AI has outgrown yesterday's machines. For enterprise teams to draw on its limitless capabilities, from real-time translation to coding assistants, they need a new class of PCs built for it from the ground up. That's why chipmakers like AMD are driving a new silicon movement.
AI PCs powered by AMD have the computing capacity to support AI for generations to come. And with AMD PRO Technologies, AMD delivers enterprise-ready security, manageability, and support solutions, enabling businesses to innovate with AI confidently while safeguarding critical data and freeing IT teams to focus on strategic priorities.
A productivity upgrade with truly "personal" computers
Workstations that used to handle slide decks and spreadsheets are now expected to run models crunching billions of parameters, and in most cases, they fall short. Microsoft's 2025 Work Trend Index report found that more than half of IT professionals' current devices aren't suitable for AI, and that a quarter of IT decision-makers faced higher long-term costs because of ill-equipped hardware.
The NPUs inside AMD Ryzen AI PRO processors enable edge inference, allowing models to process data locally and equip users with more control. This minimizes latency compared to waiting for a response from cloud-hosted services and ensures that sensitive information never leaves the AI PC. For software engineers, this translates to smoother brainstorming sessions with coding agents. Healthcare professionals, similarly, enjoy greater peace of mind knowing that no patient data is ever compromised.
AMD Ryzen AI PRO processors also help get the most out of Microsoft Copilot+ PCs' built-in suite of intelligence, whether that's reimagining visuals with Paint's Cocreator utility or onboarding international clients with ease thanks to live video conferencing captions -- all while lasting beyond a full workday on a single charge.
Sustainable high-performance AI across form factors
AI computing isn't one-size-fits-all; it's vital to have a diverse hardware portfolio that reflects the tech's sprawling mix of use cases. According to the AMD Ryzen AI PRO Commercial Value Leadership report, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 processor saw a 2.5x performance advantage over the competition in heavy background workload scenarios.*
For more intensive workloads, such as training custom models, the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO processors' additional RAM and GPU units offer enough headroom for developers to scale products as the business grows.
Enterprises outfitting their workforces with AI-ready hardware can produce significant commercial value. Case in point: Adopting systems powered by AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 processors will save them up to $53 million in employee time and upfront acquisition costs in the first year compared with competing commercial laptops.†
