New processors for the new workloads arising from a new normal.
COVID-19, along with the associated lockdowns and working/learning from home has changed pretty much everything. Including processors. Today sees AMD unveil new Ryzen PRO 5000 Series mobile processors, and the chipmaker is pitching them at professionals who are spending more time in front of notebooks running Zoom and apps from office suites. According to information supplied by AMD, there’s been a massive growth in commercial notebooks, showing a 3x growth in platform designs, and more than double share growth since 2018. Some of that driven by a shift away from desktops, but a lot has also been driven by COVID.
