AMD · Mid-range

An APU with a large integrated GPU and up to 128GB of unified memory, sold in compact mini PCs. Up to 96GB of that memory can be assigned as VRAM, which lets it run models far larger than any single consumer discrete card, at low power.

Specifications

Unified memory 96GB
Memory bandwidth 256 GB/s
Power draw 120W
Type mini pc

Sold in mini PCs typically in the region of a mid-range desktop. The 128GB configuration, with up to 96GB assignable as VRAM, is the one that matters for large models.

AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Strix Halo): common questions

What models can the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Strix Halo) run?

How much power does the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Strix Halo) draw?
About 120W under load, so pair it with a power supply that has real headroom.

Strengths

  • Up to 96GB assignable as VRAM, running models no single consumer GPU can hold
  • Low power draw in a compact, quiet mini PC
  • A capable integrated GPU with unified memory, unlike a discrete card

Weaknesses

  • Memory bandwidth is well below a discrete GPU, so generation is slower
  • The wider AMD software stack is less mature than CUDA
  • A newer platform, so tooling and community support are still growing
