Advanced Micro Devices believes it can become a major player in the AI chip space.
On Wednesday,
AMD
announced its new lineup of laptop processors called the Ryzen 8040 Series that are designed to boost the performance of artificial intelligence applications by up to 60% versus prior models.
“The increased AI capabilities of the 8040 series will now handle larger models to enable the next phase of AI user experiences,” AMD executive Jack Huynh said in a press release.
Computers with the 8040 chips will be available from leading PC makers, including
Acer,
Asus, Dell,
HP,
Lenovo, and Razer starting in the first quarter of next year.
The chip maker also said its widely anticipated Instinct MI300X accelerators were now available for sale to data-center customers and server makers. The MI300X is AMD’s answer to
Nvidia’s
AI data center chips.
AMD says its latest MI300X products can outperform the Nvidia H100 HGX by up to 60% for certain AI model inference workloads. The company said
Meta
is adding the MI300X to its data centers to power inferencing of some AI models.
“AMD Instinct MI300 Series accelerators are designed with our most advanced technologies, delivering leadership performance, and will be in large scale cloud and enterprise deployments,” AMD president Victor Peng said in a news release.
During its earnings call in October, AMD CEO Lisa Su said the company expects data center GPU products to generate about $400 million in revenue for the fourth quarter and surpass $2 billion in 2024.
