Overview

  • AMD's Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 APU delivers over 3x the performance of NVIDIA's RTX 5080 in DeepSeek R1 AI benchmarks, leveraging its 128GB unified memory advantage.
  • The processor is up to 12.2x faster than Intel's Core Ultra 7 258V in large language model tasks and excels in vision models with up to 7x faster performance in IBM Granite Vision benchmarks.
  • AMD's innovative memory architecture supports up to 128GB unified memory, far exceeding competitors, and can dynamically allocate up to 96GB as VRAM for handling large AI models locally.
  • The APU is optimized for running local AI workloads, including Llama and LM Studio, enabling advanced AI capabilities without relying on cloud infrastructure.
  • While the APU consumes more power than Intel's Core Ultra 7 258V, it remains competitive in thin-and-light laptops and is positioned as a strong alternative to NVIDIA's delayed RTX 50-series GPUs.
