AMD has announced new details of its Ryzen Pro 6000 Series laptop CPUs as well as the Ryzen Pro 5000 Series models, all of which are aimed at business users. This follows their initial introduction at CES 2022 with the standard Ryzen 6000 CPU for consumer laptops. The new Ryzen Pro 6000 Series CPUs are based on the ‘Gen 3+’ architecture and feature an integrated GPU built using the RDNA 2 architecture. Efficiency is a big push with this generation, which is manufactured on a 6nm process. AMD is touting all-day battery life and modern connectivity as well as manageability standards that should appeal to IT managers who now have to meet remote working requirements.
The new Ryzen Pro 6000 models are largely on par Ryzen 6000 Mobile CPU For mainstream laptops that have already announced, AMD says its “business-ready” CPUs are typically available to OEMs for 24 months with an 18-month software stability commitment, improved quality assurance and an ongoing verification process for stability. amd has worked with Microsoft to implement platform-level security capabilities, including: Microsoft Pluton Framework, OEM-level security measures can also be implemented, such as Lenovo’s ThinkShield and HP’s SureStart that allow recovery and manageability.
Himachal Pradesh And Lenovo are actually among AMD’s launch partners, such as Asus, acer And Ditch, Lenovo has announced its ThinkPad Z13 and ThinkPad Z16 that use AMD’s Ryzen Pro CPUs including the special Ryzen 7 Pro 6860Z model. The companies say that they have worked together to co-design and engineer these laptops for maximum efficiency.
The lineup extends to AMD’s H-series and U-series product tiers, indicating a 35-45W and 28W thermal design envelope for high-performance and mainstream portable laptop designs. The top-end Ryzen 9 Pro 6950H has eight CPU cores with multi-threading, a 4.9GHz peak clock speed, and 20MB of total cache memory. Even the base Ryzen 5 Pro 6650U has six cores and 12 threads with 4.5GHz boost clock speed.
The newly announced Ryzen Pro 5000 models all have 15W TDP and have four, six or eight cores. However, these use the older Zen 3 architecture. These will likely show up in lower priced laptops.
Power efficiency improvements are realized through Zen 3+ core architecture, 6nm manufacturing process, new chip-level and platform-level power states, and new firmware enhancements. Support for LPDDR5 RAM and low-power displays with panel self-refresh technology should help OEMs advertise better battery life than ever before. AMD claims up to 35 percent less power is used for video conferencing and up to 32 percent less for video streaming; Both growing use cases, although the exact usage conditions and hardware will affect these figures.
The availability of the laptop will depend on the OEM, though a launch announcement should be made in the near future.
