Phoronix在其21周年之际发布了AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 390(集成Radeon 8050S显卡)的初步Linux基准测试结果。本文重点关注Radeon 8050S在Linux系统中的性能表现,另一篇文章则详细介绍了HP ZBook Ultra G1a中CPU的性能。 Radeon 8050S拥有32个2.8GHz的图形核心,性能低于旗舰级的Radeon 8060S(40个2.9GHz的核心),但比Radeon 890M有了显著提升。它支持高达8K @ 60Hz的显示器、DisplayPort 2.1接口和四个同时显示输出。 Radeon 8050S在Ubuntu 25.04和Fedora 42上运行完美无缺。基准测试将Ryzen AI Max PRO 390与Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395、Ryzen AI 9 HX 370和Core Ultra 7 256V进行了比较。更广泛的比较还包括一系列较旧的笔记本电脑/SoC。测试使用Ubuntu 25.04、Linux 6.14内核和Mesa 25.0进行,Ryzen AI Max PRO 390分别在平衡、低功耗和性能模式下进行了测试。

This Hacker News thread discusses a Phoronix review of the AMD Radeon 8050S "Strix Halo" Linux graphics performance. A key point of discussion is the (unofficial) ROCm support for Strix Halo, with users noting it's functional but can be flaky. Debate exists around AMD's strategy of prioritizing ROCm support for data center GPUs over consumer chips, with some seeing "TheRock" project as a path to broader support and a potential future merging of CDNA and RDNA architectures into a unified UDNA. Users are interested in the chip's potential for LLM applications, especially given its large memory capacity (up to 64GB or 128GB). Some report success using llama.cpp with the Vulkan backend to run models, noting seamless integration with unified memory architecture. Others compare it to dGPUs, citing its power consumption and highlighting the value of its integrated nature. Some are anticipating an updated Steam Deck with similar technology, but believe that a power efficient design is important.

Last month I began the much anticipated AMD Strix Halo Linux benchmarking at Phoronix by testing the top-end Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 that features 16 cores / 32 threads and the very impressive Radeon 8060S integrated graphics. Coming in one step below that flagship Strix Halo SoC is the Ryzen AI Max (PRO) 390 with Radeon 8050S graphics. Coming out today on Phoronix - coincidentally timed for the 21st birthday of Phoronix.com - is the first benchmarks of the Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 along with the Radeon 8050S graphics.

Radeon 8050S graphics

This article is focused on providing an initial look at the Radeon 8050S Strix Halo graphics performance under Linux while a separate article is looking at the Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 CPU performance found within the HP ZBook Ultra G1a, the same laptop series as used for the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 testing the past few weeks.

Radeon 8050S graphics on Linux

The Radeon 8050S Graphics found with the Ryzen AI Max 390 and Ryzen AI Max 385 is slightly cut-down from the flagship 395 tier with the Radeon 8060S. The Radeon 8050S Graphics feature 32 graphics cores and a 2.8GHz frequency while the Radeon 8060S Graphics have 40 graphics cores with a 2.9GHz clock speed. While having a 100MHz lower graphics clock and just 80% the CUs, the Radeon 8050S is still a large step-up from the Radeon 890M graphics found with the Ryzen AI 300 "Strix Point" SoCs that feature just 16 graphics cores. Basically the Radeon 8050S has double the graphics cores as the Radeon 890M.

HP ZBook Ultra G1a with Radeon 8050S graphics

Like the Radeon 8060S, the Radeon 8050S is capable of driving up to 8K @ 60 displays, 4K @ 240Hz, 1080p @ 600Hz, and supports DisplayPort 2.1 and can handle up to four displays simultaneously. Adaptive-Sync and HDR support, of course, remain available too.

So with the Radeon 8050S Graphics on the Ryzen AI Max 385/390 you are a step below the Radeon 8060S but still much more capable than what is found with the likes of the Radeon 880M/890M integrated graphics or from the Intel Xe/Xe2 integrated graphics competition from Intel.

The AMD Radeon 8050S Graphics were working out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 25.04 and Fedora 42 just like with the Radeon 8060S Graphics. Of course, moving to Mesa 25.1 or even Mesa 25.2-devel can yield more performance and especially additional Vulkan features, but Mesa 25.0 is good enough for out-of-the-box on the likes of Ubuntu 25.04. With both the Radeon 8050S and 8060S graphics I haven't encountered any display issues, GPU hangs, anything along those lines. It's rather pleasant how well the open-source AMD graphics experience is now at launch or shortly thereafter.

For this AMD Radeon 8050S Graphics benchmarking article, there are tests of the Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 up against the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 (Radeon 8060S), Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (Radeon 890M), and Core Ultra 7 256V (Lunar Lake Xe2) for the current top-end integrated graphics experiences from both Intel and AMD. Following that is a more diverse set of integrated graphics Linux benchmarks from a broader range of laptops/SoCs for seeing a more comprehensive look at the Radeon 8050S Graphics but due to going to the older/slower hardware that set of tests is more refined and less taxing than the benchmarks looking just at the current-gen top-end offerings.

The complete set of laptops and CPUs/iGPUs tested included:

- Core i7 8550U - Dell XPS 9370
- Core i7 8565U - Dell XPS 9380
- Core i7 1065G7 - Dell XPS 7390
- Core i7 1165G7 - Dell XPS 9310
- Core i7 1185G7 - Dell XPS 9310
- Core i7 1280P - MSI Prestige 14Evo
- Core Ultra 7 155H - Acer Swift Go 14
- Core Ultra 7 256V - ASUS Zenbook S14
- Core Ultra 7 258V - X1 Carbon G13
- Ryzen 7 4700U - Lenovo IdeaPad 5
- Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U - ThinkPad T14s G2a
- Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U - ThinkPad X13 G3
- Ryzen 7 7840U - Framework 13
- Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U - ThinkPad P14s G4
- Ryzen 7 7840U - Acer Swift Edge 16
- Ryzen 7 7840HS - Framework 16
- Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 - ThinkPad T14s G6
- Ryzen AI 9 365 - ASUS Zenbook S16
- Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 - ASUS Zenbook S16
- Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 - Framework 13
- Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 - HP ZBook Ultra G1a
- Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 - HP ZBook Ultra G1a
- Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 - HP ZBook Ultra G1a - low-power
- Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 - HP ZBook Ultra G1a - performance

All of these Linux laptop integrated graphics benchmarks were done out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 25.04 with the Linux 6.14 kernel and Mesa 25.0.

With the Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 / Radeon 8050S Graphics testing today, it was done in the default (balanced) platform profile state as well as the low-power and performance profiles. Thus you can see the Radeon 8050S Graphics out-of-the-box as well as what happens if going for the "performance" platform profile or reverting to the "low-power" platform profile. More details on ACPI Platform Profiles can be found in the prior Maximizing The Performance & Power Efficiency Of AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 With Platform Profiles. The other laptops were in their default/out-of-the-box platform profile state.
