AMD & Intel Laptop CPU Families Detailed: Ryzen 8000 STRIX & HAWK Point In 2024, Arrow Lake-H/HX & Lunar Lake-M By 2025
The next-gen AMD & Intel laptop CPU families have been detailed which cover Strix Point, Hawk Point, Arrow Lake & Lunar Lake.
The latest information comes from Golden Pig Upgrade over at Bilibili which mostly includes data that we have known for a while along with a few new additions. The laptop lineups covered here include next-gen products from both AMD & Ryzen between 2023-2025.

According to the data, the Hawk Point family will arrive early next year and act as a refresh to the existing Phoenix "Ryzen 7040" APUs. These APUs will reutilize the Zen 4 architecture, offering up to 8 cores and 16 threads. The chips will be compatible with the FP7/r2 and FP8 platforms while featuring support for DDR5/LPDDR5x memory. The leaker states that the RDNA 3 architecture will be utilized for Hawk Point APUs whereas earlier rumors had stated RDNA 3.5 graphics architecture for Hawk Point.
The actual successor to the AMD Ryzen 7040 "Phoenix" APUs will be Strix Point and Strix Point Halo, both of which will fall under the Ryzen 8050 APU family. These laptop chips will be separated into two segments since the Strix Point chips will offer a monolithic design with a mix of Zen 5C and Zen 5D cores while the higher-end Strix Halo chips will feature a chiplet design with the Zen 5C cores alone.
