Because of the release of new processor categories for 2023 which are Mendocino - which focuses on feature-rich notebooks and Dragon Range for top-tier gaming, it prompts AMD to create a new naming scheme to properly recognize their mobile processors. All 2023+ mobile processors of AMD will be named based on their new naming system. Based on the image above from AMD, the new naming is composed of the Portfolio Year, Segment, Architecture, Feature isolation, and Form Factor/TDP. As shown below, AMD is expected to have 5 different markets/segments using different SoCs. As clarified by AMD, they’re not planning to change the general numbering system that they’ve used since the AMD Ryzen 1000 series. Following the announcement of its new flagship desktop APU, AMD has launched three (3) processors under the Carrizo family namely the FX-8800P, A10-7800P and A8-8600P. AMD has improved on all aspects of their new Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) from the previous generation, which is, in large part, credited to the use of new “Excavator” processing cores and 3rd Generation Graphics Next Core 1.2 (GCN 1.2) architecture. The Excavator cores and GCN 1.2, along with other new improvements, allow the AMD 6th Generation A-series processors to deliver smoother gaming experience which is claimed to be at par with the A10 Kaveri desktop APUs, but with significantly power consumption.
