AMD Strix Halo Ryzen AI MAX 395+ laptop chip matches the desktop Ryzen 9 7950X in leaked benchmark — 16-core APU rumored to power Asus' upcoming ROG Flow Z13 laptop

AMD.

The upcoming Ryzen AI MAX 395+ from AMD's Ryzen 300 or Zen 5 family of APUs has emerged at Geekbench with performance that's largely identical to the desktop Ryzen 9 7950X processor — at least in short bursts. The 395+ is seen powering the upcoming ROG Flow Z13 laptop from Asus, expected to debut at CES next month. Against the last-gen Ryzen 9 7945HX, AMD has managed to extract a massive 22% performance uplift with Strix Halo.

The enthusiast laptop market will soon be greeted by AMD's flagship APUs codenamed "Strix Halo" under the Ryzen AI MAX Pro lineup. Likely to arrive at CES, these APUs reportedly serve as a one-stop solution for workstation laptops uniting Zen 5 cores with a powerful RDNA 3.5 iGPU (Integrated GPU) on a single chip.
