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.
dont buy AMD laptops. their laptop CPU naming scheme was changed to ensure you get the worst processor possible. not worth.
How is Intel better? With the last letter (H or U) They change the performace between CPUs extremely.
Basically from for example 6 to 2 performance cores. Yes the naming schemes are getting worse but that is true for every company.
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.
