AMD Strix Halo Radeon 8060S Enjoys Improved Ray-Tracing With Mesa 25.2


With the Mesa 25.2 open-source OpenGL and Vulkan graphics driver code having been branched last week ahead of its stable release in August, I carried out some fresh benchmarks on AMD's exciting Strix Halo platform using the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 with Radeon 8060S Graphics to see where the Linux performance is now at for the RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics. This round of Mesa 25.2 open-source graphics driver benchmarking was done with the HP ZBook Ultra G1a with the flagship Strix Halo SKU, the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 with the Radeon 8060S (RDNA 3.5) integrated graphics. This premium AMD Strix Halo laptop was tested with Ubuntu 25.04 at its defaults of Linux 6.14 and Mesa 25.0.7 graphics drivers.
