Earlier in the month, AMD introduced multiple Ryzen 200 series CPU models—these mainstream laptop and desktop offerings are based on well established architectures. Team Red is once again treading familiar ground with its selection of "Hawk Point" hardware—featuring "Zen 4" CPU cores, as well as (RDNA 3) Radeon 700M series integrated graphics solutions. AMD's latest mild re-branding of existing designs—notably the Ryzen 8000 mobile APU series—are expected to arrive within the second quarter of 2025. Several of these "new" products will sport NPUs, but marketing/press material is surprisingly free of all things AI-related.
Yesterday, a Lenovo China product manager revealed that the entire Ryzen 200 product stack will adopt the FP8 chip package—formerly exclusive to the region-exclusive Ryzen 7 8745H APU. The Beijing-based company representative disclosed—via a Weibo blog post—that the incoming Ryzen 200 processor series will not use the "FP7 and FP7r2" formats. Additionally, they also introduced a previously unannounced SKU: "the FP8 package version of Ryzen 7 8745H will be launched in 2025 as Ryzen 7 255H." This model is likely another Chinese exclusive—the Weibo comment section provides further evidence of new Lenovo ThinkBook products being based on this Ryzen 7 255H. AMD's official listings have quietly confirmed that their Ryzen 200 series will be FP8-exclusive. Team Green is likely making matters easier for itself, by streamlining its packaging options for this affordable-tier of laptop-oriented chips.
