First unveiled in March, the Evo-X2 is now available for pre-order in the US… kind of. If you visit the GMK website you can reserve one of […]

Let's get into the #RyzenAI HX 390 MAX rabbit hole for a moment.
Which is the cheaper model that has been announced?
I'll tell you. The #FrameworkDesktop Motherboard at $800 with (soldered) 32GB LPDDR5. Not a consumer-oriented product.
So yeah, the bulk of consumers will pick an RTX computer or a Mac.
Kudos to AMD and HP for making Strix Halo dead on arrival 
Your are better served with an RTX laptop or a MacBook Pro M4, both available today. This ain’t it, chief.
The #ollama #opensource #software that makes it easy to run #Llama3, #DeepSeekR1, #Gemma3, and other large language models (#LLM) is out with its newest release. The ollama software makes it easy to leverage the llama.cpp back-end for running a variety of LLMs and enjoying convenient integration with other desktop software.
The new ollama 0.6.2 Release Features Support For #AMD #StrixHalo, a.k.a. #RyzenAI Max+ laptop / SFF desktop SoC.

AMD Strix Halo is coming to more mini PCs (eventually)
AMD’s Ryzen AI Max “Strix Halo” processors are high-performance mobile chips with integrated graphics that can rival recent mid-range discrete GPUs, support for up to 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, and an NPU that offers up to 50 TOPS of hardware-accelerated AI performance.
So far only a couple of companies have announced PCs that will actually use the chips though. There’s the Asus ROG Flow Z13 […]

#Framework Desktop:
- $1,099 - Max 385 (8c/16t + 32c iGPU) 32GB
- $1,599 - Max+ 395 (16c/32t + 40c iGPU) 64GB
- $1,999 - Max+ 395 (16c/32t + 40c iGPU) 128GB
No SSD. No OS. No CPU Fan. No Expansion Card.
Yeah, thanks but no thanks. By the time these ship in Q3 2025 (July-September) you will have competitive laptops with #StrixHalo and an #RTX on shelves, and the #MacStudio.
The #Framework Desktop PC really is something I'm interested in, but I wonder how the pricing will work.
At $1,099 doesn't seem too bad, buy even then it still has to battle with laptops with an RTX at that price point.
Again, the #RTX + Intel combo is readily available in terms of graphics and #AI power, so I don't see this flying off from shelves, but what do I know.
Wow, Strix Halo desktop crashed the site

Asus could be working on a NUC mini PC with an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Strix Halo processor
Since taking over the NUC line of mini PCs from Intel in 2023, Asus has continued to offer small desktops with Intel and AMD processor options. But so far the company has only used the NUC brand for models with Intel processors, while marketing AMD-powered systems as ExpertCenter systems.
But it looks like that could soon change. As spotted by @Olrak29_, an entry on the website of an Indian […]
AMD has unveiled the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, claiming to outperform Nvidia's RTX 4090 in AI efficiency and gaming benchmarks #AMD #StrixHalo #RyzenAIMax #CES2025 #AI #Gaming #NPU #AIComputing

No Radeon graphic cards. Bold claim that Llama 70B runs “faster” than a RTX 4090 (because just RAM lol, 
Another year, another #AMDissapointment. Hope #StrixHalo nails it on price, but my guess is that MacBooks will make more sense performance-per-watt (which they didn’t pointed out)
Overall, very mild.
So much ado about #StrixHalo but no price.
My guess is that these “design wins” will be very narrow because price-wise these don’t (and won’t) make sense.
