# AI-Ready Laptop Processors AMD's Upcoming 8000-Series Mobile CPUs are Ready for an AI Workload By Colin Smith | Published 2023-12-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ryzen-8000 References: [pcworld](https://www.pcworld.com/article/2162142/amd-announces-ryzen-8000-laptop-processors-with-a-renewed-ai-push.html)  AMD unveiled the first set of CPUs coming to the Ryzen 8000 series, which are the 8040 mobile variants for laptops. This processor series includes a similar spread to the Ryzen 7040 processors from last year, meaning it will have Ryzen 3, 5, 7, and 9 variants, ranging from the 8440U low-power Ryzen 3 processor up to the high-end 8945HS Ryzen 9 processor. Each processor announced in the 8040 series includes an RDNA 2 iGPU, with the 740M in the low-end models, the 760M in the mid-range models, and the [Ryzen 780M](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onexplayer-2-pro-8840) in the high-performance cards. The 780M is currently one of the strongest integrated graphics cards on the market, with it being the primary option for dedicated gaming machines such as the [ROG Ally](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/z1-extreme) and the Lenovo [Legion GO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-igpu). This year, AMD is focusing on artificial intelligence workloads with these CPUs, as every product in the lineup with the exception of the two lowest-end models, the 8440U and 8540U, is equipped with a high-performance Neural Processing Unit (NPU) built on AMD's 'XDNA' architecture.
