AMD Introduces Ryzen AI Max+ 392 and 388: Powerful Processors for Thin Systems
AMD has recently introduced two new additions to its Ryzen AI Max+ “Strix Halo” lineup, the Ryzen AI Max+ 392 and Ryzen AI Max+ 388. The Ryzen AI Max+ 392 features 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Ryzen AI Max+ 388 has 8 cores and 16 threads. Both chips come with a full RDNA 3.5 iGPU with 40 compute units and an XDNA 2 NPU capable of up to 50 TOPS of AI performance.
These new Ryzen AI Max+ processors are designed for thin systems that require workstation-level performance, such as laptops, tablets, and mini PCs. AMD has already secured early OEM adoption from companies like Acer, ASUS, HP, and Lenovo, indicating a strong market interest in these chips.
The Ryzen AI Max+ 388, with its full 40-CU iGPU and reduced CPU core count, seems to be a suitable choice for gaming handheld-style devices. This configuration allows OEMs to strike a balance between power, thermals, and battery life while still offering top-tier integrated GPU performance.
While AMD has not disclosed specific devices that will use these new chips, SIXUNITED has already expressed plans to incorporate them into their systems. The first systems featuring the Ryzen AI Max+ 392 and Ryzen AI Max+ 388 are expected to hit the market in the first quarter of 2026.
