๐ Local Inferencing Upgrade: AMDโs next high-end APU is in development
Codenamed Medusa Halo (expected as Ryzen AI Max 500 series):
โข Zen 6 CPU cores
โข RDNA 5 graphics
โข LPDDR6 memory support
Leaks suggest it could deliver ~80% higher memory bandwidth than the current Strix Halo (Ryzen AI MAX+ 395), thanks to faster LPDDR6.
This should bring meaningful improvements in:
๐ฎ Gaming performance
๐ค Local AI inference
๐ผ๏ธ Integrated graphics
A smaller refresh (Gorgon Halo) is expected in late 2026, with full Medusa Halo likely arriving in 2027.
