Sixunited’s AXN88B Laptop Packs a 16‑Core AMD Gorgon Halo APU and Up to 192 GB of RAM

Sixunited, the Shanghai‑based original design manufacturer, has just rolled out its first laptop that runs on AMD’s brand‑new Gorgon Halo platform. The machine, codenamed AXN88B, isn’t headed straight to consumer shelves – at least not under the Sixunited badge – but it’s a reference chassis that other brands will likely re‑badge and sell.

The heart of the device is the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 APU. It’s a hefty 16‑core, 32‑thread chip built on Zen 5 architecture, and AMD has cranked the boost clocks a bit higher than on the previous Ryzen AI Max+ 395. In practice that means a noticeable lift in both CPU and GPU performance, even if the raw numbers are still under wraps.

One of the most eye‑catching claims is the ability to equip the laptop with up to 192 GB of DDR5‑5600 memory, running at 8533 MT/s. That’s more RAM than most desktop workstations ship with today, and it opens the door for on‑the‑go AI inference, large‑language‑model fine‑tuning, or any memory‑hungry workload you can think of.

On the graphics side, the integrated Radeon 8065S iGPU sits on a 40‑compute‑unit RDNA 3.5 die, nudging the performance of the older Radeon 8060S. Early leaked PassMark scores suggest it’s roughly 5 % faster than the previous Strix Halo part, and the synthetic numbers place it in the same ball‑park as an RTX 4070 Laptop GPU – a surprising achievement for an integrated solution.

Visually, the AXN88B sports a 16‑inch LCD with a 2560 × 1600 resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate and a P3‑wide color gamut. The exact panel model hasn’t been disclosed yet, but the specs hint at a decent balance between crispness and fluidity for both work and play.

Connectivity is generous: two USB 4 Type‑C ports, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type‑A, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type‑A, a UHS‑II SD‑card slot, HDMI 2.1, and a 2.5 Gb Ethernet jack. Audio comes from dual 2 W speakers, and the chassis includes a full‑size keyboard with RGB backlighting, a fingerprint sensor, a 2 MP IR webcam, and an 85 Wh battery that should keep the beast alive for a decent chunk of the day.

Pricing and launch dates remain a mystery. Since Sixunited is an ODM, the final spec sheet could shift once a brand adopts the design. Still, the numbers alone make the AXN88B a compelling glimpse of what AMD‑powered laptops could look like in the near future.
