AMD has announced its latest Ryzen AI PRO 300 "Strix" APUs, delivering the next-gen "PRO" experience with up to 55 AI TOPS.
AMD Offers The Fastest NPU On The Planet Rated at 55 AI TOPS With Its Ryzen AI 300 PRO "Strix" APUs
The AMD Ryzen AI PRO 300 "Strix" APU lineup is designed for the enterprise and professional PC segment. These APUs offer the biggest upgrade since the Ryzen PRO 7040 "Phoenix" series since Ryzen PRO 8040 "Hawk" was more or less a soft refresh of the former lineup. With Strix Pro, you get a range of new capabilities powered by Zen 5 CPU cores, RDNA 3.5 GPU cores and the fastest NPU on the market.
The AMD Ryzen AI PRO 300 "Strix" APUs are Copilot+ certified and are packed with AMD's PRO technologies but before that, let's talk about the high-level features. Strix Pro will be offering a boost to CPU capabilities with 50% more cores, a 33% increase in GPU compute units, and a 5x uplift to AI performance.
The lineup includes a total of three SKUs which will be featured on a range of OEM platforms. These include the top Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 which features 12 cores, 24 threads, a peak boost clock of 5.1 GHz, 36 MB of cache, 55 TOPS (NPU), and the Radeon 890M iGPU with 16 compute units. The Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 is very similarly configured and the only difference is the NPU which is tuned for 50 AI TOPS, which still makes it one of the fastest on the market.
Lastly, there's the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 APU which comes packed with 8 cores, 16 threads, 24 MB of cache, a boost clock of up to 5.0 GHz, the same 50 NPU TOPS, and is equipped with the Radeon 880M iGPU with 12 compute units. The 50-55 TOPS NPU makes the Ryzen AI PRO 300 series the world's first Copilot+ certified PC platform for the enterprise segment.
