AMD to Power Business Laptops With New Ryzen, Athlon Pro Chips

From PC Mag: AMD's newest chip lineup promises to give business laptops up to 12 hours of battery life and a boost in graphics processing power.

The company's second-generation Ryzen Pro and Athlon Pro mobile processors, announced today, are built with Radeon Vega graphics technology. The four chips are slated to arrive in commercial notebooks starting this quarter from vendors including HP and Lenovo.

The lineup starts with the AMD Athlon Pro 300U, which will likely be packed inside lower-tier laptops. It features two cores, support for up to four processing threads, and on-chip Radeon Vega 3 graphics silicon. The 300U will run at a 2.4GHz base clock speed.

The three other chips are all quad-core and fall under the Ryzen Pro 3000 series, and scale up to offer additional threads, higher clock speeds, and more graphics cores. All four chips are being fabricated on a 12-nanometer manufacturing process.
