Strix Halo vs. Strix Point, Krackan Point, and Hawk Point Refresh

AMD’s Halo Strix “Monster-APU” includes four different variants in the Ryzen Ai Max (+) 300 series. Kernen and 40 C of the RDNA-3.5 graphics solution.

In AI applications, AMD even put a GeForce RTX 4090 in the shade, although this is mainly due to the fact that Strix Halo can use 96 GB in a system with 128 GB of RAM as graphics memory, while the 4090 with 24 GB is not enough storage for the large language model used.

The following table shows the technical specifications of AMD mobile APUs for 2025 in comparison.
