This video reviews the ASUS Flow Z13 gaming tablet, powered by AMD's Ryzen AI Max Plus 395 chip. The reviewer focuses on the chip's groundbreaking integrated GPU performance and its implications for gaming and AI applications.
Key Takeaways
Exceptional Integrated GPU: The AMD Ryzen AI Max Plus 395 features an integrated GPU with performance comparable to an RTX 460 or 4070, a significant leap for integrated graphics. It enables high frame rates in demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077.
Adjustable VRAM: The chip's shared memory architecture allows users to allocate a specific amount of RAM to the GPU (VRAM), providing benefits for gaming and, especially, AI model applications. This allows for running larger AI models than typically possible on consumer hardware.
Strong CPU Performance: The 16-core CPU in the chip delivers excellent multi-core performance, ranking among the best in the laptop space.
Power Efficiency: The chip exhibits good power efficiency, especially in idle states, a weakness often found in high-performance machines.
High Price Point: The ASUS Flow Z13, starting at $2200, is expensive, potentially limiting its appeal to a niche market despite its impressive capabilities. The higher price is partially attributed to the robust cooling system needed for the chip's power profile.
