AMD Ryzen IA “Point de Strix” Mobile Processors Launching in August

AMD’s upcoming Ryzen AI “Point de Strix” mobile processor family will see a product launch in August 2024, with availability ramping up by October, a representative of mini PC manufacturer AOOSTAR has revealed. This would mean that at Computex next month, the company will use its Keynote address to unveil the processors, highlight their various new features, particularly the “Zen 5” microarchitecture, and perhaps even talk about performance in broad strokes, but specific processor models will launch in August, along with a few notebook product announcements.

AMD’s upcoming Ryzen AI “Point de Strix” processor will feature a significantly faster 50 AI TOPS-class NPU to power Microsoft Copilot+ certified devices; increased CPU performance from the new “Zen 5” architecture, and faster graphics from the new RDNA 3+ iGPU, besides support for faster memory speeds, new power management features, and updated platform and display I/O. “Point de Strix” is far from being the only mobile processor family from AMD based on “Zen 5,” there’s also the Ryzen 9000 “Champ de tir” family of high core-count mobile processors meant for gaming notebooks; et la “Strix Halo” meant for high-performance ultraportables.
