Ryzen MAX+495 arrives in laptops, Sixunited AXN88B supports 192GB memory
Sixunited has revealed the AXN88B-160M-YD, a reference laptop design built around AMD's new Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor, codenamed Gorgon Halo. This system marks the first time this high-power mobile CPU is officially paired with up to 192 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory, pushing the unified memory architecture to its absolute limit. While Sixunited operates primarily as an ODM, this reference design signals a clear direction for upcoming laptops from major brands that will adopt this configuration.
The Gorgon Halo Processor in Mobile Form
At the heart of the AXN88B lies the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495. AMD lists this chip with a robust architecture featuring 16 Zen 5 cores and 32 threads, capable of boosting up to 5.2 GHz. The integrated graphics are equally impressive, utilizing Radeon 8065S with 40 RDNA 3.5 Compute Units that can reach clock speeds of 3.0 GHz. Crucially, AMD officially supports a configurable TDP ranging from 45W to 120W, allowing the system to sustain high performance for demanding workloads.
Memory and Storage Configuration
The standout feature of this design is its memory capacity. The AXN88B supports up to 192 GB of LPDDR5X-8533, which represents the maximum officially supported amount for the Gorgon Halo processor. This follows AMD's confirmation that Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 systems can allocate up to 160 GB of this unified memory specifically to graphics, making the platform highly suitable for large-scale local AI workloads and heavy content creation tasks.
Display and Connectivity
The chassis houses a 16-inch display with a resolution of 2560×1600 pixels, running at a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate. The metal body is relatively thin at 18.35 mm and weighs approximately 2.1 kg. Power options include an 85 Wh or a larger 99.9 Wh battery, depending on the specific configuration chosen.
Ports and Expansion
Connectivity is modernized with two 40 Gbps USB-C ports, alongside USB-A ports supporting both 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps speeds. The system also includes an HDMI 2.1 output, a "2.5GbE" Ethernet port, and a UHS-II SD card reader. Wireless capabilities are provided by Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.
Market Availability
It is important to note that Sixunited primarily functions as an ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) rather than a consumer-facing laptop brand. Consequently, you will not find this specific model for sale under the SIXUNITED name. Instead, this reference design serves as a blueprint for popular laptop and Mini-PC brands that will likely adopt Sixunited's engineering to launch their own versions of this high-memory, high-power system.
