AMD's laptop CPU naming schemes are, I can say with some confidence, difficult to parse even for those of us that make it our mission in life to keep track of them. So much so, in fact, that the company has previously resorted to handing out a decoder wheel to help poor hardware writers like myself make sense of various model number changes and code name variations.
Now a product comparison page for Asus laptops may have briefly revealed the naming scheme for the upcoming Strix Point mobile processors, and it's a doozy. First spotted by Twitter user harukaze5719, the page showed Asus' Vivobook S 16 OLED line, each featuring a CPU named (drumroll, please): the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 170. Just rolls off the tongue that one, doesn't it?
