AMD recently introduced the Ryzen AI Pro 300 processors, an innovative addition to its range aimed at the corporate world. These processors, which are already available on the market, share the same computing capabilities as their consumer counterparts, including the presence of integrated neural processing units (NPUs), all of which meet the needs of the Copilot+ PC. The new range consists of three models, including the Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 375, a high-end mobile processor. This model is equipped with 12 cores and 24 threads, reaching a maximum frequency of 5.1 GHz and with an integrated Radeon 890M GPU. The main difference from the Ryzen AI HX Pro 370 model lies in one feature, but both processors are very similar in terms of performance.

Key points:

  •  AMD launches the new Ryzen AI Pro 300 series of processors for the enterprise sector.
  •  The new models offer advanced performance and support for enterprise technologies.
  •  Zen 5 architecture with integrated RDNA 3.5 GPUs and NPUs.
  •  Enhanced security and device management through dedicated services.


The NPU of the Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 375 is capable of an impressive 55 TOPS processing capacity, while the intermediate model, the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360, offers an NPU with 50 TOPS performance. The latter, however, features a reduced number of cores, with 8 cores and 16 threads, and a maximum frequency of 5.0 GHz, flanked by a Radeon 880M GPU. Compared with the previous generation Ryzen 8000, the new processors feature the Zen 5 architecture, which allows for an increase in the maximum number of cores from 8 to 12 and the implementation of a more powerful GPU based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture. Despite these improvements, power consumption values remain unchanged, with TDP ranging from 15 to 54 W, thanks in part to the 4-nanometer manufacturing process.

The performance of the Ryzen AI Pros was tested by AMD, highlighting that the Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 375 outperforms the Core Ultra 7 vPro/standard 165H by 40 percent in the Cinebench R24 multithread benchmark, while in the office environment the difference is around 14 percent. The Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 also demonstrates superior performance, with a 30% increase over Cinebench R24 and 9% increase in productivity over the Core Ultra 7 165U vPro/standard. The Ryzen Pro designation also implies a host of dedicated services and technologies for businesses, including enterprise-level device management tools, Pro Business Ready upgrades, and security solutions such as AMD Memory Guard for data protection. One of the new features is Cloud Bare Metal Recovery (cBMR) technology, which enables remote recovery of systems.

In addition, security services now include tracking of AMD SoCs through Supply Chain Security authentication, with processor functionality enhancements supported by Watch Dog Timer technology designed to identify and reactivate stalled processes. Through collaboration with ISV partners, Ryzen Pro processor customers can also access advanced artificial intelligence-based features such as Bufferzone, which deals with protecting against phishing attacks without compromising connectivity, and Dynamo AI, focused on managing generative AI issues.

These developments represent a major step forward for AMD in providing comprehensive solutions for the enterprise sector.
