The focus of the technology development world is now moving towards the development of components and devices that prioritize AI systems, AMD today launched their latest processor chip, the AMD Ryzen AI MAX 400 series which is present with a focus on utilizing and developing AI systems.
This processor chip is not new, it is based on the AMD Ryzen MAX 300 “Strix Halo” processor chip series launched last year, which showed a focus on building gaming computers with unique designs, such as the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 gaming tablet computer.
The AMD Ryzen AI MAX 400 with the code name “Gorgon Halo” comes with an update to its memory controller chip, which allows all processor chip models in this series, namely the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 490 and AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 to come with a total of 192GB of built-in LPDDR5X memory.
Although this is essentially the same processor as the previous AMD Ryzen AI 300 MAX, these new chips come with a CPU overclock speed of up to 5.2GHz (up from 5.1GHz previously) and 3.0GHz for the GPU component.
Another additional feature of this APU is that users can modify the amount of VRAM memory shared by the AMD Radeon 8065S and Radeon 8050S GPU components by 160GB. It also houses an NPU with the ability to process AI instructions as high as 55 and 50 TOPS. In the meantime, this APU chip also comes with the ability to master a language model (LLM) with 300 billion parameters.
Soon, AMD will also start introducing compact computers such as the Mac Mini, Intel NUC and NVIDIA DGX Spark powered by this processing chip called AMD Ryzen AI Halo.
