AMD Leaked: Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series Launch Set for October
At COMPUTEX 2024, AMD unveiled the groundbreaking Zen 5 architecture, introducing new consumer processors featuring this architecture. These include the desktop Ryzen 9000 series and the mobile-focused Ryzen AI 300 series processors, both rumored to be available within this month.
Recently, it has been revealed that AMD plans to release the new Ryzen AI PRO 300 series processors in October, merely six months after the launch of the Ryzen PRO 8000 series in April this year. Earlier, traces of the new Ryzen PRO models had already appeared in leaked shipping lists, and the latest rumors corroborate this information.
Similar to the consumer-oriented Ryzen AI 300 series, the Ryzen AI PRO 300 series, codenamed “Strix Point,” initially offers two products: the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 and Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360. AMD might be accelerating the introduction of AI-supporting processors in the commercial sector to capture more enterprise users and seize the burgeoning AI PC market.
Notably, the AMD Ryzen AI PRO 300 series includes Ryzen 7-level models, featuring a Zen 5 x4 + Zen 5c x8 combination, with a core count even surpassing the consumer Ryzen AI 9 365’s Zen 5 x4 + Zen 5c x6 configuration. However, the naming convention of the new Ryzen PRO products is rather cumbersome. The consumer models already have lengthy names, and adding “PRO” further complicates the naming scheme; perhaps the model lengths should be moderated.
