AMD’s new Ryzen 7040 Series laptop APU has special AI sauce

AMD Ryzen 7040

We’ve already reported on AMD’s new 16-core mobile monster, the Ryzen 7045 Series (opens in new tab). But it’s arguably AMD’s new laptop APU that’s more interesting. May we introduce the AMD Ryzen 7040 Series, otherwise known as the Phoenix APU, and decked out with AMD’s brand new and very intriguing “XDNA” AI engine.

AMD’s naming conventions for the new Ryzen 7000 Series mobile chips as a whole may be a bit confusing, but bear with it because there’s some exciting technology in this particular variant. The Ryzen 7040 Series is a more direct replacement for the old AMD Ryzen 6000 mobile chip, being a monolithic APU designed expressly for mobile where the Ryzen 7045 16-core monster is more of a repackaged desktop chip.
