These chips are expected to be available in platforms from HP
and Lenovo starting in the second quarter of 2024, AMD said in a
press release.
AI-enabled PCs are capable of running large-language models and
apps powered by the technology directly on the device, instead
of the cloud.
AMD said its latest Ryzen PRO 8040 Series was built for
"business laptops and mobile workstations" while its AMD Ryzen
PRO 8000 Series was a desktop processor for business users.
Its shares were up more than 2% in early trading.
Experts have pinned a possible recovery in the PC market on the
introduction of AI PCs, as consumers look to upgrade their
systems with the new capabilities.
The advent of generative AI technology has led to towering
demand for advanced semiconductors that can be used to develop
and run complex AI programs.
In the market for AI PCs, AMD faces intense competition from
Intel and AI chip front-runner Nvidia, hailed as a leader for
graphics processing units (GPUs).
AMD introduced the Ryzen 8000G Series of desktop chips in
January, targeted towards the heavy workloads that come along
with AI-based tasks.
On the same day, Nvidia unveiled its own AI PC chips - the "GeForce
RTX SUPER" desktop GPUs - saying Acer, ASUS, Dell Technologies,
HP, Lenovo, and Samsung will release AI laptops featuring its
technology.
Intel also said in January it expects to "ship approximately 40
million AI PCs in 2024 alone".
