The huge integrated GPUs of AMD Strix Halo processors would be called Radeon 8060S and 8050S

In September, Thibaut presented to you what would be the future range of Strix Halo processors, AMD’s future mobile APUs with supercharged integrated GPUs. New rumors have just appeared on the internet, via the renowned leaker Golden Pig Upgrade on bilibili, which provide some additional details on what we could expect. On the program are the hypothetical names of the new Strix Halo integrated GPUs, but also a possible 4th processor, which did not appear in previous rumors.

As the previous rumor announced on this subject, we would first be entitled to the flagship Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 with its 16 Zen 5 cores and its 40 RDNA 3.5 cores. This integrated GPU would be named Radeon 8060S and we would therefore also find it in the Ryzen AI MAX 390 with 12 CPU cores. Here again, as the September rumor already announced, the Ryzen AI MAX 385equipped with 8 CPU cores and a graphics part a notch lower since it would go to 32 GPU cores and a commercial name which would then be Radeon 8050S.

The novelty is that there could also be a Ryzen AI MAX 380 with only 6 Zen 5 cores and a GPU which is also severely castrated, with 16 RDNA 3.5 cores and whose name has not yet been revealed (Radeon 8040S, perhaps?). Some might wonder about the interest of such a processor when there already exists the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Strix Point whose GPU has 16 RDNA 3.5 cores, but remember that the principle of the Strix Halo would be, among other things , to free the mobile processor consumption limit (TDP), potentially up to 130 W, in order to let the power of the APU express itself. Under these conditions, we can imagine that this Ryzen AI MAX 380 would undoubtedly have even better in-game performance than the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, at the cost of higher consumption.

To finish this brief, here is a summary, in the form of a table, of the current state of rumors about the AMD Strix Halo range at the beginning of November 2024. We remind you that all of this is to be taken in the conditional for the moment , in the absence of any confirmation yet from AMD. A little clarification on a line with an unusual name: the MALL Cache would basically be the equivalent of the Infinity Cache of Radeon graphics cards, a cache memory for the integrated GPU in the case of the Strix Halo.
