The AMD Ryzen AI 7 HX 455 will be the first 8-core processor with the Radeon 890M

AMD is preparing a new processor in the family “Gorgon Point” for the mid-range of laptops. As revealed by a leak, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 HX 455 It will soon arrive in the company’s catalog of CPUs with Zen 5 architecture. Unless there is a surprise, it will be a processor that will be placed immediately above the Ryzen AI 7 450 with a somewhat striking combination of specifications.

He Ryzen AI 7 HX 455 will maintain a configuration of 8 cores and 16 threadsdistributed in a distribution of 4 high-performance Zen 5 cores and 4 Zen 5c cores with lower consumption and size. It is, therefore, the same distribution as the model it will replace, the Ryzen AI 7 450. Of course, it will increase its cache to 24 MB L3 from the 16 MB of its predecessor.

It will be the first Ryzen AI 7 with the Radeon 890M, a model until now reserved for the Ryzen AI 9

However, the graphic part is striking: this Ryzen AI 7 HX 455 It will make the jump to the Radeon 890M from the 860M that the 450 had. This means doubling the number of computing units or CUs, going from 8 to 16 with RDNA 3.5 architecture. This GPU, at least until now, was limited only to models in the Ryzen AI 9 line with more cores and CPU power.

If these improvements are confirmed, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 HX 455 It could become a very interesting option for compact systems that prioritize graphical power over number of cores, being able to offer the same graphical performance as higher-end models, but at a lower cost. It is even a processor that could find a place in portable consoles.
