I think the AI appears on any SKU with enough TOPS for copilot+ (they released some 200 SKUs that are just Ryzen 5/7, no AI)

Max is the segment number i.e. it's "Ryzen 11" (the other 300 series SKUs they announced are Ryzen AI [5|7] 3xx). Weirdly though there are no Ryzen 9s so maybe it's really just a rebrand of 9.

The Pro just means it has management and security features for enterprise customers.

The 375 is labeled Ryzen 9: https://www.amd.com/de/products/processors/laptop/ryzen/300-... but of course it's one of the previously available parts of the AI lineup, not a new one.

Thank you. It's nice to be able to decode that.

They managed to put Max, plus, and Pro into the name, which is kinda impressive in a way. Now we just need Ultra to complete the set.

AMD Better watch out, Altera, a subsidiary of Intel, claims a trademark on MAX+PLUS.

there's still room for MAX(+, +) or MAX(+, PRO)

> Not sure what's Max or Pro about it though.

Secure processor, shadow stacks, secure boot, hardware asset trackability. Enterprise stuff.

> Strix Halo is the codename, not marketing name, so you can remove that part.

That was the good part, lol.

Isn’t Strix a brand of RAM or something?

Strix is a brand name for the ASUS ROG line of PC components, but AMD is using it as a code name.

BTW, here's the meaning of "Strix": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strix_(mythology)
