Recent benchmarks on PassMark have shed light on the performance capabilities of AMD’s latest high-performance laptop CPUs, the Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395 and Ryzen AI Max Pro 390, codenamed “Strix Halo”. These Advanced Processing Units (APUs) are designed specifically for content creators, offering a robust solution for demanding applications.
Benchmark Insights: AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395 & Ryzen AI Max Pro 390 “Strix Halo”APUs
There’s been a steady stream of information about the Strix Halo APUs, with recent developments suggesting that select users are beginning to test laptops equipped with these processors. Notably, this is the first instance where a third WeU has surfaced alongside the previously benchmarked flagship versions.
The newly evaluated processor, the Ryzen AI Max Pro 390, can be checked in detail on PassMark. The benchmark report illustrates foundational details including the operating system utilized during testing and the CPU’s clock speed, which registers at 3.20GHz, surpassing the 3.00 GHz base clock of the Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395 according to another PassMark evaluation.
The Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395 features impressive specifications, including a 16-core/32-thread configuration, while the Ryzen AI Max Pro 390’s specific details remain elusive, hinting potentially at a 12-core/24-thread or 16-core/32-thread setup as well. However, the integrated graphics processing unit (iGPU) differs significantly, showcasing the Radeon 8050S versus the Radeon 8060S found in the Max+ Pro 395.
Both APUs were tested on a system equipped with 64 GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 1 TB SSD. Notably, the Ryzen AI Max Pro 390 utilized a Gen5 SSD of the same capacity.
Performance Metrics of the Ryzen AI Max Pro 390
While the PassMark platform may not provide the most comprehensive benchmarking methodology, it offers useful insights into competitive positioning. The Ryzen AI Max Pro 390 achieved an impressive 46,471 points in the CPU Mark test, approximately 6% lower than the 49,510 points scored by the Max+ Pro 395. In comparison, this performance puts the Ryzen AI Max Pro 390 roughly 31% ahead of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which scored 35,388 points. Additionally, it’s valuable to note that the Ryzen 9 7940HX, based on Zen 4 architecture with 12 cores, scored 54,454 points, while the 16-core Ryzen 9 7945HX3D reached 57,430 points.
Integrated Graphics Performance
On the graphics front, the Ryzen AI Max Pro 390’s iGPU performance notably exceeds that of the Max+ Pro 395, scoring 16,663 points compared to the 15,965 points of the Radeon 8060S. This is particularly impressive considering that the Radeon 8050S is reported to be a flagship GPU equipped with high clock speeds and potentially up to 40 compute units based on RDNA 3.5 architecture. Significantly, these integrated graphics solutions have demonstrated performance levels comparable to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB discrete graphics card, highlighting a major advancement in integrated GPU technology.
As the tech community eagerly anticipates new hardware releases, including the Radeon RX 9000 GPUs, more detailed reports and benchmarks are expected to surface at CES, offering further insights into AMD’s standout offerings.
