AMD has recently launched the Ryzen 8000 series of mobile processors, and now it looks like the company is ready to move on to the next big thing. The next mobile processor, Strix Point, will be the first to feature the next-generation Zen 5 architecture, according to company executives.
The big news was revealed by Dr. Lisa Su, AMD’s chief executive officer, during the company’s fourth-quarter 2023 earnings report. AMD reported net income of $667 million, a whopping 3,073 percent increase from just $21 million in profits a year earlier, with revenue climbing 10 percent to $6.168 billion.
The Ryzen 8000 series is on track to launch soon as well, with notebooks shipping as early as February. But AMD is already looking forward to Strix Point, the next-generation mobile chip, which is expected to launch later this year. Strix Point is expected to deliver more than three times the AI performance of the Ryzen 7040 series processors, providing significant improvements to performance, energy efficiency, and AI capabilities for PCs, according to Su.
AMD has forecasted bigger revenue growth for the second half of the year, tied to the expected release of new products, AI PC leadership, and the upcoming wave of Zen 5 CPUs. AMD’s new Strix Point chip will be challenging Intel’s Meteor Lake and Lunar Lake, which claim to triple the performance of the NPU’s AI performance.
