AMD Strix Point Ryzen 9000 To Be Renamed to Ryzen AI 300 Series

Published by Hilbert Hagedoorn 0

teaser
Multiple credible Chinese sources, including updates from a Lenovo product manager reported significant updates to AMD's naming strategy for its next-generation APUs, codenamed Strix Point. Originally anticipated to be branded as the Ryzen AI 100 series, the latest development indicates a shift to the Ryzen AI 300 series. This new nomenclature, if finalized, will categorize the forthcoming APUs as Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Ryzen AI 9 365. This shift suggests AMD's ongoing adjustments in its product branding to better reflect the advancements and generational leaps in its technology. The Strix Point series, successor to the Phoenix Point lineup that first introduced Neural Processing Unit (NPU) technology, is noted as the third generation of AMD's APUs incorporating NPU functionality. This appears to be a primary reason for the adoption of the '3' in the new Ryzen AI 300 series naming convention. The processors are anticipated to feature a dual Compute Complex (CCX) design, integrating up to 4 Zen5 cores and 8 Zen5c cores, along with a 24MB L3 cache.

AMD Re-Releases Anti-Lag 2 Technology - Preview with Counter Strike 2 Compatibility

Published by Hilbert Hagedoorn 11

teaser
AMD has reintroduced its latency reduction technology, formerly known as Radeon Anti-Lag+, now rebranded as Anti-Lag 2. This update comes in response to the initial launch issues where the technology was found to interfere with anti-cheat systems, notably Valve’s VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat), during gameplay in titles such as Counter Strike 2. Previously, the technology aimed to compete with NVIDIA Reflex by reducing system latency not only in competitive online games like Counter Strike 2 but also in supporting the FSR 3 Frame Generation. However, due to complications with anti-cheat systems which resulted in the wrongful suspension of gamer accounts, AMD temporarily withdrew the feature. AMD has now overhauled Anti-Lag 2, making it game engine-based rather than driver-based. This shift ensures that the frame pacing, which synchronizes CPU and GPU output to minimize latency, is now integrated into the game’s engine itself rather than being managed externally by the driver software. This change addresses the previous issues where the frame pacing mechanism could be mistakenly identified by anti-cheat software as a cheat tool like aimbots or wall hacks.
