AMD is set to launch a range of new Ryzen processors based on the Zen5 architecture for desktop and laptop users. Among them, the Strix Halo is positioned as a top-tier mobile platform with high specifications and power consumption, reaching up to 120W.
In a recent import and export goods list, the mention of Strix Halo confirms the use of a new packaging interface, FP11, with power consumption listed at a surprising 120W.
Rumors suggest that the minimum thermal design power will be 55W.
Interestingly, it will come with onboard memory, with capacities of 32GB and 64GB, likely directly soldered onto the motherboard.
Strix Halo will feature a chiplet integrated packaging design, with the CPU section expected to come in at least three configurations: 8, 12, or 16 cores, along with a maximum of 16MB L2 cache and 32MB L3 cache.
The GPU is upgraded to the RDNA3+ architecture, with up to 40 compute units. For context, the RX 7600 XT only has 32 units. Some sources suggest its performance could rival that of the mobile RTX 4060, with claims even reaching the level of the mobile RTX 4070!
Memory support extends up to LPDDR5X-8000, complemented by a unique 32MB MALL cache, akin to the current GPUs' infinity cache, both working in tandem to accelerate GPU performance.
The NPU computing power is also boosted to a maximum of 60 TOPS.
