Well, it's finally here. We've been crossing our fingers for a long, long time waiting for AMD Strix Halo, and now the waiting's over. As one of its many rabbit hat-pulls for CES 2025, AMD's just announced the halo (ie, top) end of its Strix Point mobile processors, combining Zen 5 CPU cores, RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics, and an NPU.
These new "halo" processors are the Ryzen AI Max 385, AI Max 390, and AI Max+ 395. (Oh, and the AI Max 380, but that's a Pro-only, ie, business-focused, processor.) These will be available Q1-Q2 2025.
