The official release of AMD Ryzen AI 300 (Strix Point) mobile processors took place the day before. Laptops with the new “red” platform can already be purchased in large foreign stores, and the first independent reviews have been published online. The new products will appear in Ukraine a little later.
We talked about the main features of the AMD Ryzen AI 300 mobile chips in the article on the occasion of the announcement. In short, the new processors are manufactured using TSMC’s 4-nm technology, contain up to 12 cores (four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c), up to 24 MB of L3 cache, integrated RDNA 3.5 generation graphics (up to 16 Compute Units) and an NPU unit with a performance of 50-55 TOPS for accelerating AI applications. The TDP level can be configured in the range from 15 to 54 W.
As independent tests have shown, the transition to the Zen 5 architecture has provided the Ryzen AI 300 processors with a good increase in performance. The new products are not only more powerful than their predecessors, but also often outpace competitors from Intel and Qualcomm, although much depends on the TDP level. The same applies to the integrated RDNA 3.5 graphics, where the increase in performance relative to RDNA 3 was achieved mainly due to the increase in the number of computing units. Among other things, foreign colleagues note the high energy efficiency of the new processors.
At the same time, the range of laptops on the AMD Ryzen AI 300 (Strix Point) platform leaves much to be desired. Only ASUS offers a good model range so far. Let’s hope that other AMD partners will catch up soon.
