Ryzen AI Max Plus Pro 495
How does a CEO read this and not immediately fire their entire marketing team?
- cmrdporcupine 3mo agoMore numbers and letters and phrases = more excite! much customer!
- kryptiskt 3mo agoBecause it was the CEOs idea?
- gentlewater 3mo agoI know right. Where’s the «Elite»?
- ethbr1 3mo agoWhat is this, Dwarf Fortress?
- soggybread 3mo agoDon't forget the X's as well, i'm looking at you Amd RX 7900XTX
- stasomatic 3mo agoRyzen AI Max Plus Pro Ultra Light Air (not craft)
- esskay 3mo agoAgreed, what the heck were they thinking, it's obvious it should've been Ryzen AI Max Plus Pro Ultra 495.
- npn 3mo agoAI means it has npu, Max+ is marking the memory channel, PRO is a normal label for chips that have extra security baked in, it has been this way since forever. I don't see anything wrong with the name.
- elAhmo 3mo agoYou literally answered what is wrong with the name.
- izacus 3mo agoThey did not, can you explain what do you mean?
- VulgarExigency 3mo agoFor those of us with feebler minds than you or him, the name is just full of qualifiers that make no sense.
- ethbr1 3mo agoTo expand, positional definition of adjectives tends to be a bad marketing scheme. Nobody knows that pro and max mean specific things. If AMD needs to create a full cross-product of their hardware feature set, because they intend to have a SKU for every possible combination, they probably need a better scheme. Say what you want about Celeron/Pentium/i3/i5/i7, but it mostly got the idea across (except on the occasions Intel hijacked it to upbrand SKUs).
- izacus 3mo agoSo why do so many of major successful product corporations use this kind of naming scheme?
- TYPE_FASTER 3mo agoThey were just leaving room for the "Ultimate" model, to be released next year.
- mrits 3mo agoIt’s like after 10 years of DLCs where every items has 5 suffixes and prefixes
- processunknown 3mo agoDell did this too with their workstation laptops, Dell Pro Max 16 Plus. :/
- oblio 3mo agoWhy would they? It's a very scalable naming scheme, there's even room for Max Plus Pro Ultra, with 256GB of RAM.
- SAI_Peregrinus 3mo agoSchemes like this just indicate they've joined the USB IF.
- nrp 3mo agoWe're running out of space on our e-commerce UI elements and physical labels to fit some of these names.
