AMD launched its latest salvo in it’s battle with Intel over the increasingly vital laptop processor market at CES 2024 with the announcement of a host of new processors, the AMD Ryzen 8040 series, that takes direct aim at Intel Meteor Lake — and may give Team Blue’s latest chips a serious run for their money.
The new AMD chips are based on AMD’s Zen 4 architecture with some very important additions, namely AMD’s XDNA AI neural processor unit (NPU), and AMD RDNA 3 integrated graphics, making the new chips a potentially formidable challenger to Intel Meteor Lake’s hybrid, multi-chiplet module architecture built with Intel’s own NPU and integrated Intel Arc graphics.
