The Ryzen Pro processors are not just standard consumer-focused processors. They are tailored to the unique needs of the business world, making them a standout choice. In fact, AMD‘s consumer-focused processors are the first x86 company to introduce an artificial intelligence unit (NPU) to the mobile and desktop PC market, a feature that sets them apart.
According to the company, AMD’s built-in XNDA NPU engine gives its mobile processors a 16 TOPS NPU performance advantage over Intel’s rival Core Ultra processors. They also say they are ahead of Intel in overall system TOPS, including CPU and GPU AI processing power.
AMD’s new Ryzen Pro series processors are not just another option. They deliver a dramatic performance boost, with an average performance increase of 19% compared to Intel’s rival Core i7-14700. This, combined with the Zen 4 CPU’s powerful RDNA 3 graphics engine, gives users a powerful and efficient experience.
AMD’s Ryzen Pro series processors excel in performance and energy efficiency. They claim between 33% and 76% less power consumption in different configurations, a significant advantage that ensures a more sustainable and efficient user experience.
These results demonstrate AMD’s technology leadership and ability to deliver innovative solutions consistently. The Ryzen Pro series meets business needs and sets itself apart from the competition regarding performance and energy efficiency. This makes AMD more competitive and better positioned to meet users’ expectations.
AMD and Intel processors are not yet suitable for Microsoft’s next-generation AI computing requirement, but both companies claim they will meet it. Natively operated AI helps alleviate privacy concerns in commercial space and offers AI applications latency, performance, and battery life benefits.
As a result, AMD’s Ryzen Pro portfolio offers powerful processor options for commercial users with additional benefits such as AI acceleration features and security solutions. This strengthens AMD’s presence by providing widely available and competitive performance from workstations to desktops. Designed to meet the needs of the business world, this new lineup demonstrates AMD’s innovative approach and commitment to technology.
