I was looking for a new Laptop for my personal use. I shortlisted Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 with AMD’s Ryzen 9 AI 365. Then I was searching around and found they released a new lineup of Ryzen 9000 series just a month after the AI 300 series’s launch.
I am confused here. So confused that I am debating whether to buy a processor with AI jargon in its name.
Will there be good Linux support for this NPU enabled laptops or should I go ahead and buy a ThinkPad P14s with Ryzen 8840HS inside. Both are about similar in price and only thing that keeps me from buying its 60Hz panel (No OLED 120Hz display where I live).
I use Gnome on EndeavourOS.
What are you talking about? I replied above with a link that clearly describes their naming convention. It’s painfully simply once you understand it.
I think OC refers to the change in naming scheme on the mobile chips. They changed it so that for example in 7640U, the 7 refers not to the architecture generation it instead refers to the launch year and the 4 is the actual indicator on the architecture generation.
A graphic explaining this can be found here: https://www.xda-developers.com/amd-processors-explained/
This does differ from the desktop naming scheme and it could be argued that this is to mislead customers.
Ahhh, my bad. I misread it. I’ll check out the new stuff.
