AMD has been shipping the industry's first AI-enabled x86 CPU chip for PCs since May, contrary to recent reports. The company's high-end CPU, the 4nm Ryzen 7040 Series, incorporates AI technology and plans are underway to extend this technology to more desktop and laptop Ryzen CPUs next year. AMD CEO Lisa Su sees AI as a multi-billion dollar growth opportunity for the company across cloud, edge and various intelligent end points.

AMD has integrated the AI IP from the Xilinx Versal adaptive SoC into the Ryzen 7040, making it the first product to market that benefits from the joint IP of the two companies post-acquisition. The company has also created a platform for running AI models using the Xilinx software stack. This platform allows developers to run machine learning models trained in PyTorch or TensorFlow on select laptops powered by AMD Ryzen AI technology.
