I was looking for a new Laptop for my personal use. I shortlisted Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 with AMD's Ryzen 9 AI 365. Then I was searching around and found they released a new lineup of Ryzen 9000 series just a month after the AI 300 series's launch.

I am confused here. So confused that I am debating whether to buy a processor with AI jargon in its name.

Will there be good Linux support for this NPU enabled laptops or should I go ahead and buy a ThinkPad P14s with Ryzen 8840HS inside. Both are about similar in price and only thing that keeps me from buying its 60Hz panel (No OLED 120Hz display where I live).

I use Gnome on EndeavourOS.

Ryzen 9000 and AI 300 are Zen 5, 8840 is Zen 4.

There is also generally no connection between the name of the model and actual hardware generation, AMD is known to sell old CPUs under new names (yes they are scummy like that). For example Ryzen 7000 can be Zen 4, Zen 3 or even Zen 2. You need to look up specific model name to learn what CPU core it has. So far though Ryzen 9000 and Ryzen AI are all Zen 5.

Which Ryzen 7000 is Zen2?

Mendocino, which I think is 7X2X
