AMD Ryzen's new processor running scores may be equipped with the current second strong core graphics

[ Gearbest Technology News]Recently, some media saw the Strix Halo mid-range chip using AMD Zen 5 architecture on a mobile device. Compared with the flagship Ryzen AI Max Pro 395, which often has 16 cores and 32 threads, AMD has rarely launched the more cost-effective Ryzen AI Max Pro 385, which is good news for professional users who pursue AI computing power and graphics performance.

Since its release, the AMD Zen 5 Strix Halo series has been nearly monopolized by high-end devices. Among them, the Ryzen AI Max Pro 395 has become the first choice for major AI mini hosts and high-performance laptops. It is equipped with a 16-core 32-thread CPU and a Radeon 8060S graphics unit, with strong performance but high price. The Ryzen AI Max Pro 385 exposed this time provides a more “people-friendly” option. It is equipped with an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 5 processor, with a basic frequency of 3.6GHz, a maximum acceleration of 5.0GHz, and a Radeon 8050S core graphics card with built-in RDNA 3.5 architecture.

Although it is inferior to the Pro 395 in CPU specifications, the Ryzen AI Max Pro 385 is still remarkable in graphics performance. The Radeon 8050S only has 8 computing units less than the flagship Radeon 8060S, and is expected to become the second strongest nuclear graphics solution on the market, which is sufficient to be competent for 1080p game operation and basic creation graphics tasks.

It is reported that this chip appeared on HP's ZBook Ultra G1a 14-inch mobile workstation for the first time, marking the official launch of the Strix Halo mid-range solution. Previously, most devices equipped with Strix Halo architecture used flagship models, and their pricing was naturally “highly high”. The debut of Pro 385 is expected to lower the overall product price to less than US$1,500, further expanding the coverage of the Zen 5 architecture in the lightweight AI and creation market.

In terms of performance, Ryzen AI Max Pro 385 scored 2489 points in Geekbench 6 and 14136 points in multiple cores. Although the platform has limited reference value for actual performance, it also indirectly proves the comprehensive strength of the chip. In addition, the chip integrated NPU can provide up to 50 TOPS of AI computing power, with a total AI performance of more than 100 TOPS, which is impressive in AI inference and lightweight model computing.

For professional users who do not pursue extreme performance but still need strong core graphics and AI computing power, the Ryzen AI Max Pro 385 is undoubtedly a new choice worth paying attention to. As more manufacturers adopt this mid-range SKU, we are expected to see more high-performance, low-priced AI laptops and mini hosts on the market one after another in the future.
