Unlike a proper next-gen offering, Gorgon Point is for all intents and purposes just a refreshed Ryzen AI 300 series with minor tweaks. And now we know that it's coming perhaps even sooner than expected — on January 22 — according to a new etail listing in China.

The first listing to show a Gorgon Point launch date comes from Asus' official store on JD, a large retailer in the region. The product page is for a Lingyao 16 Air laptop that will go up for sale on January 22. Its specs show a Ryzen AI 7 445 SoC, along with 32 GB of memory and a terabyte of storage. It also has a 2.8K OLED display with a peak brightness of 1,100 nits and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Owing to its Air name, the laptop only weighs 990 grams.
Overall, the device looks impressive, but the processor is the interesting bit here. Despite being called the Ryzen AI "7" 445, this is AMD's first-ever Ryzen 7-branded SKU to deviate from an 8-core config. We're looking at a 6-core/12-thread SKU with a boost clock of 4.6 GHz, just 14 MB of L3 cache, 4 RDNA 3.5 Compute Units, and up to 50 TOPS of AI compute enabled by the XDNA 2 NPU.
