AMD specialists are currently working on Strix Halo mobile processors. Samples of the new “stones” are not only circulating between the chipmaker’s laboratories, which is confirmed by records in customs databases, but have already been sent to AMD partners for further testing. This became known thanks to the Geekbench test package.
An HP test system with a processor with the AMD 100-000001422-31_N identifier was spotted in the online benchmark database. Foreign colleagues are confident that this is an engineering sample of the Strix Halo APU. It is characterized by the presence of eight Zen 5 cores with a maximum frequency of 5.36 GHz and 32 megabytes of L3 cache. Unfortunately, Gekbench does not disclose any information about the configuration of the graphics unit. But given that AMD partners are already actively testing Strix Halo, the appearance of additional information is a matter of time.
Earlier, confidential AMD documents appeared on the Internet, which reveal the main features of the Strix Halo processors. In them, the company will use a multi-chip layout, combining up to two chiplets with eight Zen 5 cores and 32 MB of L3 cache in each and a large input-output chip. It contains an RDNA 3.5 graphics module with 40 Compute Units, an NPU block with a performance of 60 TOPS and a 256-bit LPDDR5X-8000 RAM controller with 32 megabytes of cache (similar to Infinity Cache).
The official release of AMD Strix Halo processors is scheduled for next year. We will add that the first laptops based on Ryzen AI 300 (Strix Point) chips will go on sale in the coming days. They will offer up to 12 x86 cores (four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c), integrated RDNA 3.5 graphics with 16 Compute Units and an NPU block with a capacity of 50 TOPS.
