Hello and thank you for joining us today for our first Product Premiere of 2022.
As always, we love kicking off the year with CES as we roll out new products
and preview some of the next-generation technologies we've been working on.
It's never been a more exciting time to be in the semiconductor business.
We are in a high-performance computing mega cycle today.
From digital transformation in businesses, to AI and supercomputing, to the devices that we
rely on for school and work... computing has never been more essential to our daily lives
and we see this trend only increasing in the years ahead. Whether in PCs, the cloud, gaming, or supercomputers...
AMD is all about pushing the envelope on high-performance computing. And as a result, AMD products
are everywhere. We focus on deep code development with our partners to build solutions for today's
most demanding experiences and challenges. It all starts in the cloud where AMD powers the services
that connect billions and helps make us all more productive from virtually anywhere and at any
time. Microsoft Teams and 365, Meta, Tencent Meeting, Twitter, Zoom, and many more use our EPYC processors.
And in the enterprise, leading Fortune 500 companies are increasingly selecting EPYC
to power their infrastructure. And as you all know we just love PCs. The last few years have
seen tremendous innovation and our next-generation Ryzen and Radeon processors
will raise the bar for the experiences we can expect from commercial, creator, and gaming PCs.
We also love gamers, because they're always looking for more performance to enable the
most immersive experience possible. Which is why we're so proud that our Ryzen and Radeon
technologies power the best experiences from PCs to game consoles to cloud gaming.
In automotive we've also partnered with Tesla to enable the next generation of in-dash infotainment.
And in phones, our partnership with Samsung will enable new mobile gaming experiences
as we bring low-power RDNA2 graphics to their next-generation flagship SOCs.
Now turning to PCs, we've seen remarkably strong growth in PCs over the last two years with overall
shipments increasing 30 percent and notebook shipments growing by an amazing 49 percent.
And as a result, we shipped a record 350 million PC in 2021, as an industry.
Today we're going to focus on what comes next for PCs,
including new notebook APUs and GPUs, desktop GPUs and Ryzen desktop processors.
Let's get started with our new Ryzen Mobile Processors and next-generation notebooks.
Since launching our first Ryzen Mobile Processors at CES in 2018 we have consistently
executed our multi-generational roadmap and delivered a new Ryzen mobile processor every year
As a result we have built deep partnerships with all of the top PC OEMs
as they have also expanded their adoption of Ryzen mobile in each new generation
In 2021 our partners launched more than 150 premium ultra-thin commercial and gaming designs,
resulting in AMD achieving record mobile processor market share. Now it's time for what's next.
Today I'm proud to launch our AMD Ryzen 6000 Series Mobile Processors,
that deliver leadership performance, battery life, and much much more. We have so much new technology
in the 6000 Series. It starts with an updated Zen 3+ CPU core optimized specifically to deliver
leadership performance per watt for notebooks. And I know this is one the community has been
requesting for the first time we are bringing RDNA2 graphics to our notebook APUs.
The RDNA2 graphics upgrade brings a massive increase in performance compared to our prior generation
and is the same graphics IP powering the latest generation consoles high-end gaming PCs and Teslas.
For increased performance and greater power efficiency, Ryzen 6000 APUs are built using TSMC's
6nm process technology. And to enable our partners to build the ultimate notebooks,
we paired our leadership mobile processor with the latest in memory and connectivity technologies,
including low power DDR5 memory, USB4 and Wi-Fi 6E. And the performance is just amazing.
Ryzen 6000 powered notebooks feature our fastest Ryzen processor ever
with boost speeds up to 5GHz, we're delivering an average of 1.3x faster performance
compared to the 5000 series across a wide range of compute-intensive benchmarks. And with an RDNA2
graphics built in, it's a massive leap, double the performance. This is just an enormous generational
uplift compared to our Ryzen 5000 mobile processors which were already the best available.
Now looking at the application performance compared to our prior generation Ryzen
6000 APUs deliver up to 69 percent faster video editing, more than double the 3D rendering performance
and double the 1080p gaming performance. We've also worked closely with our customers and partners to
enable unique security features. To better address the evolving security threats facing the industry
I'm very proud to announce that Ryzen 6000 series will be the first PC processors that integrate the
Microsoft Pluton security processor. Our co-development work with Microsoft eliminates
entire attack vectors on notebooks, better protecting critical data like system credentials,
user identities, encryption keys, and personal information. The Microsoft Pluton processor
combined with our other security features, delivers the most innovative security in a PC processor.
Now the performance and security are great but when it comes to notebooks, battery life is so important.
And this is where the efficiency of our Zen 3+ core and 6 nanometer process technology really shine.
We've made significant design optimizations and enhancements in our Ryzen 6000 processors to
deliver leadership performance per watt including an all-new adaptive power control framework, and
new power management features that will enable up to 24 hours of video playback on a single charge.
Put all of that together and you simply have the world's best all-around notebook processor.
To show you Ryzen 6000 in action for the very first time and tell you a bit
more, here's Jason Banta, general manager of our OEM PC business.
Thank you Lisa. At the heart of Ryzen is Zen. AMD's award-winning
core architecture driving the computing revolution. In 2021 we launched the highly successful
Ryzen 5000 with the high-performance Zen 3 core. It set the performance standard for gaming, content
creation, and productivity in premium notebooks. In Ryzen 6000 we introduced the Zen 3+ core
bringing into perfect balance high-performance and incredible efficiency. For Zen 3+ we
deliver stronger performance that can really be felt by gamers, creators, and professionals.
At the same time, that performance uplift needed to come with substantial core power reduction.
This enables longer battery life, reduced fan noise, and a cooler notebook in those Ryzen
6000 platforms. 50 new power management features were implemented since our Ryzen 5000 platform.
We developed a brand new set of deep sleep states to take the core to an extremely low power state
in between operations. And finally we re-architected our system management firmware to
be smarter. Our new adaptive power management can learn from the OS and utilizes more on-die sensors
to adjust speed more quickly and accurately. AMD is the only team that can deliver a performance core
and an efficient core in the same core. Now let's see what it can do. The Zen 3+
core shines in cases where performance really matters. We've upped our game in raw APU horsepower,
logging substantial gains in both single-thread and multi-thread computes. Cinebench R23 single
thread has improved by 11 percent and multi-thread has improved by 28 percent. A combination of improved frequency
and enhanced clock residency delivers performance across the most demanding applications.
But when we translate that to real productivity and content creation applications,
the result is even stronger. PC Mark 10 extended which blends a suite of real-world applications
shows a 28 percent gain compared to our Ryzen 5000 series product. These Ryzen 6000 performance
gains also come with exceptional battery life, in the latest laptop designs.
Today's laptops are becoming a critical part of our lives, from virtual meetings, to streaming, and creating, but
nothing is more frustrating than a noisy fan or a low battery warning during an important zoom call,
or a thrilling Netflix episode. Therefore we put power consumption front and center in Zen 3+.
Over a 30 percent system power reduction when running Microsoft Teams, 40 percent when playing Netflix,
these improvements mean a quieter cooler system and the battery life to ensure your laptop lasts.
Ryzen 6000 also brings the most advanced graphic engine available in a laptop. For the first time
we are bringing the incredible RDNA graphics architecture into a mobile APU. The Ryzen 6000
graphics engine is simply phenomenal. It offers up to 12 RDNA2 compute units setting a new
standard for APU graphics. It is the first mobile APU to support hardware ray tracing.
Compared to Ryzen 5000 graphics, the RDNA2 engine supports a 2x larger cache
The overall graphics engine is 50 percent larger than the prior generation of Ryzen mobile,
and Ryzen 6000 is optimized for Fidelity FX Super Resolution and Microsoft DirectX 12 Ultimate.
The combination of Zen 3+, RDNA2, and FSR enables the dream of true
1080p AAA gaming on an ultra-thin, APU-only notebook. We told you that Ryzen 6000 delivers
twice the performance of Ryzen 5000 but let's look at it against other products in market.
We see it as significantly faster than the integrated xe graphics available in the tiger
lake 1165 g7 notebook, but let's look at it against discrete solutions in market as well.
Annually over 19 million notebooks are sold with an entry class discrete gpu
such as the geforce mx450. That adds system price and reduces battery life in your notebook.
Ryzen 6000 APU graphics also beats that mx450 discrete graphics hands down.
but Ryzen 6000 graphics gets even better. Last year we launched Fidelity FX Super Resolution.
This technology unlocks faster frame rates through real-time upscaling of game content.
We're bringing this capability to the Ryzen 6000 APU. For this next demo, I want to show you
Far Cry 6, a AAA title recently released from Ubisoft, and here we'll compare the Ryzen 7 6800U
running with Fidelity FX Super Resolution on and off to show a dramatic difference in frame rate.
59 frames per second average of gaming performance on this exciting visually rich title.
This represents over a 50 percent gain really showing the power of FSR on an APU,
but this is not just the case with one title. These AAA results spread across the games we tested on
Ryzen 6000, here we focused on some of the more intense gaming titles in the market today.
This is what only AMD can do in a notebook by bringing together the best core, graphics, and software, we
unlock a new paradigm in pure APU gaming. Far Cry 6, Call of Duty: Vanguard and Godfall, demanding
AAA titles, true 60 fps 1080p AAA gaming on an ultra-thin APU is now possible with Ryzen 6000.
Ryzen 6000 also introduces an all-new connected laptop platform.
First there's an all-new high-speed USB4, this delivers 2x the transfer speed compared
to USB 3.2. With USB4 a 4K movie can be transferred in under 7 seconds. And the USB4 ecosystem
is emerging rapidly with advanced stocks, ssds, and displays leading that charge.
We're excited to be an early adopter helping to enable that ecosystem.
PCI Gen 4 enables the latest generation of mobile GPUs, NVMe drives to their full potential with
twice the speed of PCIe Gen 3. Most notably, the Radeon 6000 series lineup of GPUs supports this
high-speed interface from top to bottom ensuring that phenomenal GPUs won't get starved for data.
We've enabled the latest DDR5 or LPDDR5 on all Ryzen 6000 platforms to ensure the RDNA2 engine
is properly fed delivering the optimal graphics experience. And this is truly a connected platform.
Our deep partnership with a number of wireless providers ensures fast responsive WI-FI 6
and WI-FI 6E solutions are available on Ryzen 6000 laptops. And finally Ryzen 6000
rocks an all-new display engine delivering the richest visuals of any notebook platform.
HDMI 2.1 and display port 2 are available as well as the latest video streaming standards
such as AV1. The Ryzen 6000 capabilities at a platform level are simply incredible, however
the system experience is truly what matters we've partnered with PC OEMs and the team at
Microsoft to ensure the most premium components are enabled and optimized in Ryzen-based laptops
from high-end storage, to displays, to wireless, we partner to ensure the Ryzen 6000 experience
is exceptional. To introduce you to this incredible lineup of partner notebooks let me hand it back to Lisa.
