Submission + - AMD Launches New Ryzen Pro Processors With Vega Graphics For The Enterprise (hothardware.com)
MojoKid writes: AMD launched a new family of Ryzen Pro processors for enterprise desktops and laptops. The CPUs incorporate Ryzen quad-core CPU with integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega M graphics GPUs. There are three new SKUs each, for the mobile market and for the desktop market, all of which are still built on a 14nm FinFET manufacturing process. On the mobile side, there is the 3.8GHz Ryzen Pro 7 2700U and the 3.6GHz Ryzen Pro 5 2500U. Both of these APUs have 4 cores/8 threads and a TDP of 12 to 25 watts, but the former has 10 Radeon Compute Units (CUs), while the latter makes do with 8 CUs. The 3.4GHz Ryzen Pro 3 2300U, which is not SMT-enabled, has 4 cores/4 threads and 6 CUs. For desktop systems, there are the Ryzen 5 Pro 2400G/2400GE and Ryzen Pro 3 2200G/2200GE. The "GE" variants have slightly lower clock speeds than their "G" series desktop counterparts, but much lower TDP ratings (35 watts versus 65 watts). Also on board is AMD GuardMI Technology with on-chip DRAM memory encryption, secure boot, fTPM/TPM 2.0, and what the company calls “enterprise-grade” reliability. AMD also notes, "during an event in front of global press and industry analysts last week, several top global PC OEMs unveiled a breadth of commercial platform offerings including light but powerful enterprise notebooks, robust enterprise desktops, compact enterprise micro towers and small form factor desktops, all powered by Ryzen PRO processors with Radeon Vega Graphics." You can expect systems featuring this new AMD Ryzen Pro family of products available in market within the next few weeks.
