While the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 and Ryzen AI Max+ 395 are very similar processors just as the Ryzen PRO processors are to other non-PRO parts, one of the differences with the AMD PRO Technologies come down to AMD Memory Guard providing full system memory encryption. From the HP BIOS with the ZBook Ultra G1a there is a convenient toggle for this full memory encryption support and thus I decided to carry out some benchmarks to measure the performance cost to this memory encryption feature on this AMD Strix Halo SoC.

Here are those numbers...

Volumio (formerly RaspyFi) is a Debian-based distribution originally made for the Raspberry Pi single-board computer, but later expanded to other embedded devices, including CuBox, BeagleBone Black and UDOO. It aims to fully integrate Music Player Daemon, an open-source music player server, into the current Debian releases and to optimise it for Audiophile-quality music playback. Volumio also makes it simple to play music library directly from a USB storage device or from any network-attached storage and it also enables users to listen to web-based radio stations from Spotify, Last.fm and SoundCloud. Starting in October 2014 the project no longer provided a complete Linux distribution; instead it develops Volumio as a music player application only which it makes available for various platforms. The Volumio distribution resumed development in 2016 and is available for x86 computers as well as several ARM devices.

deepin (formerly, Deepin, Linux Deepin, Hiweed GNU/Linux) is a Debian-based distribution (it was Ubuntu-based until version 15 released in late 2015) that aims to provide an elegant, user-friendly and reliable operating system. It does not only include the best the open source world has to offer, but it has also created its own desktop environment called DDE or Deepin Desktop Environment which is based on the Qt 5 toolkit. Deepin focuses much of its attention on intuitive design. Its home-grown applications, like Deepin Software Centre, DMusic and DPlayer are tailored to the average user. Being easy to install and use, deepin can be a good Windows alternative for office and home use.

Over the past month I have been testing out the HP ZBook Ultra G1a powered by AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO Strix Halo. Simply put: WOW! I don't remember the last time I have been so fascinated by a laptop SoC from its incredible performance generationally and even compared to existing AMD SoCs within the Ryzen AI 300 series and outright dominating against the Intel Lunar Lake for its Xe2 integrated graphics. The HP ZBook Ultra G1a thanks to AMD Strix Halo offers an incredibly potent integrated GPU and allowing up to 16 cores / 32 threads offers immense CPU performance too. HP packages Strix Halo up into a very well built, mobile workstation oriented laptop design to create an amazing laptop. It's a reliable laptop with captivating performance but does carry a high price tag but with good Linux support too except for one caveat.

Apple is having a busy WWDC, but beyond the gossip over its new glassy OS UI came a new tool which anyone using a Mac to work with Linux containers will be interested in hearing about. This week Apple released an initial build of its new open-source container tool for creating and running Linux containers on Mac. The CLI tool, named container, is written in Swift, Apple’s go-to programming language, and optimised for Apple silicon and its next major OS update, macOS 26 Tahoe. Apple’s technical documentation explains: “[This…] consumes and produces OCI-compliant container images, so you can pull and […]

With the HP ZBook Ultra G1a Strix Halo laptop sporting the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 with Radeon 8060S Graphics it offers incredible performance potential as shown in my many benchmarks over the past month on Ubuntu Linux. But if wanting to push the Ryzen AI Max even further, with performance-optimized Linux distributions like CachyOS and Intel's Clear Linux it's possible to tap some additional performance out of this 16-core Zen 5 laptop.
