Lenovo is set to join the chiplet gaming laptop trend with new AMD and Nvidia models.

Just a week after the Nvidia N1 and N1X Arm processors made their way into the gaming laptop scene, sharp-eyed enthusiasts have spotted evidence that Lenovo is embracing the chiplet trend. A list of ‘supported’ models on the Lenovo Legion Space support page suggests at least one machine is set to feature AMD’s Strix Halo architecture, alongside the previously rumored Nvidia N1X Arm models.

This discovery comes from a Twitter user who shared a screenshot of the listing, which quickly gained traction. The ‘ASH’ in the Legion name is particularly revealing.

The original Legion 7 Gen 11 is a 16″ model, but these new entries are 15″.

Lenovo has a consistent naming convention for its gaming laptops, which is why the recently noted Legion 7 15N1X11 caught attention. The format follows ‘model – class – size – processor’, and it’s the processor that’s the focus here.

The presence of N1X strongly indicates Nvidia’s involvement in Lenovo’s upcoming lineup, and now AMD is making an appearance as well.

The Legion 7 15ASH11 adheres to the same naming structure, with ‘A’ denoting AMD, similar to how ‘I’ represents Intel in other models. The ‘SH’ is interpreted as Strix Halo, the x86 APU previously seen in the Asus ROG Flow Z13.

Strix Halo (and the anticipated ‘Gorgon Halo’ refresh) operates differently from Nvidia’s Arm N1X and N1 processors, utilizing an x86 architecture while still emphasizing integrated graphics for more compact devices. It has been exclusive to Asus for a while, powering some of the top gaming tablets available, but it seems Lenovo is ready to introduce this chiplet into their lineup.

These lighter, more portable machines won’t be confined to Nvidia’s rumored releases later this year. The chiplet approach appears to be here to stay and could establish its own niche in the market by this time next year.

This is promising news for those seeking a versatile device for both work and play. While dedicated graphics cards will always outperform these SoC options in raw power, as Arm and other integrated systems evolve, those prioritizing portability and efficiency may find a broader selection available in the coming year.
