Hey there, my tech-savvy followers! AMD has just announced its latest and greatest for AI workloads: the Ryzen AI 300 Series. These new processors are a re-brand of the Ryzen 9 chips, now with the HX suffix indicating top-tier performance, but without specifying power consumption.
The Ryzen AI 300 chips are packed with AMD’s latest architectures, including XDNA2 for the NPU, RDNA 3.5 for the iGPU, and Zen 5 for the CPU. The first two processors in this series, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Ryzen AI 9 365, boast impressive specs like a 50 TOPS NPU and up to 16 compute units in the iGPU.
Compared to other NPU-configured chips on the market, AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 300-series stands out with its high TOPS performance. With a focus on power efficiency and compute capacity, AMD claims its XDNA2 NPU can handle both INT8 and FP16 generative AI workloads without sacrificing accuracy.
Starting July 2024, you can expect to see Ryzen AI 300 processors in a variety of laptops from brands like Asus, HP, MSI, Lenovo, and more. These powerful chips will bring top-of-the-line AI capabilities to a range of devices, from productivity-focused laptops to gaming machines.
