AMD And The Vision For AI Processors
The senior leadership’s presentations on the company’s new Artificial Intelligence chips for laptops and desktops placed AI at the forefront. However, the experienced chip maker also reminded us that computer speed is important in the age of NPUs. These outperform traditional CPUs and are specifically built to handle Artificial Intelligence jobs.
During the occasion, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. provided technical information about the new Ryzen AI 300 Series chips and Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs, which will power the next generation of laptops and desktops.
AMD unveiled two Ryzen AI 300 mobile APUs, each having the same NPU with 50 TOPS but with differing specifications. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is the flagship processor, featuring 12 cores and 24 threads. AMD has provided additional information about the Ryzen 9000 desktop CPU, claiming that the Ryzen 9 9950X is the fastest desktop CPU available.
The new CPUs will be manufactured using a mix of 4 nm and 3 nm technologies. They are billed as the “world’s most powerful NPU” with 50 TOPS of power for local AI acceleration. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus processors achieved 45 TOPS, while Intel’s next-generation “Lunar Lake” processors are also predicted to reach 45 TOPS. This is critical for Windows 11’s Copilot Plus features, which require an NPU with at least 40 TOPS.
