Industry analysts say that while AMD's new GPU series is an improvement, it is still behind Nvidia's Blackwell.

The new MI325X chip and the next generation MI350 chip, planned for next year, could be in high demand as AI growth continues at a rapid pace.

Intel executives say that the gaming market is still suspicious of the need for AI. So its new Arrow Lake desktop PC processor went with an older NPU instead.

Intel's new Core Ultra 200S family follows the power-sipping lead of its "Lunar Lake" mobile chips and brings the chipmaker's AI ambitions to its desktop processors.

The "Arrow Lake" Intel Core Ultra 200S, Intel Core Ultra 200HX, and Intel Core Ultra 200H processors favor high power efficiency, stronger multi-thread performance, and better graphics.

The Ryzen AI Pro 300 series is part of AMD’s third generation of processors for AI-accelerated laptops, and the chips will feature a Zen 5 CPU with up to 12 cores and a 5.1GHz maximum boost frequency, an RDNA 3.5 GPU with up to 16 compute units and an XDNA 2 neural processing unit (NPU) with 50 to 55 trillion operations per second (TOPS).

AMD launched the Ryzen AI Pro 300 family of processors on Thursday, the business version of the Ryzen AI 300 processors it launched earlier this year.
