AMD's upcoming Ryzen 8050-series processors, expected to launch later this year, will include codenamed Strix Point and Strix Point Halo products

Make a note that we still don't know the "official" naming convention of these Strix point APUs. Sources have pointed out either 8050 or 9050-series lineup, but a recent leak sort of debunks this!

There is a possibility that AMD is adopting a completely new naming scheme for the MOBILE SKUs, but not for the desktop "Granite Ridge" ZEN 5 client processors.

So coming to the leak, a new entry has been spotted on ASUS's webpage, and the said processor SKU has been dubbed as "Ryzen AI 9 HX 170".

The laptop mentioned on the product page is ASUS's Vivobook S 16, which features the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 170 CPU, sporting 12 cores which should be based on the Zen 5-core architecture, but we can't confirm this yet.

The new Ryzen AI 9 HX 170 model number sounds a bit odd though, and we still don't know whether this is an official naming convention to be used by AMD, or someone just made up this entry in the marketing documents for ASUS.

But there is a possibility this could also be legit. Because we have three numbers mentioned, and they sound similar to Intel's Core Ultra chip nomenclature. And the HX suffix has always been used for high-end mobile chips.

So it must be something like this, based on guesstimate:

Ryzen 9 AI HX 170/190

Ryzen 7 AI HX 150/160

Ryzen 5 AI HX 130/140

On the other hand, one recent LENOVO document also mentioned the "8050" nomenclature, but this entry was wrong and FAKE.

As debunked by Lenovo China's product manager.

That's a lotta cores! 😱

12 cores chip, and it also says AI under the description, so these are most certainly Strix Point processors with the new naming scheme as MM noted.

Wait till Strix HALO series hit the markets. 16+ cores as the minimum.

Personally, I like the Ryzen AI name change.
It's certainly better than the mess that is going to be 9035/9040/9045/9050
What were they hoping to do after 9000? 10050/10060?

I still find the name a bit confusing though. The "170" number could imply quite a few possibilities.
