AMD To End HS, H & U Branding For 15-45W Mobile CPUs, Strix Adopts “Ryzen AI” Branding That Scales Across Multiple TDPs

wccftech.com:

AMD is ending its HS, H & U branding which helped distinguish between Ryzen Mobile CPUs & adopting the "Ryzen AI" naming convention across all next-gen SKUs starting Strix Point.

AMD "Ryzen AI" Branding To Be Used Across All Next-Gen 15-45W Mobile CPUs Starting Strix Point Marking The End of HS, H & U Series

In a previous post, we reported how AMD was going to go all in on the "Ryzen AI" branding for its future APUs such as Strix Point and its derivatives. Now, Lenovo China's manager at Weibo seems to agree with this information and has said that AMD is going to end the HS, H, & U series branding which it formulated several years ago and recently updated with its Ryzen 7040 "Phoenix" chips in 2022.

Currently, AMD offers its mobile Ryzen CPUs in four segments, the high-end HX (55W+), standard HS & H (35W+), and low-power U (15-28W) chips. This naming scheme was adopted in the Ryzen 7000 series which included five different CPU families such as Dragon Range (Ryzen 7045), Phoenix (Ryzen 7040), Rembrandt Refresh (Ryzen 7035), Barcelo Refresh (Ryzen 7030) & the entry-level Mendocino (Ryzen 7020) series.

All of these families and the resultant Ryzen chips target a range of market segments. The most recent CPU entrant to make use of this naming scheme is the Hawk Point (Ryzen 8040) series.

But as we mentioned last time, AMD is diving heavily into the AI PC segment & that has prompted the company to make significant branding changes. The new naming scheme will be called "Ryzen AI" and the first generation will use the 100 series numbering. This is similar to Intel's Core Ultra 100 lineup which kicked off with the "Meteor Lake" family. One thing that the new naming scheme might make it difficult for consumers to understand would be the actual TDP configuration of the new chips.

For example, consumers can tell between the U, H, HS, and HX families as to
