AMD Announces Ryzen PRO 8840 & PRO 8000G Series CPUs

Following the launch of the Ryzen 8000G series processors earlier this year as well as the Ryzen 8840 series mobile processors, AMD has now announced the associated 'PRO' parts for business customers. The new parts are much the same as the associated non-PRO parts albeit now having AMD PRO Technologies, similar to prior PRO processors. Much of AMD's emphasis was on an AI focus with the Ryzen PRO 8000G being the first business-focused desktop processors with an NPU and the Ryzen PRO 8840 mobile processors having upgraded Ryzen AI (NPU) capabilities compared to the Ryzen PRO 7840 series. The press pre-briefing was understandably very Microsoft Windows focused.

So much of the software talk isn't 1:1 for Linux customers, but at least earlier this year AMD did publish an XDNA Linux driver for Ryzen AI support.
