An intriguing new entry from AMD’s Strix Halo series has surfaced on Geekbench, providing a glimpse into what might be the Ryzen AI Max 390, a 12-core powerhouse that promises robust performance. This comes on the heels of a previous leak hinting that AMD’s Strix Halo lineup, set to enhance high-end laptops, will feature three initial SKUs: the 16-core Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the 12-core Ryzen AI Max 390, and the 8-core Ryzen AI Max 385.
The benchmark results from Geekbench’s AI test (OpenVINO CPU) offer some enticing numbers: the Ryzen AI Max 390 registered scores of 4,733 in single-precision, 4,944 in half-precision, and 13,944 in quantized performance. These figures show a slight improvement over its predecessor, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which scored 4,695, 4,715, and 12,669 in the same tests, respectively.
While the specific details like boost clocks remain under wraps, the benchmark data reveals that the test rig used was an upcoming HP ZBook Ultra model equipped with 64 GB of RAM. This strongly indicates that the Strix Halo chips are designed for robust, workstation-grade laptops. The anticipation continues as we await the confirmation of the top-tier model, which will complete the impressive trifecta of the upcoming Strix Halo processors.
With the 8-core version (Ryzen AI Max 385) already having made its benchmark debut, the appearance of the 12-core variant only fuels excitement for AMD’s potential game-changing CPUs. These early peeks suggest significant enhancements that could reshape the landscape of high-performance laptops.
If you’re keen on top-tier tech developments, keep an eye out for more updates as AMD’s Strix Halo processors edge closer to their official debut.
