The A8 Max, enclosed in a 1-liter class chassis, operates on an AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS or Ryzen 9 8940HS "Hawk Point" processor. These processors have 8 cores and 16 threads and are based on the "Zen 4" architecture. The A8 Max is equipped with a Radeon 780M iGPU, comprising 12 compute units or 768 stream processors. Its notable feature is the upgraded Ryzen AI NPU, offering an AI inference performance of 39 TOPS, which is higher than the 34 TOPS by Intel's "Meteor Lake" processors.
Lastly, the APro8 Max, with a larger chassis resembling a gaming console, largely shares its hardware specifications with the A8 Max but includes an additional Radeon RX 7600M XT discrete GPU. This enhancement enables the APro8 Max to deliver high-quality gaming performance at 1080p resolution and effectively handle 4K UHD productivity tasks. Further details about these models are anticipated to be revealed at the upcoming CES event in Las Vegas.
