Welfare | AMD expands the leading advantage of mobile PCs with AMD Ryzen 8040 series processors, promotes the widespread availability of Ryzen AI software, and accelerates the development of the AI ​​PC era

Recently, AMD announced the launch of the new Ryzen 8040 series mobile processors, which expands its leading position in mobile products with its first-class x86 processor performance. By integrating Ryzen AI NPUs within select model chips, AMD is bringing more high-performance AI PCs to market with 1.6x higher AI processing performance than previous AMD models to deliver new premium experiences and AI-ready capabilities. To further promote a better AI experience, AMD also provides users with widely available Ryzen AI software, allowing users to easily build and deploy learning models on AI PCs.

The AMD Ryzen 8040 series processors are the latest additions to the powerful Ryzen processor lineup and are expected to be widely available from leading OEMs including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Razer starting in the first quarter of 2024. Products equipped with this series of processors are provided.

Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager of AMD's Computing and Graphics Group, said: "We continue to reimagine PCs with high-performance and energy-efficient NPUs through Ryzen AI technology. The enhanced AI performance of the Ryzen 8040 series can now handle larger model to bring next-generation AI PC user experience.”

From everyday productivity to incredible content creation, AMD Ryzen 8040 series processors deliver a new level of performance. Designed using AMD "Zen 4" processor architecture, with up to 8 cores and 16 threads of processing power, Ryzen 9 8945HS has leading single-core and multi-core performance. With Radeon graphics based on the AMD RDNA 3 architecture and, on select models, AMD Ryzen AI built on the AMD XDNA architecture, the new processors are designed for creative professionals looking for a powerful, reliable laptop capable of running advanced AI experiences. Tailored for , gamers and mainstream users.

The latest Ryzen processors deliver performance and battery life improvements to ultra-thin laptops with innovative power management features, making them ideal for modern professionals, gaming enthusiasts and creatives looking for a faster, more energy-efficient computing platform choose. AMD Ryzen 8040 series processors also support advanced LPDDR5 memory. With this new series of processors, users can fully enjoy immersive virtual experiences, gaming and streaming media, and ensure that their devices remain energy efficient while supporting demanding AI applications.

AMD Ryzen 8040 series processors are ready to take full advantage of the Windows 11 ecosystem to optimize performance, including full support for Windows 11 security features. Select systems powered by AMD Ryzen 8040 series processors can access out-of-the-box AI through the Windows Studio Effects Pack, protecting privacy with background blur, eye tracking and noise cancellation at home or on the go.

Pavan Davuluri, corporate vice president of Windows Chip and System Integration at Microsoft, said: "It's great to see AMD and Microsoft's long-term cooperation move towards the next wave of technology and bring AI innovation to our mutual customers. We are looking forward to powering Ryzen 8040 "Devices with a range of processors are growing in the Windows ecosystem, and we can't wait to see what developers and users can do with these innovations."

Ryzen AI software is now widely available, enabling developers to build and deploy machine learning models trained in frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow and run on Ryzen AI-enabled laptops.

Version 1.0 of Ryzen AI software supports ONNX Runtime applications and provides a pre-optimized model zoo on Hugging Face, allowing users to get up and running AI models in minutes. Laptops equipped with Ryzen AI can load AI models into the NPU, freeing up CPU resources, thereby helping to reduce power consumption and extend battery life. As part of the Ryzen AI software release, developers can leverage Ryzen AI to build AI applications with advanced gesture recognition, biometric authentication and other accessibility features. Developers also receive early access support for automatic speech recognition models such as Whisper, large language models (LLMs) such as OPT and Llama-2 to build natural language speech interfaces for their applications, and unlock additional natural language processing capabilities. Such as document summarization and email assistance.

AMD also recently announced the Pervasive AI Developer Challenge , designed to encourage developers to take on the challenge of creating innovative and exciting AI applications for use cases in data centers, workstations, laptops, games, robotics and more. program. One of the competition categories is for developers to build applications for PC using visual, speech or domain-optimized large language models (LLMs) that implement AI PC use cases and highlight their potential to improve user experience and efficiency. Applications for free hardware will close on January 31, 2024, Pacific Time.
