AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme benchmarks revealed — here's how the MSI Claw A8 and ROG Xbox Ally X may perform
Gaming handhelds are about to see a major boost in gaming performance thanks to AMD's new flagship chip, the Ryzen Z2 Extreme, and we now have a taste of what to expect thanks to new benchmarks. The first AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme benchmarks are in on Geekbench, as spotted by X user Olrak29_, showcasing the performance we can expect in the upcoming MSI Claw A8 — both in CPU and GPU performance. In the Geekbench 6 CPU results, the Ryzen Z2 Extreme-equipped MSI Claw A8 delivered a 2,748 single-core score, along with a 12,182 multi-core score. This is a strong improvement over its predecessor, the Ryzen Z1 Extreme, with around a 27% boost overall compared to other Geekbench benchmarks (via Wccftech). We expected a major boost in performance, with AMD's Ryzen Z2 Extreme coming with 8 cores and 16 threads based on Zen 5 architecture for faster multitasking, 15W to 35W power output and 16 GPU cores from its Radeon 890M iGPU with AMD's RDNA 3.5 to deliver FSR and frame-gen tech to boost frame rates. Speaking of graphics, the GPU performance is also shown on Geekbench, with a Vulkan score of 45,064 and an OpenCL score of 37,970. As per the Geekbench results, this pushes past the AMD Ryzen 9 HX 370 (44,399/37,297) and crushes the Z1 Extreme (34,715/29,632). According to the results shown on Geekbench, here's how it measures up against the previous Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU in the Asus ROG Ally X, along with the laptop equivalent AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 in the Asus TUF Gaming A14 in our testing. Devices Geekbench 6 Single core Geekbench 6 multi-core MSI Claw A8 (AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme) 2748 12182 Asus ROG Ally X (AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme) 2565 11085 Asus TUF Gaming A14 (AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370) 2863 12729 As you can see, this shows a smaller boost in CPU performance (a 6-9% boost), but given the Z2 Extreme APU is made for handheld gaming, this is still a solid uplift, and the GPU power it appears to offer will make this chip a beast for gaming on the move. Plus, it isn't certain if this ran on 15W or 30W power, and the MSI Claw A8 tested appears to use 16GB of DDR5 RAM as opposed to the 24GB it can go up to. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Regardless, the improvements are clear, and this also gives us a look at what the ROG Xbox Ally X will deliver, seeing as Microsoft's upcoming handheld comes with the same Ryzen Z2 Extreme APU. Rumor has it that the ROG Xbox Ally X may be priced around $799 to $899, and recent reports indicate the MSI Claw A8 will be around $860. While the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme looks to offer significant boosts in gaming performance, it's set to come at a premium cost. Many of the best gaming handhelds don't come cheap, but considering consoles like the recently launched $599 Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS and $449 Nintendo Switch 2 are far less, it will be interesting to see how the latest handhelds with Z2 Extreme performance take off. For a better look at how well MSI's upcoming handheld performs, check out our hands-on with the MSI Claw A8.

I can't believe how cheap the M4 Pro MacBook Pro just got — $250 off in early Prime Day deal
Prime Day isn't set to start until July 8, but clearly Apple didn't get the memo, as this is a deal worthy of even Black Friday, let alone Amazon's big event! Even better? It's one of the best laptops you can buy, and my personal favorite. Right now, the M4 Pro MacBook Pro is $250 off at Amazon. That drops it to the lowest ever price of just $1,749, which is insane value for money! Let me tell you why. This is the lowest price on one of the best pro laptops you can buy right now — packing a seriously performant M4 Pro chip for any heavy workload, 24GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, a gorgeous 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display and an alluring Space Black to that utilitarian shell. Oh, and don't forget the mindblowing battery life, too! Normally, in this situation, I'd go ahead and point most of you towards the M4 MacBook Pro — that standard chipset is more than enough for most of you reading this. But with this massive discount on M4 Pro, it would actually be better to upgrade. Why? Well, if you read our M4 Pro MacBook Pro review, you'll see the answer comes down to three key things: performance, battery life and display. Because sure, the more things change, the more they stay the same with Apple. You're getting that same uber-premium aluminum unibody shell that is styled into a flatter utilitarian form, along with the same port configuration — though the Thunderbolts are now 5th generation for immensely faster data transfer speeds. But that 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR display is now brighter and packs a whole lot more color reproduction for better accuracy in your creative workload. MacBook Pro 16-inch M4 Pro Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Ultra Nits (brightness) 584 (SDR) | 1,116 (HDR) 384 (SDR) | 523 (HDR) sRGB 115% 115.4% DCI-P3 81.4% 81.1% Delta-E 0.27 0.19 And for those workloads, you need an equally crazy-fast chip to match, which is where that screamer of an M4 Pro comes in — delivering insane speeds on Final Cut Pro exports and even some great AAA gaming performance with ray tracing thrown in, too. Plus, with that advanced Neural Engine, on-board AI tasks get a speed boost, like neural filters on Photoshop are almost as fast on here as they are on my RTX 5070 Ti gaming PC! MacBook Pro 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro 14-inch M4 Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge Geekbench 6 (single-core) 3,910 3,807 2,935 Geekbench 6 (multi-core) 22,822 15,114 15,818 Handbrake 2:38 (mins:secs) 4:27 4:52 PugetBench (PhotoShop) 12,292 (score) | 10.94 secs (time) 10,542 | 11.74 5,830 | 20.67 Then we come to the battery life. And if the 20 hours and 46 minutes the 16-inch model got in our review is anything to go by, you're in for a treat! More realistically, you're getting closer to the standard 14-inch, which got just over 18.5 hours on one charge in our lab testing. That is still crazy good! So what are you waiting for? Snap this up now before it's gone!

Mobiles with Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 could easily beat the performance of the upcoming iPhone 17
Snapdragon 8 Elite has proven to be a hit for Qualcomm, powering many of the latest flagships, including the Samsung Galaxy S25 series and the OnePlus 13 series. In fact, synthetic benchmarks suggest that it even outperforms the likes of the 3nm Apple A18 Pro, which powers the iPhone 16 Pro, Apple's current flagship. Now, with that in mind, rumours about Qualcomm's next major release, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, are beginning to stir. In the latest update, tipster Digital Chat Station has posted on Weibo what appears to be the Geekbench 6 scores for the new chip. From the looks of it, Snapdragon 8 Elite 2-powered phones could maintain a healthy performance lead over rivals, including the iPhone 17 series. Here are the details. Digital Chat Station has suggested on Weibo that the successor to the chip, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, will achieve a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 11,000 and a single-core score of over 4,000. For comparison, a phone like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, typically scores anywhere between 9,500 and 10,000 points in the multi-core score and around 3,000 points in the single-core score. Therefore, if the Snapdragon 882 scores around 11,000 in multi-core and 4,000 in single-core, it would make for a decent performance jump. However, it remains to be seen how the chipset performs in real-world life, how its thermals are, and how it performs across various price points. Recently, multiple reports have surfaced citing what could be the Geekbench 6 benchmarks for the Apple 19 Pro. Reportedly, it may score around 4,000+ in single-core and 10,000+ in multi-core performance. If true, this would suggest that Apple's chip might not outperform the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, especially in multi-core scores. However, this has not been confirmed yet and is based on tips, so should be taken with a grain of salt.

AMD Ryzen AI Max Geekbench scores reveal a power drop in 300-series APUs
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Not all laptop chips are created equal, and that's as true of AMD's innovative Ryzen AI Max "Strix Halo" APU as any. AMD unveiled the Strix Halo APU in January as the Ryzen AI Max 300 series, debuting three consumer chipset variants and four variants made for workstation-class machines. While we normally expect a large performance gap in between, say, a Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 9. But, with a name like Ryzen AI Max, you may not be expecting such a performance gap between the three APUs in the AI Max series. An APU, or accelerated processing unit, is a chipset that combines the CPU and an integrated graphics tile. AMD coined the term back in 2011. AMD uses APU for all of its mobile chipsets, from the Ryzen AI Max to the Ryzen AI 300 series. So far, we've seen only systems powered by the 16-core Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip, including the Asus ROG Flow Z 13 gaming laptop. However, the Ryzen AI Max family offers more budget-friendly options, too, from the 12-core Ryzen AI Max 390 down to the 8-core Ryzen AI Max 385. Last week, we finally saw the 8-core Strix Halo chipset's performance. An HP ZBook Ultra 14 G1a featuring this budget-friendly APU has been benchmarked on Geekbench 6, and the results were uploaded to the Geekbench archives. So, how does the 8-core Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 stack up against the 16-core 395? Let's take a look. According to results uploaded to Geekbench on May 27, the HP ZBook Ultra 14 G1a with an AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 APU scored a Geekbench single-core score of 2,489 and a multicore score of 14,136. We expected these scores to be higher. However, a few factors may explain the larger-than-expected performance gap. First, there's the hardware matchup (8 cores vs. 16). The Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 also has a lower max frequency than the flagship, which could explain the dip in single-core performance. The difference in RAM between the HP ZBook Ultra configuration Laptop reviewed and the ZBook scores uploaded to Geekbench could also be behind the score differences, as RAM affects how Geekbench scores are calculated. Our take: It has long battery life, a sharp, bright display, solid speakers, and incredible performance and graphics. Specs: Windows 11 Pro, AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ PRO 395 (up to 5.1 GHz max boost clock, 64 MB L3 cache, 16 cores, 32 threads), 64 GB memory; 2 TB SSD storage, 14" diagonal 2.8K touch display, AMD Radeon™ 8060S Deal Geekbench's HP ZBook Ultra 14 G1a (Ryzen AI Max PRO 385) Laptop Mag's HP ZBook Ultra 14 G1a (Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395) Laptop Mag's Asus ROG Flow Z13 (Ryzen AI Max+ 395) Geekbench 6 Single-core (Higher is better) 2,489 2,837 2,995 Geekbench 6 Multicore (Higher is better) 14,136 17,721 19,457 Chipset CPU cores CPU threads GPU cores Max GHz Cache NPU cTDP Ryzen AI Max+ 395 16 cores 32 threads 40 cores 5.1GHz 80MB 50 TOPS 45-120W Ryzen AI Max 390 12 cores 24 threads 32 cores 5.0GHz 76MB 50 TOPS 45-120W Ryzen AI Max 385 8 cores 16 threads 32 cores 5.0GHz 40MB 50 TOPS 45-120W Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 16 cores 32 threads 40 cores 5.1GHz 80 MB 50 TOPS 45-120W Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 12 cores 24 threads 32 cores 5.0GHz 76MB 50 TOPS 45-120W Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 8 cores 16 threads 32 cores 5.0GHz 40MB 50 TOPS 45-120W Ryzen AI Max PRO 380 6 cores 12 threads 16 cores 4.9GHz 22MB 50 TOPS 45-120W While the Ryzen AI Max 385 and its professional variant will still be interesting chipsets — as both still feature the larger Radeon 8060S integrated graphics tile — these early benchmarks clarify a few things. The Ryzen AI Max 300 series starts at 385 and tops out at 395. The Ryzen AI 300 Strix Point series starts with the Ryzen AI 9 365 and tops out with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375. The Ryzen AI 7 350 and Ryzen AI 5 340 are both technically on AMD's Krackan Point architecture. Based on AMD's naming convention, the Ryzen AI Max 300 is designed to sit directly atop the Ryzen AI 300 series. So, as the entry-level Ryzen AI Max chip, the 385's Geekbench scores are just above what we've seen from the top end of the Ryzen AI 300 series. We're not certain yet how expensive the Ryzen AI Max 385 will be compared to its slightly less powerful Ryzen AI 300 series counterparts, as only two Ryzen AI Max systems are on the market so far. The HP ZBook Ultra with the Ryzen AI Max 385 starts at $2,599. Meanwhile, the Asus ROG Flow Z13 doesn't have a Ryzen AI Max 385 variant but costs $2,099 for the slightly more powerful Ryzen AI Max 390 chipset. But based on those prices, you are paying quite a bit more for the Ryzen AI Max chipset and its more powerful Radeon 8060S iGPU. The real question is, is the Ryzen AI Max worth its high price tag? Right now, that's still up for debate. Why Apple's next macOS might signal a shift. Here's why A 1mm fan inside your laptop's hard drive?
