AMD may launch its most powerful integrated GPU ever — in a gaming tablet

In August, an Asus thermal technologist goofed by revealing the existence of perchance the astir almighty tablet PC ever made — an Asus ROG Flow Z13 powered by an unannounced AMD “Strix Halo” chip, 1 boasting an unthinkable 80 watts of powerfulness for its GPU alone.

Now, VideoCardz is reporting that the spot (and tablet) are astir to go authoritative astatine CES 2025 adjacent period — arsenic the AMD Ryzen AI Max 395 Plus, a Zen 5 processor with Radeon 8060S graphics.

With 16 Zen 5 processor cores and an awesome 40 compute units worthy of AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics, VideoCardz points retired that it should beryllium AMD’s fastest portable spot ever made — acold outstripping erstwhile chips successful the graphics section successful particular. (The Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 had conscionable 16 GPU compute units — this is 2.5 times arsenic many.)

The leaks suggest that not each AI Max / Strix Halo chips volition beryllium equal; variants tipped arsenic the AI Max 390, AI Max 385, and AI Max 380 are expected to person arsenic fewer arsenic six CPU cores and arsenic fewer arsenic 16 RDNA graphics compute units. But online retailer leaks show the Asus tablet should connection the 2 highest-end parts with 40 compute units.

Otherwise, the aboriginal Asus ROG Flow Z13 leaks picture a tablet moving Windows 11 connected a 13.4-inch, 180Hz IPS touchscreen display, astatine a 16:10 facet ratio, with 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of storage.

I’m excited for what a immense leap successful laptop/tablet graphics mightiness unlock. It wasn’t that agelong agone that a caller question of AMD integrated graphics paved the mode for the handheld PC gaming revolution.

VideoCardz writes that AMD is “set to announce” the caller AI Max Plus bid astatine CES.
