Since the introduction of Strix Point by AMD, enthusiasts have eagerly awaited information about the high-end Strix Halo APUs with integrated graphics that are rumored to be powerful enough to not require discrete graphics. Leaks about the upcoming performance mobile APU lineup have been steadily coming out, and a new Geekbench leak now reveals the CPU performance of the Ryzen AI+ Max 395 APU. This APU features a 16-core configuration made up entirely of Zen 5 cores, unlike Strix Point which includes a mix of Zen 5 and the smaller Zen 5c cores. The results are quite impressive, with the APU scoring 2,849 points in single-core performance and a remarkable 20,708 points in multicore performance.
As noted by Videocardz, these scores surpass AMD's current top-end mobile offering, the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D, which scores around 16,900 points in the multicore test. However, the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D does have a slight edge in single-core performance with around 2,900 points. It is worth mentioning that the ROG Flow Z13 laptop housing the APU is likely still in the testing phase, so there is potential for even better performance in the final product.
On the other hand, the Apple M4 Max SoC remains in a league of its own with 3,800 points in single-core performance and an impressive 25,000 points in multicore performance. With CES 2025 approaching, it won't be long before the Ryzen AI Max+ lineup is officially unveiled and available to consumers.
