Strix Halo is the codename, not marketing name, so you can remove that part.

"AI" seems to have replaced the segment number.

The + is because it's the top-end model of the lineup.

Not sure what's Max or Pro about it though.

I think the AI appears on any SKU with enough TOPS for copilot+ (they released some 200 SKUs that are just Ryzen 5/7, no AI)

Max is the segment number i.e. it's "Ryzen 11" (the other 300 series SKUs they announced are Ryzen AI [5|7] 3xx). Weirdly though there are no Ryzen 9s so maybe it's really just a rebrand of 9.

The Pro just means it has management and security features for enterprise customers.

They managed to put Max, plus, and Pro into the name, which is kinda impressive in a way. Now we just need Ultra to complete the set.

Secure processor, shadow stacks, secure boot, hardware asset trackability. Enterprise stuff.

That was the good part, lol.

Isn’t Strix a brand of RAM or something?

Sounds like ChatGPT had a breakdown when asked to name it.
