Discussion 2025 Intel/AMD Gaming Laptop CPU Naming Schemes
2025 CPUs – AMD
AMD’s CPUs are currently split between two main naming schemes for gaming laptops:
Ryzen AI branded CPUs and other non-AI branded Ryzen CPUs.
Ryzen AI CPUs currently include the Ryzen AI HX 300 Series and the Ryzen AI Max (300) series e.g. the Ryzen AI Max+ 395.
An example for the Ryzen AI HX CPUs would be the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, with the number after the word “AI” denoting the CPU’s tier, with “5” being deemed midrange, “7” higher tier and “9” a top tier CPU option.
Then there is the possibility of a designation of 1/2 letters to indicate the CPU’s designation, with the “HX” suffix implying high performance, potentially unlocked CPUs.
The first number after this, “3” is a indicator of the product generation, with the next two digits “70” being a SKU number, the higher this number is, the more powerful the CPU is within the respective CPU generation.
The Ryzen AI Max 300 series of CPUs currently includes the Ryzen AI Max 385, AI Max 390 and the AI Max+ 395.
These CPUs (“Strix Halo”) are all in one APUs with the AI Max 385/390 paired with the Radeon 8050S discrete graphics and the AI Max+ 395 paired with the 8060S discrete graphics.
With these CPUs, the higher the product number, the better, with the first number again signifies the product family generation, with the other two digits being the SKU number.
There is also the current naming scheme introduced in 2023 for Ryzen HS/HX CPUs in gaming laptops, with the Ryzen 9000HX series being the most recent use of this.
A product name such as the Ryzen 9 9955HX can be broken down as follows:
The first digit after the word “Ryzen” indicates the CPU product class/tier, with “5” being seen as midrange, “7” as upper mid-range/higher end and “9” considered top tier CPU options.
The CPU should then have 4 numbers, followed by several letters.
The first number, in this case “9” should indicate the year of release for the CPU, with 7 = 2023, 8 = 2024, 9 = 2025 and so forth (the recently released Ryzen 8000 HX refresh is a exception to this rule unfortunately, as they were released in 2025, NOT 2024).
The second number should indicate the processor market segment, with “5” and “6” being equivalent to a mid-range Ryzen 5 CPU, “7” equivalent to a higher tier Ryzen 7 CPU, “8” being equated to either a Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9 CPU depending on AMD’s mood that day and “9” being equated to a top tier Ryzen 9 CPU within the respective CPU generation.
The third and fourth numbers indicates the CPU architecture, with “3” being Zen 3, “4” being Zen 4, “5” being Zen 5 and so on. The fourth digit is either a “0” or “5”, with “5” indicating a upper model within a segment and can also be used to signify if a CPU is a + architecture (applicable to Zen, Zen+, Zen 3 and Zen 3+) e.g. Zen 3+ is “35”, whereas just Zen 3 is “30”.
Lastly, there is a letter or two signifying the CPU’s Form Factor/TDP. For gaming laptops, the important ones are “HS” (Ryzen 7000/8000 HS) for a high level of performance and efficiency for thinner, lighter laptops of 35W+ TDPS and “HX” for maximum performance of 55W+ TDPs (Ryzen 7000 HX, 9000 HX). You may also see AMD “HX3D” CPUs with a cache called 3D V-Cache.
Therefore, the Ryzen 9 9955HX is a 2025 CPU (9 = 2025), of the Ryzen 9 Market segmentation, based on Zen 5 architecture (first 5) and is a upper model within the segment (second 5), of maximum performance with a 55W+ TDP.
Intel CPUs
2025 Intel CPUs for laptops are currently split between the Core Ultra 200H series designed for thinner, lighter laptops and the 200 HX series for high performance (typically bulkier) laptops.
A example would the Core Ultra 9 285H. The first digit by itself after the "Core Ultra" title indicates the product class/tier, with “5” deemed mid-range, “7” higher tier and “9” top tier for its CPU generation.
The first digit of the three numbers is the CPU “Series”, with the “2” being the second generation or iteration of this CPU family. The second and third numbers indicate the SKU number of this CPU, again with the higher number being better.
Lastly, there is a letter or two at the end of the CPU name, we are primarily interested in the “H” and “HX” suffix, with “H” being designated to powerful CPUs for thinner, lighter laptops with a base power draw of ~45W, with “HX” CPUs having a longer term sustained base power of ~55W and higher maximum peak CPU power draw levels. “HX” Intel CPUs should also be able to access undervolting capabilities, provided this has not been restricted by the individual laptop OEMs.
Therefore, a Core Ultra 285H is a second generation, top tier, high level SKU of a CPU within its respective product class of CPUs designed for thinner, lighter laptops.
Whilst Intel and AMD have other CPU suffixes, such as “U” series CPUs, these are not of much interest to us in terms of CPU options paired with gaming laptops.
Integrated Graphics
For this it is best to confirm with the product datasheet for the CPUs you are looking at, most gaming laptop CPUs should have integrated graphics.
AMD IGPU capabilities
The high performance Ryzen 9000 HX CPUs and similar are usually expected to be paired with beefy dedicated graphics cards, so these CPUs typically have the relatively weak Radeon 610M iGPU.
The Ryzen 7000HS/8000HS CPUs are the predecessors to the Ryzen AI (300) series of CPUs and have generally more potent graphics capabilities than their more powerful Ryzen 7000HX/9000HX counterparts, up to iGPUs like the Radeon 780M.
The Ryzen AI Non-Max CPUs such as the 300 series e.g. HX 370 usually have more capable integrated Radeon graphics, ranging from the 840M (AI 5 340), 860M (AI 7 350), 880M (AI 9 365) and 890M (9 HX 370/9 HX 375).
The Ryzen AI Max lineup are APUs with an integrated dedicated graphics unit (Radeon 8050S/8060S) and these APUs are not designed to have another dedicated graphics card connected to them.
Intel IGPU Capabilities
For the higher performance Core Ultra 200HX CPUs, again these are expected to be paired with discrete graphics solutions so less powerful integrated Intel graphics have been predominantly used here.
For the Core Ultra 200H series CPUs, typically more powerful Intel Arc graphics such as the Arc 130T or 140T GPU is used here.
Integrated graphics – CPUs with NO IGPUs?
This is a fairly uncommon occurrence for laptops as being able to disable the dedicated graphics card in favour of solely running on the integrated graphics card has benefits such as better battery life, which is usually seen as a requirement to some degree with laptops for most users.
Two notable exceptions to the IGPU rule are the Ryzen 5 7235HS (4 Cores/8 Threads) and the Ryzen 7 7435HS (8 Cores/16 Threads).

Discussion Laptop Liquid Metal Repaste Guide
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Read FAQs at bottom first ⚠️⚠️⚠️
The Frequently Asked Questions far below answer many common questions laptop users have. Read them first before doing anything. Brief photo version of the LM repaste guide here. Throttlestop undervolt guide here, author approved. ✅ Have a question? Leave a comment.
0) Prepare 75% isopropyl alcohol in case we need to clean up spilled LM. Prepare q-tips, AKA cotton buds. Ideally wear gloves to prevent static electricity or hand-sweat shorting components.
⛔ Disassembling your laptop is the hardest part of all this. Read service manuals or watch disassembly videos so you know how to do it. Always remove all connectors and the battery first. When removing the heatsink, hold it securely near the center, and slowly apply even force to all sides to lift it off. If you bend your heatsink, you're gonna have a problem as described in FAQ 9.
ℹ️ If your laptop already came with LM, you most likely do not need to buy additional LM because there will already be more than enough inside, just likely spilled out on the side like this.

1) Use q-tips to spread existing LM until there is thin layer covering the entire chip, no part of the chip should be visible. The perfect application is "wet, but no pool". Compare the following: good, slightly too much, way too much.
ℹ️ If you're doing a repaste on old LM and find that the new LM refuses to spread, you need to clean the surface as much as possible with isopropyl alcohol, wait for it to dry, then apply new LM with some pressure using q-tips, it will take some time so be patient.

2) There will almost always be a small pool, but that's ok. Vertical test → Tilt laptop completely vertical (90° degrees) for 60 seconds. LM will gather to one side, but do they drip off? If not, then you're probably ok. If it drips off onto the tape, then quickly level your laptop and remove excess LM then repaste. This simulates the laptop position in your bag.
ℹ️ The idea is simple. Better to let it spill and clean up the excess LM and repaste now, then to have it spill while the laptop is bouncing around in your bag and risk the LM getting to the motherboard.

3) Now apply a thin layer on the chip imprints on the heatsink. This is very important so there will be no gaps when the heatsink is screwed back on. Compare the following: good, average, very bad.
ℹ️ If you can't see where the imprint is, put your heatsink on then take it off.

4) Don't wave q-tip around especially when there is a lot of LM on it. Ideally always put your hand underneath when carrying the q-tip across the motherboard.
5) Remove spilled LM (especially if accidentally spilled on other components). Dip a new q-tip in 75% isopropyl alcohol, then press the q-tip on tissue so it isn't dripping wet. Gently wipe the LM and you will see it stick on the q-tip: beware it can still fall off!
ℹ️ I recommend cleaning up the spilled LM just around the chip too. That way next time you open it you can see if any has spilled out (have you done a good job?)

6) Heatsink application is important. Slowly lower the heatsink. Apply gentle pressure with one hand to the CPU and GPU so the screws can be tightened properly. Follow the numbers in reverse, tighten every screw to only 80% first, then once they are all done, then go through and tighten to 100%.

7) January 2025 update. Want to see what mine looks like after a few months? I opened it up in the name of science — take a look below. Almost no spill means I did a pretty good job.
ℹ️ When you open it up there will always be a pool in a corner, due to that corner being the last point of contact before the heatsink leaves the chip, that's just how surface tension works. You can see that in the photo if you look closely.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ⚠️⚠️⚠️
0) My laptop is fairly new / it just got serviced, are you sure its LM application is bad?
Watch this video by Linus Tech Tips for 30 seconds. Brand new laptop with LM spilled everywhere. Or look at all these photos from different users: here, here, here, here, here, here.
Factory LM application is often bad because the automated process means squeezing a ton of LM on the chips, screwing the heatsink on, then the laptop gets transported on a long bumpy ride while lying sideways rather than flat. Most of the LM spill off because the weight of itself is greater than its own surface tension — just like how water droplets drip off cold drinks when they become too big.
Once the laptop is levelled, there is not enough LM remaining between the chips and the heatsink ➜ heat can't escape well ➜ CPU/GPU high temperature ➜ CPU/GPU throttle ➜ bad performance.
✅ Liquid metal repaste means we open it up and re-apply it properly with a nice thin even layer. Throttling means the CPU or GPU reducing its speed and performance, most often due to heat.
1) I've heard dangerous things about LM, is it really safe to repaste?
LM is very thermally conductive, meaning it's the best thermal compound in removing heat. It is also electrically conductive, meaning it can short out components if you spill it everywhere (just like water). However, if your laptop already comes with LM, then all the safeguards and protection are already there, including:
• The transparent kapton tape that entirely protects the SMDs (surface mounted devices), which are the very small components right beside the CPU and GPU.
• The sponge border barrier around the imprints means when the heatsink is fully screwed on, there is a physical barrier literally stopping the LM from getting out.
• If the laptop came with LM, then the heatsink part is most likely nickel-plated already. So you won't have the problem where LM decrease over time via reacting with the copper heatsink, like you would after a long time on a laptop that did not originally have LM.
✅ In short, it is really hard to screw up if you just follow the instructions on my guide. All you have to do is repaste the LM nicely and remove excessive LM. You can even use slightly too much and still be perfectly safe. Just take it slow and be careful.
⛔ If your laptop only came with LM on the GPU but not the CPU, then it might not be recommended for the CPU. Like this example (read the last sentence on the page).
⚠️ For a table of what is used on the CPU/GPU for Asus laptops, look at the table here.

2) What if my laptop didn't come with LM, or only the GPU doesn't have LM?
You need to be extra careful not to apply too much LM, and take the necessary precautions. Read the special guide here that I did on my old MSI laptop. Alternatively you can just use regular thermal paste, but I highly recommend using PTM7950 instead and following this guide.
⛔ Do not use LM if your heatsink is made of Aluminum (this is extremely rare).
3) When should I repaste? How do I know if bad performance is due to high temperatures?
✅ Check if you CPU/GPU are thermal throttling during gaming or usual workloads by downloading HWinfo and following the instructions below. Throttling can cause stutters and FPS drops.
Modern CPU are designed to run to 95~100C to extract the full performance. Therefore, when running prolonged stress test like Cinebench, your CPU will always eventually thermal throttle — so just test with the programs and games you usually use, like my Cyberpunk stress test.
⚠️ Does thermal throttling always mean FPS drops? The surprising answer is no. Thermal throttling is the PC saying "hey it's getting too hot, reduce the computational speed please". So your CPU might decrease from 5GHz to 4.7GHz during that period, and HWinfo will record it as thermal throttling. But here's the caveat: most games do not benefit much from speeds once you're over a certain threshold, around 4.2GHz. So it's entirely possible to be thermal throttling badly — technically losing "performance" — but still see no impact on the game's FPS. Ultimately, thermal throttling depends on many things: ambient temperature, fan speed/elevation, clock speed, power limit, undervolt/overclock, and thermal compound application/heatsink contact. We try to improve the last two so we can get lower temps, which in turn means either higher clock speeds or lower fan noise. The bottom line is to cap your FPS at some value you're happy with and aim to have it stable there.
TL;DR- It is best to have no thermal throttling at all. But even if you do, as long as the laptop isn't stuttering and experiencing FPS drops, it's not the end of the world.

4) Should I undervolt, and can I use undervolt with LM application?
✅ Absolutely! Read my Throttlestop guide, approved by the author himself as a first class guide. If you have Intel Core i9-13980HX or i9-14900HX you can use my settings for reference. Everything is safe to copy except the undervolt values themselves. Spend some time reading through my guide, everything I wrote is for a good reason, I promise.
5) How are undervolt and LM application different?
Undervolt reduces the amount of power used and therefore heat produced by the CPU, whereas a good LM application allows the heat to escape better. Doing a good job on both means better temperatures, quieter fans, and more performance by avoiding thermal limits and power limits.
For most people, LM is harder because you have to physically open the laptop and tinker with hardware, whereas UV is easier because you just do it with software.
6) Can I undervolt the GPU?
✅ Yes, overclocking the GPU is essentially the same as undervolting it, because in both cases the GPU is using less voltage at a given clock speed compared to before. You can OC using many software like Armory, the excellent G-Helper, Lenovo Vantage, or more generally MSI Afterburner. I typically recommend just applying a flat OC to the core and the memory. But if you want to get a max UV that's stable, you have to use the VF curve in Afterburner and set a maximum limit like this.

7) Will applying LM myself void my warranty?
✅ No. Unless the reason for your warranty is because you spilled LM somewhere and caused a component to short circuit. I have had many ASUS and MSI laptops, and I applied LM on all of them. I've sent them in for warranty multiple times and never had a problem.
⚠️ If you ask manufacturers anywhere around the world if you can replace LM, they will often tell you "it's not advised". Because they don't know how capable each person is, or how much knowledge they have, so they would rather save themselves some trouble. If they are nice enough, they will offer to re-paste the LM for the customer under warranty. If not, the customer often has to suffer overheating and bad performance. I'm a strong believer that if you spend the money on a good CPU and GPU, you deserve to get the most out of it. Hence the existence of my guides.
⛔ Most companies literally have guides telling you how to open and service your own laptops. Opening your laptop does NOT void your warranty, but it may void your return period or right to refund. Do not listen to people spreading misinformation. ⛔

8) My laptop is overheating. Is the problem that everyone is talking about regarding Intel's 13th/14th Gen HX-series CPU having stability issues to blame?
✅ Highly unlikely, even if we assume Intel is wrong about the issue not affecting 13th/14th Gen mobile processors. Intel's fiasco has to do with the CPU using higher than intended voltages, which eventually leads to the CPU degrading and thus becoming unstable. While higher voltages can lead to more heat, overheating does not require high voltages at all. Modern CPUs produce a lot of heat, period, and if there's bad LM application or bad contact with the heatsink, heat will quickly build-up.
As of 2025, most manufacturers have fixed Intel's voltage issues through BIOS updates. You can check your microcode using HWinfo (don't check sensors or summary only), the microcode version containing the fix should be 12B as seen below. You can also monitor all the P-cores' maximum voltages. If they don't come anywhere near 1.55V, you have nothing to worry about. Chances are you're seeing the P-cores reach high max temps, while having max voltages below 1.5V. Of course, with undervolting, there is even less reason to worry.

9) Is it possible to apply a perfect LM application, and still have non-perfect or even somewhat bad temperatures?
✅ Yes, but first let's define what "bad temperatures" mean exactly. Because context really matters.
If your laptop is idling doing nothing (installing background updates etc. does not count as nothing, by the way) and reaching 70C, that's bad. If your laptop is running Cinebench R23 and reaching 100C while barely thermal throttling, that's good. Ambient temp, fan speed/elevation, clock speed/power limit, undervolting/overclocking, all affect temperature too.
Now back to the original question — yes it's possible, if the heatsink or fans are faulty. It's fairly easy to see if a fan is faulty (just look at the RPM values in software or listen to the sound), and a bent heatsink is a bad heatsink because you no longer get good contact with the chips. On the other hand, a truly faulty heatsink is rare and harder to diagnose. I speak from experience.
My own Asus Scar 18 (2024) original heatsink was faulty. I applied perfect LM, and yet during intense gaming, some CPU cores still hit 97C and the GPU hit 87C (while running Black Myth Wukong), albeit briefly. At higher temperatures and with the back of my laptop raised, the heatsink itself made small but audible cracking/popping noises. I was able to prove this to Asus by opening the back cover while Wukong was running and let them listen to the popping noise. There was clearly some issue with the gas-liquid mixture inside the heatpipes because normal heatsinks don't make this sound. They swapped in a new heatsink, the noise was gone, but the temperatures were bad because the technician didn't paste the imprint (where do you think I got the bad photo of the heatsink imprint from)? After repasting myself the CPU never exceeded 91C and the GPU never exceeded 80C again (while running Black Myth Wukong). This new heatsink allowed my i9-14900HX to reach a massive 36k in Cinebench R23 and 2k in Cinebench 2024. This is of course with Throttlestop undervolt.

10) Help! My laptop isn't turning on after opening it and putting everything back!
Remove the power connector. Hold down the power button for 60 seconds. Connect power, wait ten seconds, then try starting up. If it powers on, be patient as it may take some time.
If laptop still won't boot, remove the power connector, and detach the battery. Hold down the power button for 60 seconds. Connect power, wait ten seconds, then try starting up. Again, be patient.
Once the laptop boots up fine, you can shut it down, remove power connector, and reconnect the battery.
11) Thank you so much, is there anything I can do in return?
I spend time writing guides and helping people, because I'm a strong believer that you deserve to get the most out of your laptop. That's already a great reward unto itself, so please do not feel obliged to do anything.
If you really want to do something, you can spend a minute to check out my game mods here (you only need a free account to download). Alternatively, you can also buy me a coffee ☕thank you :)

CPU Comparison i9 14900 and 5060 or i9 14650 and 5070?
Hello everyone, I'm about to buy a gaming notebook and have decided on the MSI Katana 15 HX. I found two offers for two variants of the same model: One is €1,400 with an i9 14900hx and an RTX 5060 8GB. The other is €1,450 with an i9 14650hx and an RTX 5070 with 8 GB. The rest of the technical specifications are identical: 16 GB RAM, same monitor, same SSD, etc. (I checked the PDFs of each version on the MSI website). I will use the notebook primarily for 3D modeling and rendering, and occasionally for gaming (I already have a PS5 and don't use it much). Do you think it's worth spending 50 euros more for the 5070 with a slightly less powerful processor? Since both GPUs are 8 GB, I don't think this makes much sense.

Laptop Recommendation Victus VS LOQ
Hi there, im going to study industrial engineering next year and still need to get a laptop since i dont have one.
Ive been looking at the Lenovo LOQ 15IRX10 with the i7-14700 and a 5050 with 16Gb of ddr5 ram and a 1tb SSD but im unsure about the weight, battery life and display.
