AMD has unveiled new processors, ahead of CES 2025, furthering its expansion in the AI PC market. AMD announced the new Ryzen AI Max Series processors, exceeding demands for high-performance computing in premium thin and light notebooks; new Ryzen AI 300 Series “Zen-5”-based processors; and to continue the legacy of AMD “Zen 4” architecture, AMD also announced Ryzen 200 Series processors for everyday productivity.
AMD also expanded its commercial AI PC lineup integrating AMD PRO Technologies into the Ryzen AI Max, Ryzen AI 300 and Ryzen AI 200 Series processors. Ryzen PRO Series processors feature enterprise-grade security and manageability tools.
“As consumers and professionals increasingly recognize the productivity benefits of AI PCs, AMD is further increasing its performance leadership in the market,” says Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager, Computing and Graphics Group, AMD. “With the next generation of AI-enabled processors, we are proliferating AI to devices everywhere, and bringing the power of a workstation to thin and light laptops.”
The new Ryzen AI Max Series processors offer power and performance for gamers, creators and everyday users. With workstation-level performance, the Ryzen AI Max processors offer up to 16 “Zen 5” CPU cores, up to 40 AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics compute units, and an AMD XDNA 2 Neural Processing Unit (NPU) with up to 50 TOPS of AI processing ability1—all in portable form factors for optimum mobility.
The new Ryzen AI Max PRO Series processors enable users to work with large engineering and architectural models and to tackle complex, AI-accelerated workloads. They are equipped with AMD PRO Technologies.
Systems powered by Ryzen AI Max and Ryzen AI Max PRO Series Processors are expected to be available starting in Q1 2025.
AMD is introducing Ryzen AI 300 Series processors to enable premium AI experiences across notebooks. The new Ryzen AI 300 Series processors, feature up to 8 “Zen 5” CPU cores and the latest RDNA 3.5 graphics architecture. With a NPU powered by AMD XDNA 2 technology, Ryzen AI 300 Series processors provide up to five times better performance than the first generation NPU, for more AI power.
For everyday business productivity, the new Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 and Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 processors are designed to support the next generation of Microsoft Copilot+ experiences. With a peak 50+ NPU TOPS of AI performance, commercial systems powered by Ryzen AI 300 PRO Series processors offer enterprise systems with the compute power to support the shift to an AI-enabled workforce. With AMD PRO Technologies, Ryzen AI 300 PRO Series processors deliver security and manageability features.
With the AMD Ryzen 200 Series processors, AMD is bringing the capability of “Zen 4” into the FP8 platform infrastructure . Ryzen 200 PRO Series mobile processors are designed to offer efficient performance for everyday professionals. With up to eight CPU cores and 16 threads, AMD RDNA 3 graphics and up to 16 NPU TOPS, the Ryzen 200 Series processors offer AI processing capabilities for essential applications, and sustained performance and battery life for uninterrupted use.
