Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has recently ramped up its PRO processor & GPU portfolio, which in turn will strengthen its competitive position and bolster foothold in computing, gaming and visualization technologies.

With this move, the company expanded its latest second generation AMD Ryzen series PRO mobile processors and AMD Athlon series PRO mobile processors with Radeon Vega graphics cards.

These updated versions will provide power-efficient performance, security features with more reliability giving it the desired speed for optimal graphics solutions required for notebooks and desktops.Based on the AMD Radeon Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), these cards are ideal for gamers who require superior graphic performance and high-quality visual experiences.

Per Moshkelani, senior vice president and general manager of AMD, “With AMD Ryzen PRO and Athlon PRO mobile processors, AMD delivers the right performance, features, and choice to OEMs and commercial users, combined with the productivity, protection, and professional features needed to ensure seamless deployment throughout an organization.”

Key Features

AMD Athlon 300 series mobile processors, which are developed on Zen 3 core architecture, are budget friendly and cater to various demands of consumers. AMD Ryzen 3000 series mobile processors feature 12nm technology for ultrathin laptops and notebooks, and offers longer battery to keep pace with consumer’s needs.

Further, AMD Ryzen 3000 series and Athlon 300 series features higher core count which is anticipated to bolster the competitive position of AMD against Intel (INTC).
