The big picture: AMD has lifted the embargo on Ryzen AI Max 300 reviews, allowing tech blogs and YouTube channels to share performance details. While all Strix Halo APUs pack powerful CPU and GPU cores, reviews of the flagship Max+ 395 suggest its integrated GPU comes surprisingly close to the RTX 4070 laptop GPU in some games. Hardware Canucks' review found that the Radeon 8060S iGPU in the AI Max+ 395 outperformed a laptop running an RTX 4070 at 70W nearly the same power draw as the entire AI Max+ 395. Despite its lower power consumption, the 8060S delivered higher frame rates than the RTX 4070 in popular titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Doom Eternal.Even the AI Max 390 put up stunning numbers, with its Radeon 8950S iGPU matching and sometimes outperforming the RTX 4060 in some games, even at a native 1600p resolution. The reviewer pitted the Strix Halo chips against the Nvidia discrete GPUs in several other games, such as Rainbow 6: Siege, Red Dead Redemption, and The Callisto Protocol, with each yielding similar results with minor discrepancies.For example, in Cyberpunk 2077, the AI Max+ 395 with the Radeon 8060S averaged 39 fps, while the AI Max 390 with the Radeon 8050S hit 35 fps.By comparison, the RTX 4070 paired with the Ryzen 9 8945HS reached 37 fps, while the RTX 4060 paired with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 managed 36 fps.Benchmarks published by NotebookCheck show similar results, with some exceptions. For example, in 3DMark 11, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 laptop GPU in a Razer Blade PC scored 44,315 points, while the Radeon RX 8060S in the ROG Flow Z13 managed 40,732 points. In some games, like GTA V, the Nvidia GPUs proved too strong for the AMD chip, achieving up to 37 percent higher frame rates at 1080p with the highest settings.The publication also tested the 8060S against Arm chips from Apple and Qualcomm, with the AMD chip proving significantly faster than the Qualcomm SoC. However, the situation changed with the Apple M4, as the 8060S mostly scored between the two M4 Pro GPUs, depending on the specific benchmark. // Related StoriesAll reviews of the AI Max+ 395 focus on the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 convertible, one of at least three devices set to ship with Strix Halo APUs. Asus has yet to announce pricing, but online rumors suggest the starting price could be around $2,000.
