Team Red is quite fond of introducing a refresh of its existing CPU lineup in an attempt to offer more „appealing“ SKUs to the markets and fill in the performance gap present within the budget segment. For those unaware, AMD’s Phoenix lineup, which was probably one of the most popular ones, saw a refresh: the Ryzen 8000 series „Hawk Point“ APUs. The most notable change in this refresh was the upgraded NPU, offering up to 16 TOPS.
Now, as revealed earlier and now according to a leak by Golden Pig Upgrade Pack on Weibo (via Olrak_29), AMD plans to introduce a Hawk Point refresh APU lineup under the Ryzen 200 naming scheme, based on the same Zen 4 architecture, with minimal changes expected.
