AMD pushes the power of Ryzen AI 300 CPUs to business laptops --[Reported by Umva mag]

AMD announced its third-generation Ryzen Pro processors for business laptops on Thursday, taking the AI power of its Ryzen AI 300 consumer processors and applying them to the business world. AMD launched three very similar members of its Ryzen AI Pro 300 family, with core counts ranging from eight to 12 cores. They’ll launch later in October. AMD launched its Ryzen AI 300 laptop processor for consumers earlier this year, and the Ryzen AI Pro is basically that chip with some additional security technologies layered on top. The AI 300 ushered AMD’s new Zen 5 architecture into the market, with more cores and more powerful RDNA 3.5 graphics. The chip also includes AMD’s XDNA 2 NPU architecture, which more than doubles the available TOPS of the previous Ryzen Pro 8040 series from 16 to 50 to 55 TOPS, depending on the model. Otherwise, the Ryzen AI 300 Pro is similar to the 8040 in that it still uses the same 4nm process technology and consumes the same amount of power or between 15 to 54 watts. The new chips include the Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 375, the Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 370, and the Ryzen AI 7 HX Pro 360. Note the slight differences between the three Ryzen AI Pro chips, including the difference in TOPS inside the NPU.
