So far, my team and I have been blown away by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (codenamed Strix Halo) — packing integrated graphics so powerful they match up to dedicated Nvidia laptop GPUs. In fact, it’s one of the more crucial chips to 2026 being the year of the laptop.
And in response, Team Red is bringing this prowess to more mid-range options with two new Strix Halo chips. These reduce the total CPU cores and the clock speed, while giving you that same 40-core GPU, and I’m so excited to see these capabilities come at better prices.
