AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 detailed as a cut-down Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with powerful Radeon 8060S iGPU

Until now, AMD has only offered its impressive Radeon 8060S iGPU with its AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395. A partner has confirmed that a cheaper 12-core option could soon be available though, without compromising on GPU performance like the Ryzen AI Max 390 does.

This processor is very interesting; now we just have to see which laptops it will be in.
Currently, there aren't many laptops with AMD Halo processors; there are:
Asus ROG Flow Z13
HP ZBook Ultra G1a
GPD Win 5 (this is a console)

Many people are waiting until 2026 for many more manufacturers to release AMD Halo models, given its strong performance. AMD Halo has been very well received by designers, architects, animators for video editing, 3D, and artificial intelligence.

AMD should really focus on the Ryzen Max 388 (8 CPU Cores with 8060S IGPU) and limit VRAM to 12 GB, and mass-produce it to lower the production cost. This would be a massive opportunity to dominate the budget gaming segment that is owned by Nvidia's RTX 5050/5060 laptops.

What? No. Limiting VRAM does not make it cheaper. Let people decide if they want more or less RAM.

The real important thing is price. If they can get it down below 1 grand for a minipc and below 1.5 grand for a laptop it would be real nice.

This makes no sense at all. Strix Halo has unified memory which means the gpu and cpu share the same memory. It doesn't need to limit VRAM as VRAM is set dynamically through BIOS through Variable Graphics Memory. Or dynamically allocated via Graphics Translation Table
