant in the future remains to be seen but it looks like the SKUs will be further segmented into Max and Max+ flavors.

Looking at the SKUs, the AMD Ryzen AI Max “Strix Halo” family will feature the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 as the flagship offering, and that will be equipped with 16 Cores based on the Zen 5 architecture & 40 Compute Units based on the RDNA 3.5 GPU architecture. This chip is going to be the fastest one in the stack and will feature TDPs of up to 130W as revealed in earlier leaks. The chip will also come with four-channel LPDDR5X memory support.

The other two SKUs fall in the Ryzen AI Max series and include the Ryzen AI Max 390 which is a 12 CPU and 40 GPU core SKU while the Ryzen AI Max 385 will serve as the entry-level offering with 8 CPU cores and 32 GPU cores. Since the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 is the top SKU within the non-Halo series, we can expect another SKU such as the Ryzen AI Max 380 targeting the entry-level segment.

AMD Ryzen AI HX Strix Halo Expected Features:

• Zen 5 Chiplet Design
• Up To 16 Cores
• 64 MB of Shared L3 cache
• 40 RDNA 3+ Compute Units
• 32 MB MALL Cache (for iGPU)
• 256-bit LPDDR5X-8000 Memory Controller
• XDNA 2 Engine Integrated
• Up To 60 AI TOPS
• 16 PCIe Gen4 Lanes
• 2H 2024 Launch (Expected)
• FP11 Platform (55W-130W)

Another interesting feature of the AMD Ryzen AI Max 300 “Strix Halo” lineup that has been pointed out is that the chips will be able to allocate up to 96 GB of system memory as video memory. Strix Halo platforms were spotted with up to 128 GB memory support so that’s going to be a great thing for integrated GPUs, especially those as big as the 40 CU or 32 CU variants featured on the Ryzen AI Max lineup.

AMD’s Strix Halo APUs are expected to launch in 2025 alongside several other Zen 5 mobile products such as Fire Range & Krackan Point. These products will be incorporated in several laptops, tablets, handhelds, and Mini PCs throughout the coming year.
