AMD recently unveiled their Ryzen PRO series commercial processors, featuring cutting-edge technologies including Zen 4 for CPUs, RDNA 3 GPUs and XDNA NPUs. With 16 processors designed specifically for laptops (Ryzen PRO 8040) and desktops (Ryzen PRO 8000), built on AMD's 4nm manufacturing process and using AMD Pro technology - providing major upgrades in performance, power efficiency and AI capability as well as WiFi 7 standard compatibility and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity support - AMD promises that its Ryzen PRO series commercial processors offer significant advancement in terms of performance compared with competitors' offerings from other vendors'.
Ryzen PRO 8040 Series for Laptops
Ryzen PRO 8040 series for laptops targets two specific markets. The Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS processor from this series caters specifically to content creators and mobile workstation users with its 8 cores/16 threads clock speed range from 4.0-5GHz; these HS series processors excel at handling demanding tasks while still managing to reach power consumption ratings between 35W-54W.
For portable and energy-conscious PC enthusiasts alike, Ryzen U series processors may provide more energy-efficient options. Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U and Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U offer similar core counts and clock speeds as their HS counterparts but consume 15W to 28W less power; additionally the Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U stands out with no NPU unit included!
Ryzen PRO 8000 Series Desktop Processors
Ryzen PRO 8000 series desktop-oriented processors come in two variants for desktop-oriented use - G and GE. Both series feature Ryzen 7, 5, 3, processors; for maximum performance users may opt for processors such as Ryzen 7 PRO 8700G which offers 8 cores, 16 threads, clock speeds between 4.2-5.1GHz with power consumption levels ranging between 45W to 65W in this instance.
GE series processors offer an attractive compromise between performance and efficiency, featuring core counts similar to G series but at reduced power usage of 35W. Ryzen 5 PRO 8600GE stands as an example.
