Several weeks into testing the AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 395 flagship " Strix Halo" SoC within the HP ZBook Ultra G1a, I continue to be very impressed with its performance capabilities for a wide range of workloads. While the Radeon 8060S integrated graphics easily turn heads and the 16-core / 32-thread Zen 5 cores deliver incredible performance in a laptop form factor, one feature not to be discounted that together really helps make this laptop/SFF SoC an excellent choice for AI use and other scientific computing purposes is the presence of AVX-512. The ZBook Ultra G1a is equipped with the 16-core AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 395 SoC, 64GB of LPDDR5-8000 memory, 2TB WD SN810 SSD, and running on the laptop during this round of benchmarking was Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with the Linux 6.11 kernel.
