AMD Unveils AI Chips for Business Laptops and Desktops
AMD has unveiled a new series of semiconductors for AI-enabled business laptops and desktops. The chips will be available in platforms from HP and Lenovo starting in Q2 2024. AI-enabled PCs can run large-language models and apps directly on the device, without relying on cloud processing.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has announced the launch of a new series of semiconductors designed for AI-enabled business laptops and desktops. The chip designer aims to expand its presence in the lucrative "AI PC" market with these innovative chips.
According to a press release from AMD, the new chips will be available in platforms from HP and Lenovo starting in the second quarter of 2024. These AI-enabled PCs will have the capability to run large-language models and apps powered by AI technology directly on the device, eliminating the need for cloud-based processing.
The Ryzen PRO 8040 Series, designed for business laptops and mobile workstations, and the Ryzen PRO 8000 Series, a desktop processor for business users, are the latest additions to AMD's lineup. The company expects these chips to meet the growing demand for advanced semiconductors that can support the development and execution of complex AI programs.
The introduction of AI PCs is seen as a potential catalyst for the recovery of the PC market. Consumers are increasingly looking to upgrade their systems to take advantage of the new capabilities offered by AI technology. With the ability to handle AI workloads efficiently, these new chips from AMD are poised to attract attention from businesses and individuals alike.
However, AMD faces stiff competition in the AI PC market. Intel, a major player in the semiconductor industry, and Nvidia, a leader in graphics processing units (GPUs) and AI chips, are both vying for dominance in this space. The competition is fierce, as all three companies strive to capture a significant share of the growing market.
In January, AMD introduced the Ryzen 8000G Series of desktop chips, specifically targeting heavy workloads associated with AI-based tasks. On the same day, Nvidia unveiled its own AI PC chips, the "GeForce RTX SUPER" desktop GPUs, which will be featured in AI laptops from Acer, ASUS, Dell Technologies, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung.
Intel also made its intentions clear, stating that it expects to ship approximately 40 million AI PCs in 2024 alone. The race to capture the AI PC market is heating up, with each company striving to offer the best performance and capabilities to meet the demands of businesses and consumers.
As the AI revolution continues to reshape industries and drive innovation, the introduction of AI chips for business laptops and desktops marks another significant milestone. With AMD's latest offerings, businesses and individuals can expect enhanced AI capabilities and improved performance in their computing devices.
In early trading, AMD's shares rose by more than 2%, reflecting the positive market sentiment surrounding the company's foray into the AI PC market.
