AMD just announced its next-gen laptop processors, and this time, it went all-in on AI.
The pressure is on at Computex this year. With the May announcement of Copilot+ PCs and Microsoft’s deep partnership with Qualcomm, the stakes were high for AMD coming into the show. But the company certainly didn’t show up empty-handed.
Its announcements have all centered around Zen 5, the company’s latest architecture, both on desktop and mobile. But at the moment, these mobile chips feels especially noteworthy in light of Copilot+. AMD calls it the Ryzen AI 300 series. It’s a complete rebrand for AMD, not unlike Intel’s move to “Core Ultra” in its most recent generation. But this time, it’s all about AI.
The new mobile CPUs promise to deliver huge performance uplifts that will help them compete against Intel, Apple, and Qualcomm. The two chips that fall under the new branding are the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and the Ryzen AI 9 365. Both processors appear to be very similar, and they both mark a major upgrade over AMD’s previous ventures into the world of AI.
