Golden Pig Upgrade delivers another leak from AMD.



As previously noted by the same leaker, AMD might introduce another differentiator in the Ryzen naming scheme. The products, said to be part of the Max lineup, are expected to be powered by the highly anticipated Strix Halo APU.

Allegedly, AMD is working on three SKUs, featuring up to 16 Zen 5 cores and up to 40 Compute Units for graphics. This configuration is rumored to power the flagship SKU, contrary to earlier reports suggesting AMD might scrap such a variant. In fact, at least two models in the new lineup are expected to feature 40 RDNA 3.5 Compute Units.

• Ryzen AI Max+ 395: 16 Zen5 cores and 40 RDNA 3.5 Compute Units
  
• Ryzen AI Max 390: 12 Zen5 cores and 40 RDNA 3.5 Compute Units
  
• Ryzen AI Max 385: 8 Zen5 cores and 32 RDNA 3.5 Compute Units
  

The Strix Halo APU uses two CCDs with 8 cores each. There’s at least one variant that would use only one core chiplet, which might be an ideal solution for gaming devices. The leaked lineup doesn’t list any GPU specs below 32 CUs, which is already twice as many as Strix Point (16 CUs).

Both the name and specs clearly suggest that AMD is targeting the mobile workstation segment, currently overtaken by Apple’s M-Series. Hopefully, the pricing will remain competitive, and the product will also reach the consumer segment, especially gaming systems.
