AMD launches new Ryzen Pro 5000 series processors for thin-and-light laptops

AMD has announced its new Ryzen Pro 5000 series mobile processors which will compete with the Intel vPro platform. The new Zen-3 chipsets are aimed at thin-and-light business laptops and will offer “uncompromised performance and battery life,” AMD claims.

The Ryzen Pro 5000 series chipsets feature similar specifications to the Ryzen 5000 chipsets. This includes the new octa-core Ryzen 7 Pro 5850 with 16 threads and 20MB cache. The chip has a base frequency of 1.9GHz and will boost up to 4.4GHz. The new lineup features the only processors for thin-and-light laptops that use eight high-performing cores.

Apart from the Ryzen 7 Pro, the brand has also launched the Ryzen 5 Pro 5650U with six cores and 12 threads, along with the Ryzen 3 Pro 5450U which has four cores and eight threads.
