AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Strix Halo)

No editorial image yet — generic vendor mark shown. Credentials in spec table below.

AMD's first true Strix Halo chip, combining Zen 5 CPU cores, RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics, and a 50-TOPS XDNA 2 NPU on a single die. The headline feature for local AI is **up to 128 GB of unified LPDDR5X-8000 memory** that the GPU tile can address directly — meaningful for 70B-class models that don't fit on any consumer discrete GPU.

Sub-scores sum to 411 / 1000. Headline = 411 × 0.70 (Estimated-confidence discount) = 288. This is an algorithmic performance-tier score — distinct from, and often lower than, the editorial “Our verdict” below, which weighs value and real-world fit (especially for hardware we haven’t measured yet).

BLK · OVERVIEW

Overview

AMD's first true Strix Halo chip, combining Zen 5 CPU cores, RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics, and a 50-TOPS XDNA 2 NPU on a single die. The headline feature for local AI is **up to 128 GB of unified LPDDR5X-8000 memory** that the GPU tile can address directly — meaningful for 70B-class models that don't fit on any consumer discrete GPU. Memory bandwidth (~256 GB/s) sits well below a discrete card's GDDR6X / GDDR7 (which run 600-1500 GB/s), so tokens-per-second on large models is slower than dense-card alternatives. The trade-off operators are making: capacity over speed. Apple's M3/M4 Max chips compete in the same niche. Ships in mini-PCs and laptops from multiple OEMs through 2025-2026.
