The Ryzen AI Max 395 128gb is super cool, but not fast for inference. Order of magnitude slower than dedicated GPU but at half the cost. You can run larger models on it but it's slow. Great for local async work. Not great for daily chat or code agent driver.

The vRAM bandwidth is at least as much a problem as compute on these ones, there is a lot of data to shuffle around
