AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 processor series, codenamed Strix Point, is mainly provided for laptops and mobile devices. It adopts Zen 5 + Zen 5c size core design and has an NPU core of up to 55 TOPS.

This may be difficult to accept for a desktop platform, but because Ryzen AI 300 is designed for mobile devices, most devices do not have space to install 4 sets of memory, and the reduction in the number of slots will hardly affect expansion. sex has any impact.

On the contrary, in theory, reducing the number of channels that the processor needs to manage can help improve memory performance. Therefore, the maximum speed that Ryzen AI 300 can support LPDRR5X has increased from the original LPDDR5X-7500 to LPDDR5X-8000. However, for standard DDR5 memory The performance remains unchanged and remains at DDR5-5600 without additional overclocking.

The editorial department actually went to AMD’s product webpage and confirmed that the three existing Ryzen AI 300 processors, namely Ryzen AI 9 HX 375, HX 370, and 365, have been adjusted. Although the reason for the change is not sure, there are It may be to compete with Intel, after all, Core Ultra 200V can natively support LPDDR5X-8533.

In addition, OEM manufacturers seem to have known about AMD’s revised specifications for a long time. Foreign media VideoCardz obtained the specification sheet of HP’s EliteBook
