What AMD is releasing is a true beast that not even NovaLAKE, which won't be released until 2027, will be able to surpass.
AMD's impressive work is doing.
But right now we need more laptops with AMD HALO, at least the 380 and 385 versions.
You don't need a superior CPU, a 395+; just put a 380 or 385, whose iGPU is practically the same, in a good laptop priced between €1,000 and €1,500, and they sell like hotcakes.
👉 HERE ARE THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF AMD HALO, which everyone wants.
Model,--------Zen 5 cores,-----Max Boost,-------Cache,-----------GPU (CUs),TDP
Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 16/32,5.1 GHz, ----80 MB,Radeon 8060S (40),45-120 W
Ryzen AI Max 390, 12/24,5.0 GHz, --- 76 MB,Radeon 8050S (32),45-120 W
Ryzen AI Max 385, 8/16,5.0 GHz, ----- 40 MB,Radeon 8050S (32),45-120 W
Ryzen AI Max 380, 6/12,4.9 GHz, -----22 MB,Radeon 8040S (16),45-120 W

Actually Nova Lake is on track for late 2026 release ahead of Zen 6 which is early 2027. I would not buy Zen 5 at all. Hugely disappointing on Windows and the 9950X is already massively bandwidth starved. Zen 6 fixes a multitude of problems with Zen 5: latency, faster fabric, faster memory, larger ccd's, much higher clocks etc.
I'll be waiting for either 12 core 10800X3D or 18 core (IMO) 10900X3D from AMD or Nova Lake Ultra 7 with 42 cores (14P+24E+4LPE).
