AMD has unveiled the first Ryzen 8000 series, specifically the Ryzen 8040 for notebooks. The “Hawk Point” generation processors replace the Ryzen 7040 models and initially offer more AI functionality.
About a week before the launch of Intel’s new mobile CPU series, Meteor Lake, AMD announced the respective competing processors. Ryzen 8000 is mobile, more precisely Ryzen 8040 “Hawk Point” AMD’s second generation AI is marketed as a notebook processor. The manufacturer specifically emphasizes Up to 40 percent higher AI performance Compared to the Ryzen 7040 “Phoenix” – definitely a swipe at Intel Meteor Lake, where the focus is on AI.
More clock speed for NPU, still Zen 4 and RDNA 3
Apart from the advanced AI engine (XDNA NPU), Hawk Point again relies on Gen 4 and RDNA 3 architecture, which makes it a refresh Work AMD usually presents new generation processors at CES in January. The NPU’s AI performance is enhanced due to the higher clock speed From 10 to 16 tops The rest of the specifications of the increased CPUs remain essentially the same, which is why there are no generational performance comparisons except in the matter of AI.
The two processors are just a rebrand
Since Chips are almost unchanged Fast availability is guaranteed. AMD is already supplying partners with the Ryzen 8040 Notebook launched in the first quarter able to do. You will get new badges with Ryzen AI characters. The two CPUs don’t have “AI” on their stickers because the Ryzen 3 8440U and Ryzen 5 8540U don’t have an NPU on the chip – they’re a rebrand of the recently introduced Zen 4c model.
U processors operate with 15 to 30 watts, while HS processors operate with 20 to 30 watts or 35 to 54 watts, depending on the model. To take advantage of increased AI performance, AMD is expanding its collaboration with key companies Improve application support Apart from that for notebooks, Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Razer have been named as partners. The unveiling of new chips in the HX performance class (formerly: Dragon range) is not expected until 2024.
