AMD is reportedly testing out its upcoming Strix Halo APU under a 128GB memory configuration. It's the first time that the chipmaker has tested a consumer-level APU with such a high memory capacity, and one that we're hearing being done outside of Apple's own M Series silicon.
Online postings and shipping manifests indicate that AMD's recent testing point to a new reference platform for Strix Halo. That new platform goes by the code FP11, which is also the socket name. Supposedly, it supports 120W power and the titular 128GB of memory, marking the first time the chipmaker has tested a processor beyond the typical 32GB and 64GB of memory.
Unlike a dedicated GPU that has its own set of components and power measures, an APU depends on the amount of available memory a system has available to drive the framerates. As a general rule of thumb, the higher the memory capacity, the greater the performance output. Having a higher thermal and power limit helps too, which could explain the 120W TDP listed in the shipping manifest.The Strix Halo series is expected to ship out with 16 Zen5 cores and up to 40 RDNA3.5 CUs at its highest tier.
