AMD Ryzen AI Max+ "Strix Halo" On Linux?
Yesterday a number of Windows reviews began appearing for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 'Strix Halo' with the debut of the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 as the first laptop to ship this SoC with 16 cores / 32 threads, 64 MB L3 cache, and 40 graphics cores with the Radeon 8060S Graphics
As expected, AMD Strix Halo is a beast with its very capable CPU performance and very compelling integrated graphics, at least under Windows 11. With pricing on the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 starting out at $2,099.99 USD, this initial launch model is very expensive... With the state of the ad industry and ad-block use among readers, I don't plan on buying the laptop for Linux testing. If you end up picking up an AMD Ryzen AI MAX laptop, be sure to share your experiences in the Phoronix Forums for how well it's working and what the Linux performance is looking like especially for non-gaming/technical workloads.
