AMD launches Ryzen AI PRO 300 series commercial processors to power the next generation of commercial AI PCs

In June this year, AMD officially launched the Ryzen AI 300 series processors. In addition to adopting a new name, it introduced the Zen 5 CPU architecture, RDNA 3.5 GPU architecture and XDNA 2 NPU architecture for the first time, and installed them on new notebook products. Its excellent performance and outstanding energy efficiency are impressive.

On October 11, AMD once again launched the Ryzen AI PRO 300 series processors for commercial products, including a Ryzen 7 and two Ryzen 9 new products, a total of 3 models. All 3 processors are equipped with Ryzen AI technology, including AMD Zen 5 CPU architecture, RDNA 3.5 architecture GPU, and XDNA 2 architecture NPU. At the same time, the support of the new generation of AMD PRO technology has significantly upgraded their performance, AI computing power and security.

In terms of specifications, in addition to the above-mentioned architecture upgrades, the Ryzen AI PRO 300 series processors have also improved the following points compared to the previous generation Ryzen PRO 8040 series processors. For example, the CPU core has been increased from 8 cores to a maximum of 12 cores, the GPU computing unit has been increased from 12CUs to 16CUs, the NPU computing power has been increased from 16TOPs to 50-55TOPs, and the cache size has been increased from 24MB to 36MB. The specific specifications are as follows:

Ryzen AI PR0 300 Series

• Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360: 8 cores and 16 threads, maximum acceleration frequency of 5.0GHz, 24MB cache, 50TOPS computing power, 15-54W power consumption;

• Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370: 12 cores and 24 threads, maximum acceleration frequency of 5.1GHz, 36MB cache, 50TOPS computing power, 15-54W power consumption;

• Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375: 12 cores and 24 threads, maximum acceleration frequency of 5.1GHz, 36MB cache, 55TOPS computing power, 15-54W power consumption;

As you can see, the AI ​​in the name of the Ryzen AI PRO 300 series processors is one of the core features of this upgrade. AMD said that the Ryzen PRO 7040 series processors released in 2023 have 10 TOPS of NPU AI computing power for the first generation of commercial AI PCs; the Ryzen PRO 8040 series processors released in April 2024 have 16 TOPS of NPU AI computing power for the second generation of commercial AI PCs;

The next generation (third generation) commercial AI PCs will be equipped with Ryzen AI PRO 300 series processors, which have an NPU computing power of 50-55 TOPS. The AI ​​performance is at least 5 times higher than the Ryzen PRO 7040 series, and more than 3 times higher than the Ryzen PRO 8040. Therefore, the AI ​​experience of commercial AI PCs will also take a qualitative leap.

AMD is also working with Microsoft to create the next generation of commercial AI PC experiences, including:

• The fastest and smartest Windows PC hardware;

• A new generation of AI chips with a computing power of up to 50-55TOPS;

• Professional AI large model tool that can easily perform functions that other commercial PCs cannot do;

• All-day battery life;

With the powerful Ryzen AI PRO 300 series processors, it can not only provide an AI assistant, but also fully call on the rich AI functions in the system to improve efficiency, such as backtracking function, real-time subtitles and real-time translation functions in meetings and online videos, AI stylized graphics and literary graphics, etc.

In terms of performance, AMD has directly compared Intel Core Ultra system processors, including:

• AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 has up to 30% better CPU performance than Intel Core Ultra 7 165U;

• AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 375 has a CPU performance lead of up to 40% over Intel Core Ultra 7 165H;

• AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 leads Intel Core Ultra 7 165U in Office 365 UL Procyon by 9%;

• AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 375 leads Intel Core Ultra 7 165H in Office 365 UL Procyon by 14%;

At the same time, AMD also stated that it will continue to deepen its cooperation with a number of software and hardware partners to launch more practical AMD Ryzen AI Software tools; AMD PRO technology will also continue to upgrade OEM system-level security features from chips to the cloud for enterprise users, based on artificial intelligence and anti-phishing protection functions, to facilitate enterprise users to deploy and manage more efficiently and with more confidence.
