Interesting tidbits from AMD’s unveiling of their new CPU yesterday include the Ryzen AI 300 chip for laptops no longer supporting Windows 10, while the Ryzen 9000 chip for desktops will continue to do so. Both chips utilize the Zen 5 architecture.
This news may not come as a surprise, given that Windows 10 will end support in 2025, coupled with the natural inclination of laptops to come with Windows pre-installed. This could explain why AMD has opted to completely drop support for Windows 10, even to the extent of not providing drivers for self-installation. On the other hand, desktop PCs have a community of DIY enthusiasts who install their own operating systems, prompting AMD to continue supporting Ryzen 9000.
