Will AMD Use “Strix Point” Mobile Processor Numbering from the Ryzen 8050 Series?

It appears that AMD’s upcoming “Strix Point” mobile chip may adopt the Ryzen 8050 series processor numbering scheme, according to leaked Lenovo product brochures. The ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 business notebook is described in the Lenovo flyer. The number “5” supports the hypothesis that the 8050 series is a “Strix Point.” The “Zen 3” microarchitecture and “Rembrand-R” silicon served as the foundation for the Ryzen 7030 series CPUs. The Ryzen 7040 series was built upon the more recent “Phoenix” silicon and “Zen 4.” The present “Zen 4” microarchitecture and “Hawk Point” silicon serve as the foundation for the 8040 series chips.Can you see where this is going? Based on “Strix Point,” the Ryzen 8050 series will therefore include the newest “Zen 5” CPU cores along with other interesting features including an upgraded iGPU using the RDNA 3+ architecture and a 50 AI TOPS-class NPU. Action-packed announcements are anticipated from AMD at Computex 2024, including those pertaining to next-generation EPYC “Zen 5” server processors, client and commercial processors based on “Zen 5,” and possibly even the Radeon RX RDNA 4.
