AMD will be making the naming of its Ryzen AI chips such as the Ryzen 8040 APUs & the respective AI PCs more clear to help consumers make the right choice.

The full statement can be read below:

[Mark Hachman - Senior Edition at PCWorld] Q- Is there going to be sort of an indication that you're buying an AI PC, I mean your partners saying hey we are going to put these stickers on to let people know this has AI in it?

[Jason Banta - VP & GM of Client OEM at AMD] A- We are getting more and more clear at our messaging.

The first PCs based on the 8040 coming out in Q1, February timeframe, so when those are coming out, you will see more of how we are going to message that to make them much more clear to the buyer.

The AMD Ryzen 8040 "Hawk Point" APUs will feature several SKUs and although they are a refresh
