The AMD Strix Halo processor family has added another member. In the PassMark database, a CPU model named "Ryzen AI Max+ 388" appeared for the first time.By reducing the number of CPU cores, this processor is expected to bring flagship-level integrated graphics performance to the gaming notebook and mini PC markets at a more affordable price.
In terms of specific running scores, Ryzen AI Max+ 388 scored 4145 points and 31702 points respectively in PassMark's single-core and multi-core CPU benchmark tests.
The Ryzen AI Max+ 388 is consistent with the top model of the series, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395, integrating Radeon 8060S with 40 RDNA 3.5 computing units.
It is worth mentioning that the performance of the Radeon 8060S is expected to be between the RTX 4060 Laptop and the RTX 4070 Laptop, which is fully sufficient to run 3A masterpieces smoothly at a frame rate of more than 60FPS at 1080p resolution.
The main difference between the Ryzen AI Max+ 388 and the 395 is the number of CPU cores, which is halved from the 16 Zen 5 cores of the 395 to 8 Zen 5 cores, which means that the 388 is likely to be equipped with only 1 CCD chip.
This configuration has a relatively small impact on game performance and AI computing, but it can significantly reduce costs, making the 388 more affordable.
There are reports that Ryzen AI Max+ 388 may be a product limited to the Chinese market, focusing on the entry-level gaming laptop and mini PC markets.
