The implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides numerous benefits across various fields. A study from a recent survey of global IT leaders found that 3 out of 4 IT leaders are optimistic about the potential benefits of AI — from improving employee efficiency to automated cybersecurity solutions — and more than 2 out of 3 are increasing investments in AI technology. The presence of AI technology offers positive opportunities for organizations to become more productive, efficient, and secure. Recognizing the immense and diverse potential of AI, especially in Indonesia, provides opportunities for sustainable development, social influence, and economic expansion that can improve living standards by leveraging AI technology optimally. However, the other side of implementing AI is the uncertainty about the right time to adopt AI due to the lack of implementation roadmaps and overall readiness of various hardware and technologies available. To ensure that organizations or companies have the best computing platform in implementing AI solutions, AMD focuses on developing cutting-edge solutions with AI capabilities across its product portfolio — from cloud to endpoint — while working closely with the open-standard software industry. In response to all of this, today in Indonesia, AMD announced the AMD Ryzen AI mobile and desktop processor lineup for enterprise and consumer segments ranging from content creators, designers, gamers, and even students, providing more optimal productivity with advanced AI technology experiences and premium connectivity. The new AMD Ryzen PRO 8040 Series is the most advanced x86 processor designed for business laptops and mobile workstations. AMD also introduces the AMD Ryzen PRO 8000 Series desktop processors, the first AI-capable desktop processors for business users, designed to deliver cutting-edge performance with low power consumption. AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors are now available to complement the existing AMD EPYC server CPU portfolio, offering a new cost-effective option with enterprise-class features and leading performance for small and medium-sized businesses and IT hosting providers. To cater to the consumer segment, AMD introduces the AMD RyzenTM 8040 Series with AI-ready support and other new features for content creation, seamless gaming, and daily productivity with amazing performance. The embedded AMD Ryzen AI feature in certain processor models further solidifies AMD's leadership in AI computing. By leveraging the CPU, GPU, and on-chip neural processing unit (NPU), the new AI-powered Ryzen processors deliver superior AI processing power compared to previous generations, with up to 16 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of dedicated NPU performance and up to 39 total system TOPS. Commercial PCs equipped with these new AI Ryzen processors will help transform user experiences, offering next-generation performance for AI-supported collaboration, content creation, and data and analytics workloads. With the addition of AMD PRO technology, IT managers can unlock enterprise-grade management features to streamline IT operations and expedite PC deployments across organizations. These processors also come with built-in security features to defend against advanced chip-to-cloud attacks, as well as unprecedented stability, reliability, and long platform lifespan for enterprise software. "At AMD, we believe AI will define the next era of computing, and its full potential can only be realized when the technology is widely deployed – spanning across cloud, edge, and endpoint," said Peter Chambers, Managing Director, Sales, APAC, AMD.
