AMD Ryzen AI "Strix Point" Mobile Processors Launching in August

AMD's upcoming Ryzen AI "Strix Point" mobile processor family will see a product launch in August 2024, with availability ramping up by October, a representative of mini PC manufacturer AOOSTAR has revealed. This would mean that at Computex next month, the company will use its Keynote address to unveil the processors, highlight their various new features, particularly the "Zen 5" microarchitecture, and perhaps even talk about performance in broad strokes, but specific processor models will launch in August, along with a few notebook product announcements.

AMD's upcoming Ryzen AI "Strix Point" processor will feature a significantly faster 50 AI TOPS-class NPU to power Microsoft Copilot+ certified devices; increased CPU performance from the new "Zen 5" architecture, and faster graphics from the new RDNA 3+ iGPU, besides support for faster memory speeds, new power management features, and updated platform and display I/O. "Strix Point" is far from being the only mobile processor family from AMD based on "Zen 5," there's also the Ryzen 9000 "Fire Range" family of high core-count mobile processors meant for gaming notebooks; and the "Strix Halo" meant for high-performance ultraportables.

Lol yeah, I guess it's a mobile variant of Granite ridge, but the latter has a better name. At least it's just a code name.

Never understod the Gigabyte Brix brand..

If only it would be possible to have an ultrabook with a powerful APU that can handle games at least 30% better frames than the current versions, but also have at least 30% better battery life for office work, I’d buy one in a heartbeat.

When it comes to branding, you can do much much worse. Just look up some of the DDR5 Geil has available on Aliexpress. Yes, they mean the astrological sign I hope.

I think "Fire Range" is fine. Keeping circa-2009 MSI motherboards away from it helps, but there's also that thing where the name doesn't ever quite fit in with the thing. Like how the big dude is called Tiny.

Lunar Lake's iGPU is based on Battlemage and is said to be 50% faster than Mediocre Lake's iGPU. Now it's only 4P+4E and sits in the U class 15-28W range, but should be pretty good. Some benchmarks show a 17W Lunar Lake apu easily thumping a 15W Meteor lake apu.

Last time I bought something from Intel it was around 22 years ago and I don’t plan on changing that soon. Always hated their business model, so they won’t get any of my money.
