The AMD AI Max 395 does include integrated graphics. It comes equipped with the Radeon 8060S iGPU, which offers respectable standalone performance and should not be overlooked.

Qwen3.5-27B dense AI LLM model architecture performs about as good as Qwen3.5-122B-A10B MoE AI LLM model architecture: huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-122B-A10B#benchmark-results.

And there is Qwen3.6-27B, but not Qwen3.5-122B-A10B.

Fitting a 27B UD-Q4_K_XL quant (17.9 GB) (huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.6-27B-MTP-GGUF) requires 4.5 times less memory  and nowhere near 128 GB RAM. All you need is 32 GB RAM + 6-8 GB VRAM GPU (basically any gaming PC/laptop).

Funny you say that, because, while AMD has announced FSR 4 support for its Radeon, RDNA 3, desktop GPUs, it hasn't so for its Radeon, RDNA 3.5 APUs, like this very (expensive) Strix Halo Radeon 8060S iGPU/APU XD.

So performance-wise, this could be on par with steam machine, just being smaller (even though probably also lauder and more expensive)...
