Along with the announcement of the AMD Ryzen AI 400 MAX processor chip, they also introduced their own AI processing computer called AMD Ryzen AI Halo which features the AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 processor chip from the previous generation.
This processing chip comes with 16 AMD Zen 5 cores and comes with a base speed of 3.1GHz with the ability to overclock up to 5.1GHz and houses the AMD Radeon 8060S graphics processing chip built into it. Along with this chip is also 128GB of built-in LPDDR5X memory which can be shared as VRAM with the graphics chip.
The main advantage of the AMD Ryzen AI Halo computer when compared to the NVIDIA DGX Spark is that the computer powered by the AMD chip can run both Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems, while NVIDIA's offering can only run Linux operating systems.
In terms of AI processing capabilities, the Ryzen AI Halo computer comes with 50 AI TOPS, and this does not include the 40 CU cores shown through the AMD Radeon 8060S graphics chip. Similar to the DGX Spark, this AMD AI computer can run a language model with 200 billion parameters.
The AMD Ryzen AI Development Center is an interface developed with support for Windows and Linux operating systems that allows AI developers to reduce the time to configure their software on the computer so that the process of building and deploying AI systems can be started quickly. AMD AI Playbooks is a set of documentation and scripts that help developers shorten their learning curve on the platform.
Pre-orders for the AMD Ryzen AI Halo have already opened at $3999 with the AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 APU. They also confirmed that the Ryzen AI Halo computer with the AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ Pro 495 chip will also be introduced later.
