AMD has announced the Ryzen AI 300 series, a new lineup of AI-focused chips for the mobile market. The series revealed during AMD’s opening keynote at Computex 2024, is based on AMD’s new Zen 5 CPU microarchitecture and is designed to offer significant improvements in mobile SoC performance.
The Ryzen AI 300 series, codenamed Strix Point, incorporates AMD’s new Zen 5 CPU architecture, RDNA 3.5-based integrated graphics, and the third-generation XDNA2-based NPU. The latter is rated to deliver 50 TOPS of performance for AI-based workloads, making the Ryzen AI 300 series a major upgrade in AMD’s mobile chip lineup.
The first two Ryzen AI 300 SKUs designed for notebooks have been unveiled. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 features 12 Zen 5 cores with a maximum boost frequency of up to 5.1 GHz and comes equipped with a 36 MB cache. The Ryzen AI 9 365, on the other hand, has 10 Zen 5 cores, operates with a 5.0 GHz boost frequency, and has a 10 MB L2 + 24 MB L3 cache allocation.
AMD’s new focus on AI performance aligns with Microsoft’s Copilot+ AI PC program, which requires an NPU with at least 40 TOPS of performance. AMD’s third generation, XDNA2-based NPU, exceeds this requirement, achieving up to 50 TOPS.
