AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388
The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388, announced at CES 2026, is an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 5 processor from the Strix Halo family. It pairs 32 MB of L3 cache with the full 40-CU Radeon 8060S graphics, a 256-bit LPDDR5X-8000 memory interface and a 50 TOPS NPU, within a configurable 45-120 W TDP range.
Pros
- Full 40-CU Radeon 8060S graphics scored 9801 in Time Spy Graphics in review testing of the Asus ProArt PX13
- Eight Zen 5 cores and 16 threads with boost up to 5.0 GHz scored 2872 single-core and 14915 multi-core in Geekbench 6.7 in review testing
- 256-bit LPDDR5X-8000 memory interface supports up to 128 GB shared between the CPU and GPU
- 50 TOPS NPU, with up to 118 TOPS of combined AI performance according to AMD
- Configurable 45-120 W TDP range lets laptop makers tune power and noise, as in the ProArt PX13, which offers 50/40 W, 65/55 W and 85/70 W power modes
Cons
- Only eight cores and 32 MB of L3 cache: an Asus ProArt PX13 with this chip scored 18759 in Cinebench R23 multi-core in review testing, against 30959 for a PX13 with the 16-core Ryzen AI Max+ 395
- Performance depends on the laptop's power limit: Cinebench 2024 multi-core was 744 at 50/40 W and 980 at 85/70 W in the same ProArt PX13
- The same Radeon 8060S scored 9801 in Time Spy Graphics in that PX13, about 6% below the 10434 of a PX13 with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395
- AMD lists only 256-bit LPDDR5X memory with no SO-DIMM option, so capacity is fixed at purchase
