Yes, but not a m2 pro, m2 max, or m2 ultra. Or a M3 pro or M3 max.

Sometime in early 2024 AMD is supposed to release a new APU (CPU+iGPU) called strix. Doesn't seem particularly noteworthy, but mid to late 2024 AMD is going to bring out a chip called strix halo that FINALLY brings more than 128 bit memory system to a APU.

It baffles me that despite a huge GPU shortage that lasted years and shipping a huge number of XboxX and PS5 with nice memory systems that they didn't bother to ship a decent APU and a decent memory system for the desktop.

At least the halo strix should give the M3 pro a run for it's money, still half the M3 max and 1/4th of the M2 ultra.



My guess is that the market wasn't ready at the time, now high consumer demand for handheld PCs.
