AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392
The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392, announced at CES 2026, is a 12-core, 24-thread Zen 5 processor from the Strix Halo family. It pairs 64 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
- 12 Zen 5 cores and 24 threads with 64 MB of L3 cache and boost up to 5.0 GHz
- Scored 2867 single-core and 17334 multi-core in Geekbench 6 in review testing of the Asus TUF Gaming A14
- Full 40-CU Radeon 8060S graphics scored 11119 in Time Spy Graphics in review testing of the same laptop
- 256-bit LPDDR5X-8000 memory interface supports up to 128 GB shared between the CPU and GPU
- 50 TOPS NPU, with up to 122 TOPS of combined AI performance according to AMD
Cons
- 55 W default TDP with a configurable range up to 120 W calls for strong cooling; a CPU stress test of the 14-inch TUF Gaming A14 reached 84.6 W and a 96 °C core temperature in review testing
- AMD lists only 256-bit LPDDR5X memory with no SO-DIMM option, so capacity is fixed at purchase
- Launch systems are premium-priced, for example $2,199.99 for the TUF Gaming A14 with 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD in the US
