AMD "Ryzen AI 9 HX170" Surfaces, Suggests New Naming Scheme for Ultraportable Processors

AMD is preparing a new processor naming scheme for its next-generation processors, targeting the ultraportable segment, according to a report by Chinese tech publication ITHome, citing sources in ASUS. The new naming scheme purports to make it easier for customers to identify processors with AI capabilities (integrated NPU), processor class (whether it's U, H, or HX), followed by a numerical component that lets customer know product grade. This runs contrary to yesterday's report that cited a Lenovo product flyer referencing a "Ryzen 8050 series." It remains to be seen if the 8050 series are a class of mainstream processors without AI capabilities, which is unlikely, given that Lenovo is using them with its premium ThinkPad T-series.

Aggressive AI-centric branding is, in my eyes, an open admission of "our product is lame and doesn't have nearly enough new features to compel customers to upgrade".

Whoa there, you just described any modern marketing department coming from 1998.

What a leak...say all new ZEN 5 APU for this year include Strix Halo... with PCIe 4.0? Halo, or not halo?
