AMD's Strix Halo SoC: A Handheld Threadripper?

At CES 2025, Mahesh Subramony, AMD Senior Fellow, unveiled the Strix Halo SoC, a groundbreaking integrated processor boasting a Zen 5 CPU and a powerful iGPU. Unlike desktop Zen 5, Strix Halo prioritizes power efficiency with innovative die-to-die interconnect technology, reducing latency and boosting efficiency. A 32MB MALL cache primarily amplifies GPU bandwidth; while inaccessible to the CPU directly, its design allows for future software updates to expand functionality. Intended as a high-performance mobile workstation, Strix Halo features a full 512-bit FPU and impressive multi-threaded performance.
