For as long as I've been writing about PC hardware, I've hoped for a processor with an integrated GPU that was genuinely good for gaming. The AMD Ryzen AI Max 390 is that chip. It's a mobile API that's desktop-grade in a few ways, with a Radeon 8050S bringing 32 Compute Units (CUs) of graphical power and a 12-core CPU. Stuffed inside the sleek and gorgeous Asus ROG Flow Z13—a gaming tablet with all the makings of a modern gaming laptop, minus the integrated keyboard and trackpad—it should be a match made in heaven.
So why aren't I more excited?
