uno de Chips Strix Halo provenientes de AMD Visto en un punto de referencia por primera vez, esta es, de hecho, la APU insignia, lo que sugiere que, como sugieren los rumores, estos procesadores móviles Ryzen están a punto de lanzarse.
VideoCardz Noté la puntuación de Geekbench para el chip Strix Halo de 16 núcleos (Zen 5) con gráficos Radeon 8060S integrados.
La Unión Parlamentaria Árabe -que es AMDEl nombre elegante para un procesador todo en uno con GPU y NPU integradas: se llama AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395 y se muestra con una potencia de hasta 5,1 GHz.
En cuanto al puntaje de referencia real, la prueba es el rendimiento de Vulkan, que curiosamente es un punto de referencia de gráficos. Sin embargo, el resultado de 67.004 es más lento de lo esperado, pero hay una razón para ello, que analizaré a continuación.

Análisis: solo preocupa el rendimiento de la GPU y la estación de trabajo
Este es un resultado relativamente decepcionante porque, como señala VideoCardz, Tarjeta gráfica de escritorio RX 7600 En esta prueba, el resultado es alrededor de 90.000. La esperanza es que la GPU Radeon 8060S integrada en el buque insignia Strix Halo pueda acercarse mucho más a la RX 7600 que esto, según las exageraciones previas al lanzamiento, con las que comparó GPU móvil discreta Nvidia RTX 4070 En el pasado, y tal vez esto suceda con el tiempo.
Recuerde, este es todavía un chip de muestra inicial, por lo que el Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395 final sin duda funcionará más rápido. Es demasiado pronto para hacer juicios, especialmente basándose en una sola filtración (de Geekbench, por supuesto, no es la mejor opción para las pruebas gráficas).
Esta filtración se relaciona con el hecho de que se está probando el procesador insignia Strix Halo, no con el resultado real en sí. Es otra gran señal de que los rumores AMD lanza una nueva gama de APU en CES 2025 Correcto.

Sin embargo, probablemente todos deberían moderar un poco sus expectativas de alguna manera. Sí, la GPU Radeon del buque insignia Strix Halo tiene 40 CU y se basa en una versión actualizada de RDNA 3 (denominada RDNA 3.5), en comparación con las 32 CU y el RDNA 3 básico en el RX 7600, pero este último sigue siendo un problema. GPU de escritorio discretaEvidentemente, las soluciones integradas son más limitadas en cuanto a diseño y temperatura.
Tendremos que ver cómo cambia el rendimiento en lo que respecta a las revisiones, por supuesto, o incluso a nuevas filtraciones. Apuesto a que todos estamos de acuerdo probablemente en este nombre, que suena muy antiguo, pero que también conlleva otra connotación preocupante.
El “Pro” en el nombre (Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395) indica que es parte de una estación de trabajo. Ahora, podría haber una contraparte Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (no Pro) para computadoras portátiles para juegos delgadas y livianas que venga con la misma configuración de CPU y GPU, o como lo sugirieron rumores anteriores, AMD podría reservar esta APU insignia solo para estaciones de trabajo. .
Las computadoras portátiles solo para juegos pueden tener un chip Ryzen AI Max+ más bajo, y esto es una indicación de que este es el caso, a pesar de que es un chip muy delgado. Nuevamente, todo lo que podemos hacer es seguir observando las filtraciones, pero probablemente lo descubriremos en CES 2025 con la gran revelación del Strix Halo: ¿será solo una estación de trabajo o no para el buque insignia?

Once dubbed the ‘Tesla of hair dryers’, the Zuvi Halo has gained a cult following across social media, as well as winning multiple accolades from industry experts – including being named one of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions.
Instead of relying on hot air to dry hair, the Zuvi Halo uses a combination of targeted air flow with ‘safe infrared light energy’ to dry the water on the hair’s surface. Said to have been inspired by the way the sun evaporates rainwater, it promises to boost hair hydration by 109%, shine by more than a third, and hair strength by 9%.
The Halo offers five drying modes – Care, Fast, Soft, Style and Cool – and, depending on the mode you select, each adjusts the air speed and the intensity of the infrared light to suit different needs. For example, Fast prioritizes speed, while Care prioritizes hair health. Soft is best for people with sensitive scalps; the Style mode is designed to be used with Halo attachments, and Cool helps to set your style.

You can’t manually adjust the heat or speed settings to suit your specific hair, and this limits the level of control you have. However, there are three attachments available for the Halo: a Styling Concentrator, a Diffuser and a Gentle Air attachment, which add a degree of control and versatility.
Making a decision over which mode to choose can be confusing; the Halo isn’t as intuitive or easy to use as the majority of hair dryers. I always opted for the Fast mode because, for me, saving time is a priority. I found that my hair was frizzier and more unwieldy having used the Soft mode, and Care mode didn’t dry as quickly as I’d like. Yet all of the modes were noticeably faster at drying my hair than with my regular Revlon One Plus, and my GHD Helios.
The plus side is that this cuts down on styling time, especially in the morning. The down side is that I seemingly had to sacrifice shine in order to benefit from the speed. I often had to resort to using straighteners to calm the frizz and flyaways. Aside from adding time to my routine, this counteracted the stated hair health benefits of using the Halo. The finish was also in stark contrast to the brand’s claims.

That’s not to say I wouldn’t recommend the Zuvi Halo hair dryer. After three weeks of use, my hair health was noticeably improved. Once I’d become more familiar with the outcomes of the various modes, I valued the fact that I didn’t have to mess around with different heat and speed settings. Plus, there’s something novel and futuristic about the Halo dryer that sets it apart from the crowd, in a good way. In the many years I’ve been testing the best hair dryers, it’s rare for a product to surprise me in the way the Halo did.
It’s just a shame that all of this next-level technology pushes the price of the Halo beyond the reach of so many, in addition to the fact that, for the price, the Halo isn’t perfect.
Zuvi Halo hair dryer review: price & availability
$349 / £329 for Halo + 3 attachments
$329 / £309 for Halo + 2 attachments
The Zuvi Halo is available in two bundles. You can buy the Zuvi Halo hair dryer plus all three attachments – the Diffuser, Styling Concentrator and the Gentle Air attachment – for $349 / £329. Alternatively, if you don’t need the Diffuser, you can buy a smaller, two-nozzle bundle for $329 / £309. It’s not possible to buy the hair dryer on its own.
Price-wise, the top-end Zuvi Halo bundle puts it on a par with the Dyson Supersonic. However, the Dyson ends up being better value for money because it ships with five attachments by default. This includes versions of the three attachments sold with the Zuvi Halo – Diffuser, Styling Concentrator, and Gentle Air attachment – plus a Wide-tooth Comb and Flyaway attachment.
The Halo is available in the UK, US, Canada and across Europe, and is sold directly from the Zuvi Life website. You can also buy it from Target in the US, and QVC in the UK.
Zuvi Halo hair dryer review: design
Four preset modes + Cool shot
Faux leather handle feels premium
Bulky attachments
If the price doesn’t draw comparisons with the Dyson Supersonic, then design of the Zuvi Halo will – certainly at first glance. The Halo has a short, circular barrel and long handle. It measures 9.9 x 3.3 x 3.8 inches (254 x 84 x 98mm) and weighs 1.2lbs / 546g without any nozzles attached.

At the front of the barrel is an air outlet surrounded by a circular pane of glass, behind which sit the infrared LEDs. At the rear of the barrel is the filter inlet, which is positioned above the four main mode icons. These modes are:
Care: Balances speed with optimizing your hair health
Fast: Prioritizes speed
Soft: Reduces airflow and uses less light, for people with sensitive scalps
Style: For use only with the attachments – airflow plus direction and intensity of light adjusts according to the nozzle attached
Cool: Sets the style and adds shine
The Mode selection button and the Power switch sit further down the handle. Select a mode, and you’ll see a small white LED light up below the corresponding button to show you it’s currently selected.
As well as enabling you to toggle through the main modes, the Mode selection button also doubles up as Cool shot button on pressing and holding it. At the end of the handle is a 2.7m cord.

Unlike the majority of plastic dryers and stylers, the Halo is made largely from metal, with faux leather on the handle. This gives the hair dryer an extremely premium feel while also making it easy to grip. The white colorway and iridescent nature of the infrared lights also make the Zuvi Halo one of the most stylish hair dryers I’ve used.
Zuvi Halo hair dryer review: performance
Fast drying times
Difficult to determine the best mode
Mixed styling results
To test the Zuvi Halo, I trialled each mode in turn repeatedly for a month, taking note of the time it took the hair dryer to dry hair, the resulting smoothness and shine, and how hair felt overall after use.
Not surprisingly, the quickest mode was Fast mode – although it wasn’t as speedy as I’d hoped. On this mode it took the hair dryer 5 minutes 50 seconds to take my long, thin, naturally wavy from wet to dry. And while my hair felt more voluminous than normal when drying with a hair dryer (as opposed to a hot brush), it felt rough and looked frizzy. In fact, my hair looks less frizzy when I let it dry naturally. A quick look at some online reviews has found that I’m in the minority in this regard; but since it was a common occurrence throughout my review period, rather than a one off, it could just be that this particular hair dryer just doesn’t suit my hair.

Next up was Care mode. This produced a much better finish than Fast mode; my hair was smoother without losing volume, but it took almost 45 seconds longer to get my hair from wet to dry.
Soft mode lived up to its name, leaving my hair feeling soft and healthy; but again, frizz and flyaways were an issue, not to mention it took around 8 minutes to complete styling.
(Image credit: Future)
The Zuvi Halo’s best results were in Style mode with the Styling Concentrator attached. It took slightly longer than Fast mode to style my hair – 6 minutes, on average – but the extra time paid off because my hair was left feeling both softer and smoother. The Diffuser worked well at setting my curls without leaving them looking frizzy. I didn’t quite see the need for the Gentle Air attachment, though, considering the Soft mode adequately reduces both speed and temperature; it worked well, but seems unnecessary.

Although the Zuvi Halo hair dryer looks bulky, especially with the nozzles attached, it’s surprisingly lightweight. In addition, the shorter barrel makes it easy to move around the head; even taking account of the longer drying times across the board, my arms never ached in use.
In terms of noise, the Zuvi Halo is one of the quietest hair dryers I’ve tried, even on Fast mode. The highest decibels it recorded throughout my review period was 78 decibels on Fast mode. I could easily hear my music, and have a conversation with my son while drying my hair, which is rare.
