AMD Ryzen XDNA AI tech demoed on laptops at Computex 2023
With the new technology, Team Red is gearing up to prepare the operating system and the software ecosystem for carrying out AI related tasks locally on the PC. Ryzen XDNA AI engine was found running on an ASUS Strix Scar 17 gaming laptop that was also equipped with the Eyzen 9 7940HS SoC and the Radeon 780M graphics. The XDNA AI engine is basically a dedicated accelerator that resides on the die with the CPU cores.
As the name suggests, this tech will seek to execute AI interference based workloads such as audio, video, and photo processing. These are typically lower intensity tasks but with the new AI engine, it is more energy efficient than using the CPU or GPU. In other words, this will help boost performance while also saving battery life. During the Computex 2023 event, the XDNA AI engine was spotted working on facial recognition tasks.
The engine can handle up to 4 concurrent AI streams and also supports INT8 and bfloat16 instructions. AMD also claims that XDNA AI is faster than the neural engine present on the Apple M2 processors. We can expect to see this technology makes it way across a number of its future products. So stick around for more.
