AMD Ryzen AI MAX 300 “Strix Halo” reviews are here, dawn of mid-range discrete GPUs

They must mean discrete "iGPUs" in the title and not just gpus. From what I have seen in notebookcheck and dave2d, it performs similarly to a power limited 4060/4070 around 65-75 TDP. If you increase the TDP of a 4060 laptop to say 110 watts, the 4060 laptop will beat the Strix Halo by 7% in gaming workloads at 1080p. Strix Halo doesn't do very well at 1440p gaming but neither does 4060 laptop so that doesn't matter much either way. Really the strength of Strix Halo is the vram so if you need a ton of vram for Ai stuff or video editing, it's really good.

The biggest drawback is certainly going to be the price. Hopefully cheaper configurations will be coming out as the laptop costs around $2000 while 5070 Ti gaming laptop from Asus will start around $1899.
