Get ready for a serious leap forward in integrated graphics performance! AMD’s upcoming Strix Halo APU, codenamed “Strix Point”, is about to revolutionize the way we think about integrated graphics. The heart of this powerhouse is the Radeon 8060S GPU, packing a whopping 40 Compute Units based on the latest RDNA 3.5 architecture.
According to leaks from the reputable Chinese leaker “Golden Pig Upgrade”, the Strix Halo APU will deliver groundbreaking performance, potentially matching or even exceeding the capabilities of NVIDIA’s current GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU. This is a huge statement, considering the RTX 4070 is a dedicated graphics card, not an integrated solution.
The Strix Halo APU is expected to offer a massive 16 cores and 32 threads, a significant upgrade from the 12 cores and 24 threads found in the previous generation. It will also feature the new Ryzen AI 300 series processor technology, further enhancing its computational prowess.
While we don’t have all the details yet, the leaked information suggests that the Strix Halo APU will be available in various configurations. The top-of-the-line Ryzen AI MAX+ / PRO 395 variant will boast the 8060S GPU with 40 CUs. Meanwhile, a lower-end model, the Ryzen AI MAX / PRO 385, will feature the 8050S GPU with 32 CUs. The specifics of the lower-end iGPU configuration with 16 CUs remain unknown, but it could be either an 8050S or 8040S variant.
The Strix Halo APU is poised to be a game-changer for gamers, content creators, and anyone who needs a powerful, yet compact, computing solution. With its incredible performance and the promise of a new era of integrated graphics, this upcoming APU is sure to make waves in the tech world.
