AMD claims that the Ryzen 9 PRO 3900 and Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 brings up to 2X faster performance than the competition at the same power. The company also estimates that the Ryzen PRO processors offer up to 127% faster data-crunching versus the competition, from solving equations to running simulations in various industries including financial services, life science, and energy.
Every AMD Ryzen PRO processor contains a built-in security co-processor that runs AMD GuardMI technology, which is dedicated to helping protect users’ PCs. AMD Memory Guard helps defend against cold boot attacks with full system memory encryption, and AMD technology supports and complements OEM security features and Windows Security, including Lenovo ThinkShield and HP Sure Start, among others.
In the coming months, Ryzen PRO processor-based systems will be available from PC vendors including HP and Lenovo.
The HP EliteDesk 705 G5 Small Form Factor is the first AMD desktop PC with dual-M.2 drive capability. It will be available in September starting at $669 USD.
The HP EliteDesk 705 G5 Desktop Mini is a small but powerful AMD Ultra Small Form Factor (USFF) business-class PC. It offers many configurable options, and built-in security and manageability in a compact design. The HP EliteDesk 705 G5 DM will be available in November starting at $679 USD.
Lenovo ThinkCentre desktops have been available with AMD processors. That heritage continues with the ThinkCentre M75s-1 small form factor (SFF) and M75q-1 Tiny form factor offering the latest Ryzen PRO processors, up to 12-cores on the SFF model.
New for 2019 AMD platforms is the Smart Power-On feature allowing users to mount the desktops in more flexible locations, such as a wall, under a desk or behind a monitor. Simply press ALT+P on the keyboard to power on the system. The M75q-1 Tiny also now includes a USB Type-C port and an HDMI port as standard and the option of two additional user-defined ports.
