It's a shame Samsung isn't supporting AMD Halo, currently the best laptop processor on the market. People are hoping for more AMD AI Max Halo laptops at a lower price; that's all that's needed. You don't need a top-of-the-line CPU like a 395+; a 380 or 385, with its practically identical iGPU, is perfectly adequate in a good laptop priced between €1000 and €1500, and they sell like hotcakes.

HERE ARE THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF AMD HALO that 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
