In an accidental listing, Asus has seemingly confirmed the upcoming launch of 14 new laptops powered by AMD’s next-generation Strix Point processors.
Chinese media outlet IT Home caught wind of this when Asus accidentally included the model numbers of these laptops in the compatibility list for the Asus ROG 240W Compact Plug power adapter. However, when we checked, the listing had already been taken down.
While there isn’t much info out there about the upcoming Strix Point processors, leaks suggest they will feature an upgraded XDNA 2 NPU compared to the current Ryzen 8040 (Hawk Point) lineup. AMD has previously claimed this new NPU will deliver three times faster performance.
The chip maker will likely share more details about the silicon at the upcoming Computex 2024 event in June.
As for the laptops, IT Home suggests the upcoming Asus laptops with “W” suffixes will have the new Strix Point APUs. Conversely, models with “U” suffixes are expected to retain the current Hawk Point processors.
