- AMD Ryzen PRO 8040 Series and AMD Ryzen PRO 8000 Series provide businesses with the world’s fastest and most advanced x86 processors for AI PCs.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) unveiled a series of chips for artificial intelligence-enabled personal computers as it looks to expand its share of the lucrative “AI PCs” market.
The chip designer said its latest Ryzen PRO 8040 Series is built for “business laptops and mobile workstations” while its AMD Ryzen PRO 8000 Series is a desktop processor for business users.
These chips are expected to be available in platforms from HP and Lenovo starting in the second quarter of 2024.
By leveraging the CPU, GPU, and dedicated on-chip neural processing unit (NPU), new Ryzen AI-powered processors provide more dedicated AI processing power than previous generations, with up to 16 dedicated NPU TOPS (Trillions of Operations Per Second) and up to 39 total system TOPS.
Commercial PCs equipped with new Ryzen AI-enabled processors will help transform user experience, offering next-gen performance for AI-enabled collaboration, content creation, and data and analytics workloads.
Unmatched power
AMD claims that Ryzen PRO 8040 Series mobile processors are the world’s most advanced and fastest x86 processors, designed for enterprise customers seeking superior efficiency and performance.
With up to 30 per cent greater performance compared to competition, integrated AMD Ryzen AI, RDNA 3 graphics, and WiFi-7 technology, these processors redefine mobile workstation standards, offering unmatched power for the most demanding business and AI workloads.
“AMD continues to deliver the broadest portfolio of AI technologies to address the needs of the modern business. As we continue to expand our AI PC leadership, we are bringing more power and efficiency to a wide array of desktops and mobile PCs,” Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager, Computing and Graphics Group at AMD, said.
