According Tom's Hardware, Chinese PC manufacturer Hasee chairman Wu Haijun has confirmed that these forthcoming CPUs will be branded using AMD's old naming scheme. He further claimed the development of an X3D variant for mobile, specifically the Ryzen 9 9955HX3D.
Haijun talked about the upcoming HX processors from AMD and Intel. He indicated that AMD is porting its X3D or 3D V-Cache technology to mobile with the Fire Range X3D. However, Haijun did not confirm whether Hasee's products would feature this processor.
AMD's Zen 5 mobile CPUs have adopted the new Ryzen AI 300 branding, yet the firm is reviving its old naming scheme for the Fire Range series.
Intel's Arrow Lake-HX 255HX and 275HX processors, which are rumoured to feature 20 and 24 cores, respectively, have not impressed in terms of performance. The term "performance" remains vague in this context, but it is known that Arrow Lake does not offer significant improvements over Raptor Lake in raw performance.
Arrow Lake-HX is expected to outperform Raptor Lake-HX if both chips operate within a strict 45W power limit. Further details are anticipated from Intel's CES keynote.
AMD and Intel offer select processors employing desktop-grade silicon branded with the HX suffix at the high end. With Ryzen 7000, AMD introduced the Dragon Range series, featuring upwards of two CCDs and one IOD, setting them apart from other monolithic mobile counterparts.
These processors are intended for workstations or desktop replacements but suffer from poor battery life due to their multi-chiplet design. Similarly, Intel's HX-series processors are no different, with the latest iteration, Core Ultra 200HX or Arrow Lake HX, expected to debut at CES.
