Artificial Intelligence has changed a lot in the last 40 years, and to take full advantage of its possibilities, more than just a processor or a next-generation graphics card is needed. The adoption of 64-bit software and the introduction of 3D-accelerated graphics in the late 1990s demanded significant software support at the time, in addition to new hardware capabilities. AMD and Microsoft are meeting this challenge with Ryzen AI.
Both brands have been working together to create the building blocks to get the most out of AI both today and in the future. Many AI tasks can run on a conventional CPU or GPU, but they are typically not ideal for running a machine learning inference workload. As more models and workloads evolve, it will be vital to use specialized AI engines in silicon designed specifically for such tasks. This will deliver the right performance and experience to end users.
AMD and Microsoft collaborate together on the development of hardware and software focused on Artificial Intelligence with Ryzen AI
New AMD Ryzen 7040 Series Processors with Ryzen AI Deliver Artificial Intelligence Features via a dedicated on-chip processing block. This brick is designed specifically to handle AI workloads, and is the first of its kind for x86 laptops running Windows 11. Giving ultra-thin laptops higher AI performance than they could otherwise rely on of more conventional processors.
For his part, Microsoft is working to integrate AI into the Windows ecosystem. AMD Ryzen AI is designed to support these new innovations. Advanced Windows-based features are available on notebooks with select AMD Ryzen 7040 Series processors with Ryzen AI. As the use of artificial intelligence grows, so will the need for hardware and software that can accelerate these workloads more effectively. Support the AI market Support consumer-facing applications as well as developers.
AMD is providing early access to Ryzen AI software to Windows developers. It will enable AI researchers and developers to run AI workloads on select Ryzen 7040 series processors with Ryzen AI using the open source Vitis AI Execution Provider AI framework. AI is expected to drive innovation in the Windows ecosystem for years to come.
