The benchmark database additionally lists a brand new Strix Halo part, namely the Ryzen AI MAX+ 388 . This chip scored 31,702 points in multi-threaded and 4,145 points in single-threaded benchmarks on PassMark. By the looks of it, this particular chip should sit between the Ryzen AI MAX+ 390 and AI MAX+ 385 and could potentially be a China-exclusive SKU.
Gaming-optimized Ryzen 5 7500X3D spotted at UK retailer, new six-core budget CPU apparently readied for launch
AMD's unreleased Ryzen 5 5500X3D is reportedly 12% faster in multicore performance in Geekbench
AMD's new budget AM4 gaming CPU looks solid in new benchmarks — Zen 3-based Ryzen 5 5500X3D trails Ryzen 5 5600X3D by 6% in PassMark
Additional information from the listing suggests that it features a total of 8 cores and 16 threads, 32 MB of L3 cache, and 8 MB of L2 cache. Interestingly, it also comes with the Radeon 8060S iGPU, featuring 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units, similar to the flagship Ryzen AI MAX+ 395. In case you missed our coverage, the Radeon 8060S is currently the most powerful integrated GPU solution offering performance that is very similar to an RTX 4060.
The introduction of a new X3D chip is definitely exciting, especially since the Ryzen 7 9800X3D currently goes for around $450. A potentially cheaper option would give users more choice when upgrading or building a brand-new gaming rig. Having said that, leaked benchmark results are not proof of existence; however, we expect AMD to make some sort of announcement at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January 2026. Till then, take all of the information above with a pinch of salt.
