AMD announced two new additions to its PRO processor lineup today: 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen PRO mobile processors with Radeon Vega Graphics and AMD Athlon PRO mobile processors with Radeon Vega Graphics.
AMD’s newest chip lineup promises to give business laptops up to 12 hours of battery life and a boost in graphics processing power. These 12mm chips have Vega graphics and are ready to power new business-class laptops from companies such as Lenovo and HP.
“Modern PC users expect the experience between professional and personal to be imperceptible, and business notebook users want to utilize the latest modern features including 3D modeling, video editing, multi-display setups while multitasking securely, to get more done,” commented Saeid Moshkelani, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Client Compute division at AMD. With AMD Ryzen PRO and Athlon PRO mobile processors, AMD delivers the right performance, features, and choice to OEMs and commercial users, combined with the productivity, protection, and professional features needed to ensure seamless deployment throughout an organization.”
All four chips are being fabricated on a 12-nanometer manufacturing process. AMD shares detailed specifications below:
| Product Model | Cores/ Threads |
TDP | Boost/Base Freq. | Radeon Graphics | GPU Cores | Max GPU Freq. | L2+L3 Cache |
| AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U | 4C/8T | 15W | 4.0/2.3 GHz | Vega | 10 | 1400 MHz | 6MB |
| AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U | 4C/8T | 15W | 3.7/2.1 GHz | Vega | 8 | 1200 MHz | 6MB |
| AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 3300U | 4C/4T | 15W | 3.5/2.1 GHz | Vega | 6 | 1200 MHz | 6MB |
| AMD Athlon PRO 300U | 2C/4T | 15W | 3.3/2.4 GHz | Vega | 3 | 1000 MHz | 5MB |
AMD published a list of models one can expect from the new generation of mobile processors. Going from the most expensive to the most affordable, the list goes: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U (2.3GHz base clock speed, 4.0GHz boosted clock speed, 10 GPU cores), AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U (2.1GHz base clock speed, 3.7GHz boosted clock speed, 8 GPU cores), AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 3300U (2.1GHz base clock speed, 3.5GHz boosted clock speed, 6 GPU cores), and AMD Athlon PRO 300U (2.4GHz base clock speed, 3.3GHz boosted clock speed, 3 GPU cores). While all the new Ryzens are quad-core models, the Athlon alone is a dual-core model.
