AMD and Microsoft have announced a new collaboration to launch Copilot+ PCs equipped with Ryzen AI 300 processors.

Last spring, Microsoft announced that the Copilot+ PC platform will include a new generation of devices that use artificial intelligence capabilities to speed up all types of tasks. The platform debuted with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon ARM architecture, but it has been reported that will also include an x86 solution from Intel (Core Ultra 200) and from AMD with the new Ryzens. And after the official presentation at Computex, they are here at the biggest European trade fair.

These systems are designed to Integrate advanced artificial intelligence capabilities into personal computers and aim to improve productivity, creativity and collaboration across industries, said Pavan Davuluri, corporate vice president of Windows + Devices at Microsoft, expressing his excitement about partnering with AMD to expand the availability of Copilot+ PCs with AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processors . “This collaboration with AMD is an important step in delivering high-performance Windows PCs with advanced artificial intelligence features, longer battery life and an overall better user experience.”explains the manager.

The possibilities of using this technology are diverse. Software developers can achieve greater efficiency in their workflows, while professionals in fields such as accounting and law can automate previously time-consuming tasks. Multimedia production teams could also benefit from the ability to make real-time edits on the fly without relying on traditional workstations.

Ryzen AI 300, the best CPU for Copilot+ PC?

On paper, AMD has every chance to succeed on Microsoft’s Copilot platform when it comes to raw performance. For starters, its new processors are equipped with third-generation Neural Processing Units (NPUs), which, based on the XDNA 2 architecture, offer up to 5 times more computing capacity and twice the energy efficiency of the original version. In specific numbers, AMD promises 50 TOP AI performancea big improvement over Ryzen 8040’s 16 TOPS and higher than what Qualcomm (45 TOPS) or Intel (40 TOPS) achieved.

In addition to AI potential, Ryzen AI 300 has other notable components such as CPU Zen 5 which come with a double-digit performance improvement compared to the Zen 4. The same can be said for the graphics part, as the series will be able to equip up to Radeon 890M with up to 16 RDNA 3.5 computing units. The data, always from AMD, says that they beat Intel (and of course Qualcomm) by a large margin in the gaming section.

AMD says more than 100 computers have been developed with its Ryzen AI 300 chips. Immediate deployment is expected through all of its hardware partners, ASUS, MSI, Dell, Acer, HP or Lenovo.
