Alleged AMD Strix Halo APU Appears in Benchmark (videocardz.com)

HP is apparently testing these upcoming APUs in a single, 8-core configuration.

The Geekbench 5 ST score is around 2100, which is crazy... but not what I really care about. Strix Halo will have a 256 -bit memory bus and 40 CUs, which will make it a monster for local LLM inference.

I am praying AMD sells these things in embedded motherboards with a 128GB+ memory config. Especially in an 8-core config, as I'd rather not burn money and TDP on a 16 core version.

4070 class GPU & total 120w tdp would be the desktop endgame setup for me.

And a basically infinite vram pool, if they set it up right.

Thing is, on desktop, strictly for gaming, its probably gonna cost more than an equivalent dGPU + like a 7800 X3D. You coulld even get a 7800 XT and underclock it massively, and end up at a fairly low TDP.
