AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 vs. Ryzen 9 9950X vs. Ryzen 9 9950X3D Linux Performance

I'm personally pretty excited for a new round of Mobile on Desktop. Usually a pretty good % of desktop speed, but tuned for much lower power, and the price is usually a little better. I have the Minisforum 795s7 with the 7945hx, which is a delightful zen4 that's very affordable. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-unleashe...
Indeed yes it seems like the dual channel 6000MHz wasn't the limiting factor. But also the lower power 395 has a couple massive wins, and I suspect it was almost entirely the memory bandwidth. For example the LLM test on page 2: it was that memory bandwidth making that colossal difference.
In a lot of tests, it seems like the extra 100w the 9950's were getting probably helped a lot!
If you compare the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 against the other AMD mobile parts in their current lineup, it's pretty clear where it ranks. And for however long they're using a new and different naming scheme for their mobile parts while still using the old naming scheme for their desktop parts, there's the distinct and rare advantage that the model numbers are not misleading about how a high-end mobile part ranks against desktop parts.
