AMD has introduced its next-generation processors for professional desktop systems. The Ryzen PRO 9000 series, built on the Zen 5 architecture, and the updated Ryzen PRO 7000 family, based on energy-efficient Zen 4, feature significant improvements in both performance and enterprise security. Both series are equipped with AMD PRO technologies, aiming to provide secure, manageable, and long-lasting solutions for the business world.
New Ryzen PRO processors announced
The Ryzen 9 PRO 9945, the most powerful model in the Ryzen PRO 9000 series, offers 3.4 GHz base and 5.4 GHz boost frequencies with 12 cores and 24 threads. Featuring 76 MB of cache and a 65W TDP, the processor demonstrated a performance difference of up to 44 percent in comparisons with the Intel Core i7-14700. Achieving higher scores in benchmarks such as Blender, Cinebench, and PassMark, the processor is particularly noteworthy in content creation and multitasking scenarios.
Other models in the series include the 8-core Ryzen 7 PRO 9745, the 6-core Ryzen 5 PRO 9645, and the entry-level Ryzen 5 PRO 7745. All models maintain a performance focus with high frequencies and large cache capacities. Integrated AMD RDNA 3 graphics and an AI engine are also available on some models, increasing graphics processing power.
The Ryzen 7 PRO 8700G stands out in graphics performance and efficiency. In benchmark tests, it achieved a 47 percent increase in Passmark, a 300 percent increase in 3DMark graphics, and a 33 percent increase in Adobe Premiere Pro compared to the Intel Core i7-14700.
Furthermore, compared to previous-generation Ryzen PRO processors, performance was increased by 20 percent in single-core, 26 percent in multi-core, and up to 264 percent in graphics tests.
The new Ryzen PRO series distinguishes itself not only with its processing power but also with its enterprise-class solutions. AMD PRO technologies address critical needs such as advanced encryption, remote management capabilities, and system stability. DDR5 memory and PCIe support accelerate data throughput, increasing business process efficiency.
Manufacturers like Lenovo have begun using Ryzen PRO processors in their enterprise desktop PCs. Companies like Hiroshima Transportation have reduced costs and increased performance by equipping systems with these processors. Higginbotham has also contributed to sustainability goals by reducing energy consumption with new systems.
The technological advancements AMD offers with the Ryzen PRO 9000 and 7000 series are reshaping the competitive landscape in professional desktop solutions. The combination of performance, security, and manageability features creates a powerful alternative for companies to strengthen their IT infrastructures. This new series, which stands out in competition with Intel, is poised to make a significant impact on the enterprise PC market.
