FULL STORY
======================================================================

If you were hoping to see some seriously powerful gaming laptops driven by 
the next-in-line top-end mobile silicon from AMD and Intel later this year, 
those expectations might fail to be met, or at least thats the latest gossip 
from the rumor mill. 

 Wccftech spotted that hardware leaker Golden Pig Upgrade  a source with a 
reasonable track record  made a comment on Weibo to the effect that there are 
no new high-end mobile processors coming this year. 

That statement pertained to the future Xiaomi Redmi G Pro laptop refresh, 
which will have a high-end (HX series) Intel Arrow Lake CPU, but Wccftech 
points out that the comment refers to launches across the board. So, in 
theory that also includes AMDs incoming Strix Point family of mobile 
processors (to some extent  well come back to that). 

In short, the most powerful laptop CPUs will remain Intels top-end Raptor 
Lake Refresh (HX) and AMDs Dragon Range HX (alongside Hawk Point below that) 
for some time yet. At least in theory, as we should heap on the seasoning 
here. Analysis: Intel delay seems quite possible 

We can believe that Intels next HX series chips might be pushed to early 
2025, and the same is true for AMDs Strix Point Halo, the very beefiest 
versions of Strix Point processors. Indeed, there has already been 
speculation that Strix Point Halo will be delayed to 2025 , so that makes 
sense (at least based on past rumors). Fire Range HX, the successor to Dragon 
Range, also isnt rumored to debut until 2025. 

However, we should still get vanilla Strix Point APUs for laptops (mixing Zen 
5 with RDNA 3.5 graphics) in 2024, even though Wccftech appears to draw a 
broader conclusion here that Zen 5 mobile won't be arriving in 2024. Plain 
Strix Point will still be powerful notebook chips and should arrive late in 
the summer of 2024. 

 Zen 5 desktop will certainly be out at some stage later in 2024  very likely 
before Arrow Lake desktop, according to rumors. Arrow Lake desktop is 
supposed to arrive late in 2024 from what weve heard, so having the laptop 
chips run slightly later, into early 2025, seems believable enough. 

Still, we should be skeptical about all of this info as already noted. You
