But with 256-bit memory bus maybe?View attachment 111387
Ryzen AI Max Pro 380 is overlapping with the Ryzen AI HX 370 in terms of specifications.
Same 16 CU RDNA3.5 GPU, but only 6 CPU cores?
You raise an interesting point; Will all the Strix Halo SKUs have the same 256 bit memory bus?But with 256-bit memory bus maybe?

For the Ryzen Ai Max Pro 380's 16 CU GPU, 128 bit LPDDR5X-8000 and 32 MB SLC would be sufficient to feed it.
That's the fastest (currently) qualified jedec speed for SO-DIMMs. As for the earlier comment, not everyone will need full implementation AVX-512. The one on Strix is no worse than Zen4, which was praised for it's performance as well. In addition, AMD has stated that the same AGESA changes that improved the cross CCX latencies for the desktop chips also help Strix.
In the end, we already see that Strix in laptops is plenty good enough for most games, with or even (with appropriate settings) without a DGPU. AMD's APUs have had better IMCs than their regular desktop parts and there's no reason to believe that Strix is an exception.
It would make a great ITX chip for compact chassis with good RAM. For an inexpensive 1080p monitor or running a TV, it would be just fine.
I just don't think it will be cheap. The alternative is Kraken, but they appear to have notably reduced it's PCIe capabilities to the point that it doesn't make sense in anything but low end laptops.
UB doesn't work like that. If reality contradicts their opinion, they'll adjust reality, not their opinion.Can you run Userbenchmark after max tunning your 9800x3d so it tops the charts ?
I wanna see the owner melt
Not everyone wants a fully fixed configuration MiniPC that, for the good ones, is more expensive than a decent spec miniITX box. Having an x16 slot that can be used for anything is VERY appealing. Need special I/O? Need a bunch more SSDs? Want a 10Gbps nic? It's all possible. Not everyone needs the highest end GPU.It really depends on what kind of PC are you trying to achieve.
If looking to a PC with dGPU, then none of the APUs make sense. It is better to just get a desktop CPU + dGPU.
If you decide on using iGPU, then what is the point of building full PC, when MiniPC can do the same job, in a smaller package, at lower price. And they don't use socketed CPUs, they use notebook package CPU.
Strix Point is not ideal configuration in any case. Actually, quite sub-optimal. 2 ring buses, one with 16 MB L3 and only 4 cores, and 2nd ring bus with 8 MB of L3 and 8x Zen 5c cores.
Kraken will apparently fix this and (if binned equally) will perform better than Strix Point (except in Cinebench). With smaller die, lower cost.
Then, on the high end, Strix Halo will offer superior performance all around.
I couldn't disagree more.AMD Marketing Brain(Dead) Thrust in full force, again.
They are still pushing brain dead 12 core SKU and pair it with the highest end iGPU configuration. While at the same time, they pair the most desirable 8 core SKU with lower end, partially disabled iGPU.
If their naming scheme should have made any sense the PRO 385 should be 380 and the 380 should be 360.View attachment 111389
If there was an 8C + 40 CU sku, it would be the golden option for gamers.
I wonder if down the line we could have:

Are you sure they won't be 9000M?The mobile variants will be 8000M but they will be RDNA4.
RDNA4 will be much much better than 3.5 and I hope Strix Halo buyers won’t be fooled into thinking they are buying an SoC with RDNA4. I don’t even know Strix Halo why is releasing with RDNA3.5 instead of 4 unless it was internally delayed.
AMD needs to fire their pathetic marketing department
Given the headroom we are seeing on the 9800X3D, I suggest ignoring that “leak”. I would be extremely surprised if the 9950X3D has a peak clock that low.IIRC that leak showed the same 5.2ghz Fmax boost for the 9950x3d, which may hint that both CCDs are v-cached, or that the 2nd CCD is trash bin
