AMD recently introduced its latest line of processors for Copilot+ PCs, the Ryzen AI Pro 300 series, specifically designed for business use. It’s worth noting that these chips differ from the Ryzen AI 300 series, which is targeted at personal computing devices.
These processors’ impressive Neural Processing Unit (NPU) performance is a key feature. The Ryzen AI 300 delivers up to 50 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second), while the Ryzen AI Pro 300 pushes that even further, reaching up to 55 TOPS. These capabilities highlight the processors’ strength in handling advanced AI tasks, making them suitable for business and AI-driven applications.
AMD’s Ryzen AI Pro 300 chips will arrive in 2025 to power Copilot+ PCs
We’ve already highlighted the impressive TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second) performance of AMD’s new Ryzen AI Pro 300 chips, but that’s not the only indicator of their strength in AI tasks. For comparison, the Snapdragon X Elite, which features 12 cores and achieves 35 TOPS, is a popular choice for laptops due to its solid performance.
Focusing on the Ryzen AI Pro 300 series, these processors have 12 Zen 5 cores and the advanced RDNA 3.5 GPU. There are a few standout models in this lineup, including the Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 475 with 12 cores, the slightly slower Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 370, and the more entry-level Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 with 8 cores. All of these models are specifically designed for high-performance laptops.
But there’s more to the story. According to reports from MSPowerUser, AMD anticipates that around 100 PCs featuring the Ryzen AI Pro chips will be launched by 2025, with major manufacturers like Lenovo and HP expected to adopt them. These processors will also come equipped with enhanced security features, such as memory encryption and secure boot, providing additional layers of protection for business users.
One interesting detail is that these chips are built on a 4 nm process, with a strong focus on energy efficiency. This means users can expect long-lasting battery life without compromising performance, even after extended use.
It’s important to note that these Ryzen AI Pro 300 processors are geared towards businesses, not personal users. Suppose you’re looking for a more affordable option. In that case, the 8-core Snapdragon chips might be a better choice, as they offer good performance at a lower cost, without significant power sacrifices—a practical option for personal use.
