AMD has officially launched its new Ryzen AI PRO 300 seriescommercial processors, based on the Strix Point chip and featuring a 4nm Zen5 architecture. This new series, announced at AMD’s Advancing AI2024 event, boasts significant upgrades in both CPU and GPU core counts compared to its predecessor, the Ryzen PRO 8040 series.
The Ryzen AI PRO 300 series packs up to 12 Zen5 cores, a significant jump from the maximum 8 Zen4 cores found in the Ryzen PRO 8040 series. Notably, these 12cores are comprised of a mix of 4 full-fledged Zen5 cores and 8 Zen5c cores, designed for efficiency.
Beyond the CPU, AMD has also boosted the GPU capabilities. The new series integrates up to 16 RDNA3.5 compute units (CUs), compared to the maximum 12 RDNA3 CUs in the previous generation. This upgrade translates to improved graphics performance for demanding tasks like video editing and 3D modeling.
AMD has also significantly enhanced the AI capabilities of the Ryzen AI PRO300 series. The integrated XDNA NPU has been upgraded to version 2, delivering a remarkable 55 TOPS (Int8) of AI processing power, a significant leap from the 16 TOPS offered by the Hawk Point chip. This translates to faster and more efficient AI workloads, particularly inareas like machine learning and natural language processing.
Performance benchmarks show impressive gains over previous generations and Intel competitors. AMD claims that the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 delivers a 9% performance improvement over the Intel Core Ultra 7 165U, while the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 boasts a 14% speed advantage over the Core Ultra 7 165H.
This new series is expected to be a game-changer for businesses seeking powerful and efficient processors for demanding workloads. The combination of Zen5 architecture, enhanced GPU capabilities, and boosted AI performance makes the Ryzen AI PRO300 series a compelling choice for a wide range of commercial applications.
