“Navigating an increasingly distributed work environment requires more performance and security from our professional laptops. Businesses need to be confident they are investing in technology that will meet the needs of their employees, whether they are working remotely or from the office,” said Saeid Moshkelani, senior vice president and general manager, Client Business Unit, AMD. “The new AMD Ryzen PRO 5000 Series Mobile Processors significantly increase the capabilities of ultrathin enterprise notebooks and deliver best-in-class user experiences with leadership performance, exceptional battery life and robust security features for every work environment.”
The new lineup of Ryzen PRO 5000 series mobile processors include the top-end Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U, Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U, and Ryzen 3 PRO 5450U. Here are the specifications of each of the new CPUs:
