AMD has introduced the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, a new APU codenamed Gorgon Halo. This processor builds upon the foundation of the Zen 5 architecture. It represents a significant step in the company's high-performance mobile computing lineup.
The chip features 16 cores and 32 threads. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 5.2 GHz. The integrated graphics utilize the RDNA 3.5 architecture. AMD identifies the specific graphics model as the Radeon 8065S. This GPU operates at a clock speed of 3.0 GHz. It contains 40 compute units based on the RDNA 3.5 design.
The APU supports LPDDR5X memory with a maximum capacity of 192 GB. Testing has confirmed the use of eight 24 GB SK hynix modules to achieve this total. Performance claims from PassMark benchmark data indicate that the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 offers approximately 4% higher multicore performance than the previous Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 Strix Halo. Single-core performance shows an increase of about 3 percent. The boost clock is roughly 100 MHz higher than the prior generation. Some analysis suggests the Radeon 8065S is an overclocked version of the Radeon 8060S. However, the graphics core count appears unchanged. The improvement in system memory bandwidth remains unconfirmed.
The upgrade is considered more significant for AI developers than for general gamers. AMD has not confirmed the launch window for this product. No pricing or availability details have been provided for the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495.
