Why AMD thinks Ryzen AI will be just as vital as CPUs and GPUs

A top AMD executive says that the company is thinking about deeper integration of AI across the Ryzen product line, but one ingredient is missing: client applications and operating systems that actually take advantage of them. AMD launched the Ryzen 7000 series in January, which includes the Ryzen 7040HS. In early May, AMD announced the Ryzen 7040U, a lower-power version of the 7040HS. Both are the first chips to include Ryzen AI "XDNA" hardware, among the first occurrences of AI logic for PCs. So far, however, AI remains a service that (aside from Stable Diffusion and some others) exclusively runs in the cloud.
