The Ryzen AI 300 series features processors based on the Zen 5 and Zen 5c architectures. New additions include the Ryzen AI 7 350 and Ryzen AI 5 340, complementing the previously announced Ryzen AI 9 370 and Ryzen AI 9 365.

Ryzen AI 7 350: Eight cores (four Zen 5 and four Zen 5c), 16 threads, a base clock of 2.0 GHz, and a boost clock of up to 5.0 GHz for high-performance cores. Integrated Radeon 860M graphics with 12 compute units (CUs) and a frequency of up to 3,000 MHz.
Ryzen AI 5 340: Six cores (three Zen 5 and three Zen 5c), 12 threads, a base clock of 2.0 GHz, and a boost clock of up to 4.8 GHz. Integrated graphics with 4 CUs and a frequency of up to 2,900 MHz.

Both models feature Ryzen AI neural processors with performance reaching up to 50 TOPS, ensuring compatibility with Microsoft Copilot+PC requirements. Configurable TDPs ranging from 15 to 55 W enable manufacturers to tailor these chips for various applications.

The Ryzen 200 series, on the other hand, is based on the older Hawk Point architecture with Zen 4 cores, essentially rebranded Ryzen 8000 models. For example, the Ryzen 9 270 is identical to the Ryzen 9 8945HS. Key features of this updated series include:

Up to eight Zen 4 cores;
Integrated Radeon 700M graphics based on the RDNA 3 architecture with 12 CUs;
A Ryzen AI XDNA NPU with performance up to 16 TOPS;

These processors are designed for entry-level and mid-range laptops, offering basic AI-driven functionalities for everyday tasks.

Laptops featuring Ryzen AI 300 processors are expected in Q1 2024, while models with Ryzen AI PRO 300 and Ryzen 200 series chips will hit the market in Q2 2024. AMD’s latest processors promise high performance even in budget devices, making them appealing to a wide range of users.
