At an event in China earlier today AMD shared its AI PC ecosystem plans. The Beijing AI PC Innovation Summit saw the introduction of the Ryzen 'Hawk Point' 8040 series and 8000G desktop solutions to the Chinese market and, perhaps more interestingly to us, new AMD roadmaps including the next-gen consumer Ryzen chips. These codenamed 'Strix Point' chips will combine the charms of Zen 5, RDNA 3+, and XDNA 2 processing.
AMD CEO Lisa Su began her presentation on the now-familiar theme of artificial intelligence driving a revolution touching every corner of the tech industry. AMD has a wide range of AI accelerating processors covering the data center to AI PCs to the edge, but as this event was meant to introduce the latest Ryzen chips to China (and with partners like Asus and Lenovo taking part in the summit) we got a pleasingly large chunk of discussion about PCs.
