AMD Could Prepare Strix Point APUs for Business Use

According to a new leak by Hoang Anh Phu, the upcoming AMD Ryzen 9000 Strix Point desktop series and Ryzen AI 300 for laptops, both dedicated to consumers, will be complemented by the usual commercial and business counterparts: the AMD Ryzen PRO series sporting improved security and manageability features. The first Ryzen PRO model based on Strix Point was spotted in shipping manifests, confirming the series' existence. However, the launch date remains uncertain. Hoang Anh Phu, suggests an October launch for these CPUs.

Hoang's recent accurate leaks include the Radeon PRO W7900 Dual-Slot and Ryzen 8000F series for the DIY market. AMD is expected to introduce the Ryzen AI 300 PRO series six months after the April launch of the Ryzen 8000 PRO, including desktop and mobile variants. The leaker also revealed new PRO variant names: Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 and Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360. While exact specs remain unconfirmed, the first one is rumored to be a 12-core processor. On the other hand, it's more likely that the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 will be a 10-core version.

That's what you get for having a non-AI processor. SMH. When will you people learn?

I like AI as I like my woman: out of the hardware of my computers.

I hope they aren't going to vendor lock them again or at least provide a way to unlock them. I got a 5650g last month but it turns out it was likely vendor locked so now I have to return it.

Most of those are listed as locked. Usually a Lenovo device.
It's not a Software lock either so can't be "unlocked" apparently it blows a "fuse" on the CPU itself to lock it.
Edit, I've got a 5650g in a Lenovo ThinkCentre and another I put in an iTX build, I doubt I could swap them due to one being device locked.

The one I got wasn't listed as locked so a bit of a pain point there. It seems a bit of a gamble if the listing is correct or not on ebay. My two 4750g cpus were just fine so I think I will stick with those for now.
