I was looking for a new Laptop for my personal use. I shortlisted Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 with AMD's Ryzen 9 AI 365. Then I was searching around and found they released a new lineup of Ryzen 9000 series just a month after the AI 300 series's launch.

I am confused here. So confused that I am debating whether to buy a processor with AI jargon in its name.

Will there be good Linux support for this NPU enabled laptops or should I go ahead and buy a ThinkPad P14s with Ryzen 8840HS inside. Both are about similar in price and only thing that keeps me from buying its 60Hz panel (No OLED 120Hz display where I live).

I use Gnome on EndeavourOS.

This is not correct. The mobile chips have changed their naming scheme in 2022 to an potentially misleading scheme, where the first number does not mean the architecture but the year it released. See https://www.xda-developers.com/amd-processors-explained/
