At the Advancing AI event, AMD CEO Lisa Su announced several important innovations for the corporate market. Among them are the new Ryzen AI Pro 300 processors, powerful Instinct MI325X AI accelerators, and EPYC 9005 server chips for data centers.
The Ryzen AI Pro 300 processors for corporate laptops are built on 4nm technology and are based on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. They offer up to 12 cores and clock speeds of up to 5.1 GHz. A standout feature of the new chips is the integration of the second-generation AI engine (NPU) based on the XDNA architecture, capable of performing up to 55 trillion operations per second (TOPS) in INT8 format. This makes them ideal for large language models (LLM) and other intensive corporate tasks.
AMD's new AI accelerators are also impressive. The Instinct MI325X will compete with Nvidia's solutions, offering performance of up to 9.2 petaflops in FP4 calculations. The next model, MI355X, scheduled for 2025, will feature 288 GB of HBM3e memory, surpassing competitors in several key areas.
For data centers, AMD introduced the new EPYC 9005 series of server processors. The Turin Classic models offer up to 128 cores, while Turin Dense supports up to 192 Zen 5c cores. These processors support DDR5-6400 and PCIe 5.0, delivering 17% more instructions per clock (IPC) compared to their predecessors. There’s also a significant performance boost in high-performance computing (HPC) and AI tasks.
Continuing to pressure Intel, AMD is making bold moves toward capturing 40% of the server processor market.
