AMD Releases 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen PRO and AMD Athlon PRO Mobile Processors for Notebooks

AMD announced the latest additions to its PRO processor lineup: 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen PRO mobile processors with Radeon Vega Graphics and AMD Athlon PRO mobile processors with Radeon Vega Graphics.

Designed for commercial notebooks, the new processors provide users power-efficient performance, security features, and commercial-grade reliability and manageability. Initial commercial systems from HP and Lenovo are expected this quarter with other OEMs and further platform updates anticipated later in 2019.

Built on 12nm manufacturing technology, the new AMD Ryzen PRO 3000 Series mobile processors promise to offer up to 16% more multi-threading processor performance (Cinebench nT ) than competition (Intel i7-7600U).

The new AMD Ryzen PRO mobile processors deliver:

up to 12 hours of general office use or up to 10 hours of video playback,
up to 14% faster content creation and accelerated everyday office applications with integrated Radeon Vega graphics, from 3D modeling to video editing (photo editing using scripted series of photo filters in Photoshop with i7-8650U vs Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U)
security features on all Ryzen PRO processors with AMD’s security co-processor built into the silicon,
and 18-month of image stability, 24-month of processor availability, commercial grade quality, enterprise-class manageability, and 36-month limited warranty to system manufacturers.

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’s new line-up includes the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 3700U, which has four cores, eight threads, and runs at 4 gigahertz on 15 watts of power with Radeon Vega 10 graphics; the AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 3500U, which has four cores, eight threads, and runs at 3.7 gigahertz on 15 watts with Radeon Vega 8 graphics; the AMD Ryzen 3 Pro 3300U, which has four cores, four threads, and runs at 3.5 gigahertz on 15 watts with Radeon Vega 6 graphics; and the AMD Athlon Pro 300U, which has two cores, four threads, and runs at 3.3 gigahertz on 15 watts with Radeon Vega 3 graphics.

AMD claims that its new chips dramatically outperform the previous generation and are also much faster than Intel’s rival i7-8650U and i7-7600U processors.
