AMD's next-gen Strix Point APU for laptops and, we assume, gaming handhelds has been rumoured for so long it's taken on an almost mythical quality. But thanks to the Computex 2024 tech show, it's here at last and looks like an absolute beast, with more CPU cores, more GPU compute units, a much more powerful NPU, the whole works.
The first laptops with the new APU go on sale in July and guess what? Yup, the rumoured "Ryzen AI" branding is true. The new chip will be known as the Ryzen AI 300 Series. Indeed, the rumour that AMD changed the branding from Ryzen AI 100 to Ryzen AI 300 at the last minute is also true. Some elements of the marketing materials hadn't been fully updated and "Ryzen AI 100 Series" remains stencilled onto at least one of the images of the chip. Whoops.
