AMD Ryzen PRO processors are also embedded with AMD Memory Guard, which aids in safeguarding data and identity credentials. Further, AMD Shadow Stack offers hardware-enabled protection against malware threats.
Evolving Workspace Augurs Well for AMD
Rapid proliferation of high-end cloud computing, increasing demand for thinner laptops and faster processing are anticipated to drive demand for the new Ryzen PRO 5000 series processors.
Further, remote working, staying at home and online learning spurred demand for PCs, laptops and notebooks. The increase in video-gaming activity across the globe amid the pandemic is also contributing to higher demand for gaming notebooks.
Also, continued momentum seen in PC shipments, owing to work from home, bodes well for the adoption of AMD’s processors that are designed to serve business purposes.
These trends are unlikely to
dissipate
in the near term as global vaccination rollout is proving to be a long drawn affair.
The laptop market worldwide is forecast to witness a CAGR of 0.5% between 2021 and 2026,
per an Expert Market Research repor
t. It reached nearly $103 billion in value in 2020, added by the report.
These robust features are expected to drive the uptake of AMD’s new processors and in turn, boost the company’s top line in the upcoming days.
However, increasing competition in the semiconductor space from the likes of
NVIDIA
NVDA
and
Intel
INTC
remains a concern.
Recently, Intel launched its 11th Gen Intel Core S-series desktop processors (dubbed Rocket Lake-S), globally, to ramp up the speed and performance for video gaming.
