Lenovo has made headlines with its latest leak, revealing the Ryzen 8050 name for its next-gen AMD Strix Point APUs. This exciting development was first spotted in a brochure for the upcoming ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 laptop. This new model is set to deliver impressive AI capabilities, thanks to AMD’s advanced Ryzen AI NPU technology.
The ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 isn’t just about power; it also focuses on sustainability and repairability. It boasts up to 64 GB of DDR5 memory, enhanced WIFI connectivity, and a bright 14″ display. This laptop combines cutting-edge technology with environmental consciousness, using recycled components and optimized energy consumption for extended battery life.
In addition to the Ryzen Pro 8040 “Hawk Point,” the laptop will feature the Ryzen 8050 “Strix Point” series. This new APU lineup includes up to 12 Zen 5 + Zen 5C cores and 16 RDNA 3 compute units, integrated with the latest XDNA 2 AI NPU. This setup is expected to deliver unparalleled performance and AI capabilities.
Expected to launch in the second half of 2024, the AMD Ryzen Strix Point APUs will initially be available in Lenovo’s ThinkPad T14 Gen 5, starting at €1,299. The APUs are part of a broader AMD announcement expected at Computex 2024, adding to the anticipation.
This leak indicates a shift in AMD’s naming conventions, potentially simplifying the understanding of its APU lineup for mobile devices. While desktops might retain the Ryzen 9000 names, mobile devices will embrace the Ryzen 8000 series, marking a significant evolution in AMD’s approach to its chipset categorizations.
