In August, an Asus thermal technologist goofed by revealing nan beingness of perchance nan astir powerful tablet PC ever made — an Asus ROG Flow Z13 powered by an unannounced AMD “Strix Halo” chip, 1 boasting an unthinkable 80 watts of powerfulness for its GPU alone.
Now, VideoCardz is reporting that nan spot (and tablet) are astir to spell charismatic astatine CES 2025 adjacent play — arsenic nan AMD Ryzen AI Max 395 Plus, a Zen 5 processor pinch Radeon 8060S graphics.
With 16 Zen 5 processor cores and an awesome 40 compute units worthy of AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics, VideoCardz points retired that it should beryllium AMD’s fastest portable spot ever made — acold outstripping erstwhile chips successful nan graphics conception successful particular. (The Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 had conscionable 16 GPU compute units — this is 2.5 times arsenic many.)
The leaks propose that not each AI Max / Strix Halo chips will beryllium equal; variants tipped arsenic nan AI Max 390, AI Max 385, and AI Max 380 are expected to personification arsenic less arsenic six CPU cores and arsenic less arsenic 16 RDNA graphics compute units. But online retailer leaks show nan Asus tablet should relationship nan 2 highest-end parts pinch 40 compute units.
Otherwise, nan early Asus ROG Flow Z13 leaks image a tablet moving Windows 11 connected a 13.4-inch, 180Hz IPS touchscreen display, astatine a 16:10 facet ratio, pinch 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of storage.
I’m excited for what a immense leap successful laptop/tablet graphics mightiness unlock. It wasn’t that agelong agone that a caller activity of AMD integrated graphics paved nan measurement for nan handheld PC gaming revolution.
VideoCardz writes that AMD is “set to announce” nan caller AI Max Plus bid astatine CES.
