AMD's laptop CPU naming scheme, you can say with confidence, is hard to parse, even for those of us whose life mission is to track them down. In fact, the company had previously resorted to distributing decoder wheels so that poor hardware writers like me could understand various model number changes and code name variations.

Now, the product comparison page for Asus laptops may have easily revealed the naming scheme of the upcoming Strix Point mobile processor, it is doozy. The page, first discovered by Twitter user harukaze5719, shows Asus's Vivobook S16OLED line, each with a CPU named (drumroll, please): AMD Ryzen AI9HX170. just roll off that tongue, right?

However, this page was updated today and instead showed the same laptop with AMDs and earlier Hawk Point mobile chips, aka AMD Ryzen9 8945HS and AMD Ryzen7 8845HS. Since then, the pages seem to be broken for product comparisons, but the Vivobook S16 laptop is still listed separately with the old Hawk Point Cpu. The AMD Ryzen AI9HX170, which was originally listed, is said to have 5.1GHz clock speed, 36MB cache, 12 cores, 24 threads, and "AMD Ryzen AI up to 77 top"

So what to do with this'Well, I care about a few options. First, this could have been an accidental reveal of a brand change that resulted in a quick update to the page, a ticking result from AMD. It's also possible that AMD planned to change the naming scheme and later forgot to return the decision and keep Asus in the loop. Or maybe the Asus intern has become very — and I understand that the new naming scheme is likely to reflect Intel's Core Ultra line, to avoid the presumption that the first thing on Earth

that was to be listed from the amds product line could be true. In itself, it features a 3-digit number after the first half of the brand, namely the Intel Core Ultra9 185H.

But if this is the case, Intel may not have missed the opportunity to clover the term "AI" somewhere because AMD might be planning here, on the one hand, it coincides with the company's recent declaration of 55 years of continuous (and somewhat dubious) AI innovation, and on the other, read out loud and crumble horribly in the mouth. This would make for a potential naming scheme.

What the name contains, it seems a lot overall in this case, but I'm still not sure if AMD will change the naming scheme again, but it will be the most likely time for Computex to occur on May 6.At the very least, it could change from a 4-digit change to something that could be parsed quickly without the explainer's article, the decoder, and the final tension headache.
