AMD has announced a range of new Ryzen PRO series commercial processors built on a cutting-edge combination of architectures: Zen 4 for CPUs, RDNA 3 for GPUs, and XDNA for NPUs. The lineup caters to both laptops (Ryzen PRO 8040) and desktops (Ryzen PRO 8000), offering a total of 16 processors.

These Processors are riding on AMD’s 4nm manufacturing process and AMD Pro tech

These processors boast significant improvements in performance, power consumption, and AI capabilities. The 4nm manufacturing process and integration of AMD PRO technology contribute to these advancements. Additionally, they support the latest WiFi 7 standard and Bluetooth 5.4 for enhanced connectivity.

The Ryzen PRO 8040 series for laptops is designed to meet the needs of two distinct markets. The HS series caters to content creators and mobile workstation users, offering powerful processors like the Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a 4.0-5.2GHz clock speed. These HS series processors are capable of handling demanding tasks but come with a higher power consumption rating ranging from 35W to 54W.

If portability is a priority, the U series offers a more energy-efficient option. Processors like the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U and Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U boast similar core counts and clock speeds as the HS series but have a lower power consumption rating of 15W to 28W. The unique offering in the U series is the Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U, which lacks an NPU unit.

The desktop-focused Ryzen PRO 8000 series comes in two variants: G and GE. Both G and GE series offer Ryzen 7, 5, and 3 processors. Users prioritizing raw performance can opt for the G series, which offers processors like the Ryzen 7 PRO 8700G with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a clock speed of 4.2-5.1GHz. However, the G series comes with a higher power consumption rating of 45W to 65W.

For those seeking a balance between performance and efficiency, the GE series offers a compelling option. These processors, like the Ryzen 5 PRO 8600GE, maintain a similar core count and clock speed as the G series but with a lower power consumption rating of 35W.
