Just recently, we covered a juicy new leak regarding the Geekbench performance of the upcoming Ryzen AI Max+ 395 "Strix Halo" APU. It is no secret that AMD plans on launching the Strix Halo lineup at CES 2025, which happens to be less than a month away. Unsurprisingly, leaked listings of upcoming laptops and other products have been steadily popping up on the internet, with the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 being the rumor mill's latest victim.
As revealed by the product listings by retailers, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 will indeed pack some truly impressive specifications. Needless to say, the product will feature a variant with the highest-end Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU with 16 cores and 32 threads, along with an RDNA 3.5-based iGPU with 40 CUs, likely named the Radeon 8060S, which is expected to match mid-range discrete graphics in performance. A slightly lower-tier variant is also listed, with a 12-core Ryzen AI Max 390 APU.
The system will also boast 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory, along with 1 TB of solid-state storage. There is no doubt that more variants with different memory and storage configurations will be available, but those have seemingly not been listed yet. Interestingly, the Flow Z13 will come with a 13.4-inch 180 Hz display with 2.5 K resolution, which is a modest step-up from its predecessor. However, it will be an IPS panel, which might be massively disappointing for OLED enthusiasts. There is no word on pricing, but with CES 2025 less than a month away, we won't have to wait too long to find out. That said, it is safe to assume that a price hike is likely, if the recent "Strix Point" launch is anything to go by.
