Strix Point rumoured to be \'AMD\'s biggest laptop launch in history\'

If a recent leak is accurate, AMD is all set to unveil its new Ryzen AI chips (codenamed Strix Point) sometime in mid-July. Of course, the actual availability will differ by region, but it gives us a rough idea about when you can get your hands on one. Unlike previous generations, it won't be a "paper launch". Historically, one would be hard-pressed to find current-gen AMD laptops, but there'll be plenty of Strix Point models to go around this time.

Moore's Law is Dead's sources say Strix Point will be "AMD's biggest laptop launch in their history". Intel's Lunar Lake chips are not expected to show up until much later this year, giving AMD ample time to capture the market. Plus, the flagship Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 delivers desktop-class CPU performance by trading blows with the flagship Ryzen 9 9950X in single-core prowess. Plus, its Radeon 890M iGPU can even take on entry-level Turing/Ampere GPUs.

Asus, in particular, will have the most AMD Ryzen AI points on sale. Apparently, it has a "huge deal with AMD" this time around. This was evidenced by the first Strix Point leaks in which the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (then known as Ryzen AI 9 HX 170) was spotted on an Asus VivoBook S16 OLED. Those looking for a high-end gaming laptop with Strix Point will be disappointed to know that the current batch maxes out at a GeForce RTX 4070. Higher-end models might arrive later next year.

Plus, AMD is yet to announce its mid-range and entry-level Strix Point SKUs. One can reasonably expect them to arrive at CES. However, AMD's true Strix Point flagship, commonly known as Strix Halo, isn't scheduled to arrive until much later in 2025.
