american chip design corp. Advanced Micro Devices The company on Tuesday unveiled new processors to power artificial intelligence-enabled PCs as it seeks to gain a lead against rivals in the field of artificial intelligence-powered PCs. Nvidia and Intel.
AI computers are personal computers equipped with processors designed to perform artificial intelligence tasks such as on-the-fly language translation and summarization.
AMD calls it the most powerful chip in commercial PCs to date, saying that both the Ryzen Pro 8040 series processors for laptops and the Ryzen Pro 8000 series processors for desktops are built with advanced 4nm technology.
AMD said in a press release on Tuesday that these processors are expected to support PC models from brands such as HP and Lenovo starting in the second quarter of 2024.
These new AMD chips will compete with chips from Nvidia and Intel designed specifically for AI PCs.
Like Nvidia, AMD doesn’t make its own chips.Instead, it outsources the manufacturing of its chips to semiconductor foundries, primarily the world’s largest contract chip manufacturers British Semiconductor.
TSMC currently produces 3nm wafers and plans to begin mass production of 2nm wafers in 2025.
in January, AMD releases next-generation Ryzen 8000G series desktop processors They deliver massive power and dominant performance for intensive workloads including gaming and content creation. The 8000G series is built on the 4nm process.
AMD and Intel see AI PCs as a new era for the industry. Last year, artificial intelligence flourished after the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022.
U.S. consulting firm Gartner estimates AI PC shipments will account for 22% of total PC shipments By 2024.
“The rapid adoption of GenAI capabilities and AI processors on devices will eventually become a standard requirement for technology vendors,” said Ranjit Atwal, senior director analyst at Gartner.
However, this could create challenges for suppliers, as they will face difficulty “differentiating themselves from competitors” and increasing revenue, Atwal said.
