8 stands for 2024 btw.
The 4 means zen 4
Thank you AMD for a totally not confusing naming scheme for laptops.
What's so confusing about it? Isn't the naming convention public info? So those that care about model numbers can look up what's what - or am I missing something?
The issue is that it breaks the commonly accepted trend of bigger number better. You could have an 8520U get clapped by a 7540U for example, because even though the latter is newer, the former is Zen 4 to its Zen 2.
Absolutely completely irrelevant!
Show me a laptop line with these both in them. They are for completely different type of products.
You buy laptops, not laptop cpus. If you are looking for something to game on, you will not even see laptops with mendocino on them.
They had to change the system as they now have multiple different types of cpus instead of one they had different numbers of cores for.
