2024-12-10
Arrr! Thar be news from the briny deep! The Strix Halo flagship be makin’ waves in a sneaky benchmark, yet it raises the jolly roger of doubt—might this chip be meant fer landlubber machines, not fer hearty gaming vessels? Yarrr, me hearties, what be the tale?
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round fer I’ve got news hotter than a cannonball on a summer's day! The crafty folk at AMD be settin' sail with their new Strix Halo chips, soon to be unleashed upon the sea of laptops. They call this fine piece o’ tech the Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395, and it’s already spied on the high seas of Geekbench, flashin’ a 5.1GHz boost like a pirate’s finest parrot!But hold yer horses, savvy? This beauty clocked in at a measly 67,004 in Vulkan performance, which be slower than a turtle in a treasure hunt! The scallywags over at VideoCardz reckon it be laggin' behind the RX 7600 desktop card, which scores a grand 90,000. Yet, let not yer spirits sink, for this be but an early sample, and I reckon it’ll perform like a ship in full wind once the final version sets sail!
Rumors be swirl’n like a whirlpool that this here Strix Halo may be a workstation-only treasure, leavin' gaming notebooks in the dust with lesser chips. So, keep yer eyes peeled for the grand reveal at CES 2025, where we’ll find out if we be gettin’ a true gaming beast or just another ol’ sea dog!
