The next generation of Ryzen processors for desktops is built on AMD’s Zen 5 microarchitecture.
AMD has a broad portfolio of GPUs, CPUs, architectures and networking products and recently joined a standard-building group intended to create standards for AI chip technology in opposition to rival NVIDIA. Its latest hardware, announced at Computex in Taipei on June 2, brings improved AI performance with products including the Ryzen 9000 series and the Ryzen AI 300 chip, which is a repackaging of the Ryzen 9 chips.AMD’s next desktop processors are the Ryzen 9000 series
The Zen 5 architecture and XDNA 2 NPU power the Ryzen 9000 series, which can be leveraged in desktops for productivity, content creation or gaming. The Ryzen 9000 series desktop processors will be available in July 2024.
The series consists of Ryzen 9 9950X, 9900X, 9700X and 9600X processors.
The Ryzen 9 9950X enhances performance on heavy-duty programs like Blender or Adobe tools with AI features and decreases latency in gaming; AMD claims it outperforms the Intel Core i9. Decreased latency comes in handy for AI in particular. Some models in this series show a marked decrease in heat output, with just 65W thermal design power in the Ryzen 7 9700 X and Ryzen 5 9600 X.AMD hardware will power AI PCs
AMD hardware will appear in a wide variety of upcoming laptops from partners including Microsoft, HP, Lenovo and Asus.
“They’re going to get to know you,” said AMD’s Donny Woligroski, senior technical marketing manager of consumer processors, in a press briefing, referring to AI PCs.
