AMD Strix Point APUs may launch under ‘Ryzen AI’ branding

Following the old AMD naming logic, the upcoming AMD Strix Point APUs were thought to be launching as the ‘Ryzen 8000' series. However, new reports claim that these upcoming chips will actually launch under AMD's new ‘Ryzen AI' branding instead. 

Contrary to what we thought up to now, it seems the next generation of Ryzen laptop APUs will be named Ryzen AI 300. This information is sourced from Golden Pig Upgrade and a Lenovo product manager, posting on the Chinese sites, Weibo and Bilibili. (via VideoCardz). The nomenclature change is apparently a move by AMD to have a “higher-numbered” series than Intel's, which will soon launch the Core Ultra 200 series. 

This mobile architecture has Zen 5 cores and an improved RDNA 3.5 graphics architecture. One of the Ryzen Strix Point APUs listed by Asus was the 12-core Ryzen AI 9 HX 170, which has since apparently been renamed Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. As far as we know, this is the highest-end APU of the series. Rumours say that there will also be a Ryzen AI 9 365 SKU with ten cores.

With Computex right around the corner, we expect to learn more about AMD's plans for new hardware quite soon.
