AMD’s upcoming flagship Strix Halo APU, featuring the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with integrated Radeon 8060S graphics, has been spotted on Geekbench. This powerful 16-core CPU boasts impressive specs, but early benchmarks reveal interesting performance comparisons against discrete GPUs. Learn more about its capabilities and what to expect at CES 2025.
Apple’s new iPad mini (2024) is out, and benchmarks show significant performance improvements over its predecessor. However, it still lags behind the iPhone 15 Pro in some areas. Learn about the key upgrades, including a powerful new chipset, boosted RAM, and the upcoming AI toolkit support.
Primate Labs, known for its popular Geekbench benchmark, has released Geekbench AI 1.0, a new benchmarking suite designed to test the performance of machine learning, deep learning, and AI-centric workloads across different platforms. This release comes after years of development and collaboration with industry experts, aiming to provide a reliable and relevant benchmark for evaluating AI performance.
Intel’s next-generation Core Ultra 9 288V ‘Lunar Lake’ CPU has made an appearance on Geekbench, showcasing its impressive performance, particularly in single-core tasks. However, the multi-core performance appears to lag behind AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 ‘Strix Point’ APU, which boasts significantly higher scores. The Lunar Lake CPU features a higher PL1 power setting of 30W, 32GB of on-package memory, and integrated Xe2-GPU graphics based on the new Battlemage architecture.
According to a Geekbench test entry, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 may run on the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset as its predecessor, the Z Flip 5, instead of the expected Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. However, the listing indicates an increase in memory to 12GB RAM. This is in contrast to previous Z Flip models, which all used 8GB RAM. Samsung has reportedly been experimenting with different performance packages for the Z Flip 6, including the possibility of an Exynos 2400 chip in some regions. While outdated tech may not significantly impact the Z Flip series, which prioritizes other features over raw performance, it could result in a lower price point for the device, especially in light of competition from cheaper foldables like the Motorola Razr 2023 and Nubia Flip 5G.
