The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 380 is a powerful Strix Halo family processor that debuted in January 2025. The APU comes equipped with 6 Zen 5 CPU cores running at up to 4.9 GHz, the 16 CU RDNA 3+ Radeon 8040S graphics adapter and the 50 TOPS XDNA 2 neural engine. Like other AI 300 PRO chips, the 380 features AMD Secure Processor (an on-package ARM security co-processor), Windows Device Guard and AMD-Vi. Other noteworthy features include PCIe 4, USB 4 and LPDDR5x-8000 RAM support.
Architecture and Features
Unlike it is with Strix Point, Strix Halo parts are powered by Zen 5 cores - no Zen 5c here. It's not clear if this is the desktop Zen 5 implementation with full AVX512 throughput or the mobile one. According to AMD, Zen 5 delivers a 16% IPC improvement over Zen 4 thanks to branch prediction improvements and other refinements.
Elsewhere, the AI Max PRO chip supports RAM as fast as LPDDR5x-8000, and is natively compatible with USB 4 (and therefore Thunderbolt). It has PCIe 4.0 support for a throughput of 1.9 GB/s per lane, just like its 8000 series predecessors did. The integrated XDNA 2 NPU delivers up to 50 INT8 TOPS for accelerating various AI workloads. The CPU's L3 cache isn't anything to write home about at 16 MB. The 390 and 395 AI Max PRO chips have 4x the amount.
Performance
Its CPU performance should be about as good as older octa-core AMD Ryzen CPUs, like the Ryzen 9 6900HX.
Graphics
The Radeon 8040S sports 16 RDNA 3+ architecture CUs (1024 unified shaders) meaning its gaming prowess should just about match that of the Radeon 890M. The latter is the graphics solution employed by several Strix Point chips such as the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375. Expect playable frame rates in most games at 1080p as long as you're fine with medium quality settings, or slightly lower.
Naturally, the Radeon is capable of driving four SUHD 4320p60 monitors. It can also efficiently encode and decode the most popular video codecs including AVC, HEVC, VP9 and AV1. The latest addition to that list, the VVC codec, is not supported unlike it is with Intel Lunar Lake chips.
Power consumption
The AI Max PRO 380 can eat up to 120 W depending on the system and its TDP power targets, with 45 W named as the minimum TDP.
The 4 nm TSMC process that the CPU cores are built with make for decent, as of Jan 2025, energy efficiency.
