AMD unveils Ryzen Pro 8000-series processors


AMD is the first with a Pro desktop PC chip with an NPU for AI workloads.

Those same AI acceleration features are now headed to commercial users, allowing AMD to lay claim to being the first with professional CPUs armed with NPUs for laptops and workstations. The U-series processors slot in for the 15-28W TDP range, while the HS variants are carved into 20-28W and 35-54W swimlanes spanning the Ryzen 9, 7, and 5 product lines, with the 45W models geared for workstations. AMD also says its 45W Ryzen 9 Pro 8945HS for workstations delivers a 50%+ advantage in the Topaz Labs AI-powered video application over the 45W Intel Core Ultra 9 185H and up to 77% faster time to the first token with the Llama 2 LLM.
