AMD has announced its third generation of commercial AI mobile processors aimed at enhancing business productivity. These new processors come with Copilot+ features, including live captioning, language translation for conference calls, and advanced AI image generation capabilities.
Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series Processors
The Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series processors deliver up to three times the AI performance compared to the previous generation, ensuring strong performance for everyday tasks.
With AMD PRO Technologies, these processors offer robust security and management capabilities, designed to streamline IT operations and enhance ROI for businesses.
These processors utilize the latest AMD “Zen 5” architecture, providing impressive CPU performance and positioning themselves as the top choice for Copilot+ enterprise PCs.
The flagship model, Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375, offers up to 40% better performance and 14% faster productivity than Intel’s Core Ultra 7 165U.
Equipped with XDNA 2 architecture, the Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series processors deliver over 50 TOPS (trillions of operations per second) of AI processing power, exceeding the requirements set by Microsoft’s Copilot+ and providing exceptional AI and productivity capabilities.
Built on a 4nm process, these processors also feature advanced power management for extended battery life, making them ideal for on-the-go performance.
Technical Specifications
The Ryzen AI Pro 300 series processors share architecture with the Ryzen 9000 desktop family, resulting in enhanced performance and battery life.
They feature up to 50% more cores, efficient cooling without extensive thermal solutions, and significantly increased AI capabilities—up to five times better than comparable Intel chips.
The lineup includes a 55 TOPS NPU, a Zen 5 CPU with up to 12 cores and 24 threads, and an RDNA 3.5 GPU. These processors are designed for Microsoft Copilot+ PCs, providing advanced features like real-time translation and collaborative image creation, all while maintaining all-day battery life.
The Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 375 features 12 cores, 24 threads, and a boost speed of 5.1 GHz, along with 36 MB of cache and support for 55 TOPS via its integrated NPU. Compared to the previous generation, this model has more cores, enhanced NPUs, and improved power efficiency.
Performance and Security
AMD compared its processors with Intel’s Core Ultra 100 series chips, highlighting a 40% speed advantage for the Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 375 over the Intel Core Ultra 7 vPro 165H. Although these comparisons are based on previous Intel generations, they illustrate AMD’s advancements in performance.
Security remains a priority, with AMD introducing new features to meet modern device standards. Cloud Bare Metal Recovery (cBMR) ensures recovery capabilities even before the OS loads, while Supply Chain Security authenticates AMD SoCs. Additional enhancements, like the Watch Dog Timer, improve system resilience.
Expanding the OEM Ecosystem
AMD continues to grow its OEM partnerships, expanding commercial offerings with PCs powered by the Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series. These systems are expected to hit the shelves later this year, providing businesses with enhanced local AI processing capabilities through Microsoft Copilot+.
- Pavan Davuluri, Corporate Vice President of Windows + Devices at Microsoft, stated that the integration of Ryzen AI PRO processors into Copilot+ PCs highlights their shared commitment to delivering impactful AI experiences, enhancing productivity, efficiency, and security.
- Alex Cho, President of Personal Systems at HP, noted their aim to provide powerful innovation through the HP EliteBook X Next-Gen AI PC.
- Meanwhile, Luca Rossi, President of Lenovo Intelligent Devices Group, emphasized the AI computing power and enhanced security of their ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 AMD.
New PRO Technologies Features
AMD has expanded its PRO Technologies, introducing features such as Cloud Bare Metal Recovery for seamless system recovery, Supply Chain Security for enhanced traceability, and AI-based malware detection in collaboration with select ISV partners. These features leverage the integrated NPU to perform security tasks without compromising performance.
Speaking about the launch, Jack Huynh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Computing and Graphics Group at AMD, said,
Enterprises are increasingly demanding greater compute power and efficiency to manage their daily tasks and most challenging workloads. We are thrilled to introduce the Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series, the most powerful AI processor designed for business PCs, into our portfolio of mobile processors. Our third-generation AI-enabled processors for business PCs offer unmatched AI processing capabilities, exceptional battery life, and seamless compatibility with the applications users rely on.
