AMD continues to push its AI story this year with the introduction of its Ryzen Pro 8000 series of processors. This is the natural cadence that AMD has when it releases its newest processors: at the beginning of the year for consumer laptops and then a few months later with the commercial Pro series of products that include enhanced security and manageability features for enterprise use.
However, one major difference with the Ryzen Pro 8000G/E series is that the lower-end parts do not have an NPU for efficient AI execution. This means that AMD is continuing to propagate the mistake it made with the consumer 8000G series in these commercial parts. I believe that this mistake will create confusion among the enterprise IT decision makers looking at AMD’s lineup, and that it will impede AMD’s installation of base AI processors in commercial desktops.
AMD has partnered with Qualcomm for Wi-Fi 7 connectivity on the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 with Ryzen Pro 8040. The company also partnered with MediaTek on two HP systems that have Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. In all, across HP and Lenovo alone, there are 11 systems launching with Ryzen Pro 8000 series processors.AMD has fielded a competitive lineup with its Ryzen Pro 8000 series of processors, especially on the notebook side, where all of its SKUs offer an NPU for AI compute as a standard feature.
