The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor boasts 16 Zen 5 cores, 32 threads, and a 5.1 GHz peak clock speed. Additionally, it integrates 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units, delivering solid graphics performance via the Radeon 8060S iGPU.
According to benchmarks, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 outpaces the Intel Lunar Lake Core Ultra 9 288V in CPU tasks by threefold and surpasses NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4090 in AI performance tests.
With a configurable TDP of 45-120W, the processor balances efficiency and performance, positioning itself as a competitive choice for AI workloads, gaming, and mobile workstations.
This platform adopts LPDDR5x memory, achieving a bandwidth of up to 256GB/s. It also integrates a 50TOPS “XDNA 2” NPU, providing impressive AI performance tailored towards Windows 11 AI+ PCs.
The Max+ 395 specs suggest that the new GMK mini PC will likely surpass the performance of the current Evo X1 model, which features a Ryzen Strix Point HX 370 APU and is priced at $919.
