Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) introduced its new Ryzen PRO 7040 Series Mobile processors.
The company added that the processors bring advanced 'Zen 4' performance and a dedicated Ryzen AI engine to select Windows 11 business laptops.
AMD also announced the Ryzen PRO 7000 Series processors for desktop, bringing the 'Zen 4' and AMD RDNA 2 integrated graphics to professional desktop users.
"The new Ryzen PRO 7040 Series pairs incredible performance and battery life to meet the needs of todayâs workforce, while also offering a new dedicated AI engine on select models, to help meet the demands of the AI transformation," said Matthew Unangst, senior director, commercial client and workstation, AMD.
Meanwhile, AMD is expected to reveal new details about an AI "superchip" which analysts think will be a challenger to Nvidia's (NASDAQ:NVDA) chips, according to a report from Reuters.
AMD CEO Lisa Su is expected to give a keynote address at an event in San Francisco related to data center and AI markets. Analysts anticipate new details about a chip known as MI300, the company's most advanced graphics processing unit (GPU). It is a type of chip which companies such as OpenAI use to develop products like ChatGPT, the report added.
In AMD's Q1 earnings call in May, Su had said that specifications on MI300 would come in the coming quarters. "MI300 is the first solution that has both the CPU and GPU together, and that has been very positive for the supercomputing market," Su noted.
