The first benchmark results for AMD’s Ryzen Artificial Intelligence Max+ 392, a member of the Strix Halo family announced at CES 2026, have appeared and indicate strong performance for a laptop focused processor. The chip is positioned for more accessible gaming laptops while bringing many of the architectural features and capabilities seen in higher end parts from AMD’s recent lineup.
The Ryzen Artificial Intelligence Max+ 392 is described as a 12-core/24-thread CPU using two CCDs, clock speeds of 3.2 GHz base and boost clocks reaching 5.0 GHz, a full-featured Radeon 8060S iGPU with all 40 CU enabled, a 50 TOPS NPU, and a configurable TDP range of 45 W to 120 W. The platform supports LPDDR5X memory speeds up to 8533 MT/s and configurations with up to 128 GB of memory. This specification mix is intended to balance high CPU throughput, robust integrated graphics, and a dedicated neural processing unit in a single SoC design.
The performance numbers come from an ASUS TUF Gaming A14 (TX Air FA401EA) laptop running the Ryzen Artificial Intelligence Max+ 392 with 64 GB of LPDDR5X memory at 8000 MT/s. In Geekbench 6, the system achieved scores of 2,917 points (single-core) and 18,071 points (multicore). The article reports that the multicore result slightly edges out the desktop Ryzen 9 7900X and comes close to newer Zen 5 desktop parts, suggesting that this mobile focused chip can keep pace with recent desktop class CPUs. The early results support the view that more affordable AMD Strix Halo SKUs can still deliver strong CPU throughput while maintaining a high-end iGPU configuration, and laptops based on Ryzen Artificial Intelligence Max+ 392 and Ryzen Artificial Intelligence Max+ 388 (8-core/16-thread CPU, single CCD, 3.60 GHz base with 5.00 GHz boost) are expected to reach retail during the first half of the year.
