AMD has usually pushed the envelope in efficiency, however at CES 2025, the corporate can also be increasing in one other route, with cheaper, lower-performance Ryzen AI 300 and even a Ryzen 200 household that the corporate is encouraging each customers and industrial clients to purchase.
In June, AMD launched the Ryzen AI 300 household, which mixed 50 TOPS of AI energy with a ton of standard efficiency in our Ryzen AI 300 evaluate, together with in gaming efficiency as nicely. In October, it prolonged the Ryzen AI 300 to enterprise clients, too.
Nonetheless, AMD constructed out its high-end Ryzen AI 300 collection first, with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (12 cores/24 threads) and the Ryzen AI 9 365 (10 cores/20 threads). At present, it does the alternative, with the launch of 4 new Ryzen AI 300 collection chips — two every for customers and enterprise clients — in addition to seven new Ryzen 200 chips to supply slower, inexpensive alternate options.
Because the identify suggests, the Ryzen AI 300 collection is constructed for AI, with 50 TOPS of NPU AI energy, sufficient for Copilot+ standing. AMD’s earlier Ryzen AI 300 processors embody Zen 5 CPU cores in addition to Radeon 3.5 graphics, which AMD on the time recognized because the Radon 890M and Radeon 880M. An AMD consultant confirmed that these new processors embody Zen 5 and Radeon 3.5 graphics as nicely, although AMD isn’t spelling out any of the small print on the launch
In the meantime, the Ryzen 200 collection seems to mix a few of AMD’s older CPU architectures, leaving the “high-end” Ryzen 200 chips with simply 16 peak NPU TOPS. These Zen 4 cores embody built-in graphics, too, particularly RDNA 3 that AMD debuted in 2022.

AMD’s new Ryzen AI 300 CPUs supply barely slower clock speeds and a decrease core rely, however supply the lengthy (24 hours or so) battery life that AMD’s different Ryzen AI 300 chips supply.
- AMD Ryzen AI 7 350: 8 cores/16 threads, 5.0 GHz (turbo), 24MB cache, 50 peak TOPS, 15-54W cTDP
- AMD Ryzen AI 5 340: 6 cores/12 threads, 4.8 GHz (turbo), 22MB cache, 50 peak TOPS, 15-54W cTDP
AMD will supply Ryzen Professional variations of each of those chips for company clients. The buyer variations will ship within the first quarter of 2025, AMD stated, whereas the Professional variations might be obtainable to clients within the second quarter.

“These new models allow us to make our leading Ryzen AI 300 series processors available to many more users, and bring AMD next gen AI experiences to everyone,” Rahul Tikoo, the senior vp and common supervisor of AMD’s shopper computing enterprise stated in a recorded briefing for reporters. Tikoo beforehand led the shopper product group at Dell as common supervisor.
AMD’s Ryzen 200 collection additionally affords industrial choices for the Ryzen 250, 230, 220, and 210. In any other case these chips supply decrease core counts and decrease thread counts, with what AMD calls “great price points for the mainstream.” AMD doesn’t usually launch costs for cell chips, nevertheless.
Listed below are AMD’s new Ryzen 200 processors:
- AMD Ryzen 9 270: 8 cores/16 threads, 5.2 GHz turbo, 24MB cache; 16 peak TOPS, 35-54W cTDP
- AMD Ryzen 9 260: 8 cores/16 threads, 5.1 GHz turbo, 24MB cache; 16 peak TOPS, 35-54W cTDP
- AMD Ryzen 7 250: 8 cores/16 threads, 5.1 GHz turbo, 24MB cache; 16 peak TOPS, 15-30W cTDP
- AMD Ryzen 5 240: 6 cores/12 threads, 5.0 GHz turbo, 22MB cache; 16 peak TOPS, 35-54W cTDP
- AMD Ryzen 5 230: 6 cores/12 threads, 4.9 GHz turbo, 22MB cache; 16 peak TOPS, 15-30W cTDP
- AMD Ryzen 5 220: 6 cores/12 threads, 4.9 GHz turbo, 22MB cache; N/A TOPS, 15-30W cTDP
- AMD Ryzen 3 210: 4 cores/8 threads, 4.7 GHz turbo, 12MB cache; N/A TOPS, 15-30W cTDP
