"It's like the gold rush. But it's probably going to come down in a couple of years, and then we'll just be refining the experience." AMD Senior Manager talks AI PCs and NPUs

AMD Ryzen 5 8600G.

"We were the first ones with the NPU and then we're the first ones to have kind of our second iteration already out and running."

AI PCs have been getting a lot of attention lately, with Microsoft specifically defining AI PCs as AI-capable computers with a Copilot key and a system that utilizes an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) as well as a CPU and GPU. AMD was the first chip company to produce NPUs, but now Intel has its own series of Core Ultra processors with NPUs which have allowed several more AI PCs to enter the market (learn more at our NPU guide). 

Recently, AMD shared benchmarks with me, which show that AMD Ryzen AI processors perform faster and more efficiently than Intel's AI processors. After viewing this information, I sat down with AMD Senior Processor Technical Marketing Manager Donny Woligroski to discuss how AMD plans to maintain a competitive edge against Intel. We also talked about AI PCs, Ryzen AI processors, and what AMD sees in its future.
