AMD launches broad high-performance computing and physical AI portfolios, including its first rack-scale AI solution and the world’s most powerful AI rack, AMD Helios. AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today launched its next-generation AI infrastructure and physical AI portfolio at Advancing AI 2026, led by AMD Helios rackscale solutions, now in production to be deployed by leading AI companies at gigawatt scale. As AI expands from training to inference and agentic workloads, compute demand is accelerating rapidly. AMD delivers an open, full-stack AI platform that gives customers the flexibility to deploy the right compute for every workload. “The next phase of AI will span frontier models, agents and physical AI, creating new opportunities to bring intelligence everywhere,” said Dr. Lisa Su, chair and CEO, AMD. “Realizing that potential will take the entire industry working together. AMD is partnering across the ecosystem to deliver leadership compute and open platforms that give customers the perf...

For the first wave of generative AI, the interaction model was simple: tokens in, tokens out. A user entered a prompt, a model processed it, and the response appeared on screen. Most of the visible work happened during inference, often on a cloud GPU.   That model is now changing.   AI agents can read files, execute code, use client-side applications, call tools and complete multi-step tasks. In this new era, inference remains important, but generating tokens is only the first step. The new model is: Tokens in. Actions out. From answering questions to completing tasks   Consider the difference between asking an AI assistant how to file your taxes and asking an agent to help file them. The first task is largely a language problem. The second may require the agent to open documents, extract data, perform calculations, interact with software and validate the result.   This creates a continuous loop. The model decides what to do next, the agent calls a tool, the client C...

MANILA, Philippines — ASUS Philippines Corporation today announced the official Philippine availability of two new AI-powered business laptops: the ASUS ExpertBook P5 G2 and the ASUS ExpertBook P3 G2.

ASUS ExpertBook P5 G2: Maximum AI Performance for Power Users The ASUS ExpertBook P5 G2, available in 14-inch, is the AI laptop for work in the ExpertBook P Series — designed for power users in corporate, senior professionals, and SME leaders who demand the highest level of AI performance from their primary work device.   Exceptional AI Performance for Work Powered by up to the AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX processor with 55 NPU TOPS of dedicated neural processing, th...

At the  AMD Advancing AI  event last June, CEO and Chair Dr. Lisa Su described agentic AI as a new class of user: systems that are always active, continuously accessing data, applications, and services to make decisions and complete complex tasks. These systems rely on high-performance GPUs to generate insights in real time, but the surrounding infrastructure is just as important. As agentic AI activity grows, high-performance CPUs coordinate workflows, process and move data, and manage the many operations that occur around the model. While GPUs excel at the high-throughput parallel processing used in AI training and many inference tasks, modern AI deployments depend on balanced systems. CPUs, GPUs, networking, and software each play distinct roles in delivering performance at scale. Within these environments, CPUs orchestrate workloads, manage memory and data movement, and support the enterprise applications that run alongside AI models in production. That makes CPU performan...

Factory automation, physical AI in mobile robotics, and other AI-driven edge applications are rapidly evolving and driving the need for computing platforms that provide real-time AI processing, deterministic performance, and long-term reliability in always-on environments.   To meet these needs, AMD is expanding its  AMD Ryzen  AI Embedded P100 Series processor portfolio . New processors feature  up to 2x higher CPU core counts, up to 8x higher graphics processing unit (GPU) compute, and an estimated 36% higher system tera operations per second (TOPS) of performance compared with the previously announced P100 Series processors in the same compact ball grid array (BGA) package 1 .   New P100 Series processors offer AMD ROCm  software support, providing developers and system designers with an expanded and scalable portfolio of power-efficient edge computing solutions. The processors support real-time AI from vision to control and reasoning, offer ad...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping how we live, work, and solve some of the Philippines' most pressing issues, from boosting agricultural productivity and improving healthcare diagnostics to enhancing financial inclusion in rural areas. The Philippine government, through initiatives like the  National AI Strategy Roadmap 2.0 (NAISR 2.0) , is actively positioning the country as a regional AI powerhouse. While data centers are an essential component, they are only part of a broader, more holistic strategy that must incorporate a distributed computing approach, including AI-capable PCs and edge devices. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. AI's transformative potential is not limited to large urban centers. In a geographically diverse archipelago like the Philippines, with its archipelagic nature and many  geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDAs) , a centralized strategy presents significant challenges. Many rural communities still strug...

For AMD, July 2025 not only marks the 5-Year Anniversary of Ryzen Threadripper PRO but also the launch of the highly anticipated “Zen 5”-based generation of Threadripper, the new Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series. Announced a few weeks ago at Computex, the new Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series will be available in systems from AMD’s regional system integration partners as well as global OEMs, including Dell Technologies, HP, Lenovo and Supermicro starting July 23. DIY customers will also be able to purchase the new processors individually through AMD’s global network of channel partners. Engineered to adapt to the growing needs of AI with up to 96 “Zen 5” CPU cores, enhanced AVX-512 support, 8-channel DDR5-6400 memory and uncompromising PCIe® 5.0 connectivity for the latest high-end GPUs, this new generation of Threadripper PRO is the world’s fastest workstation processor available today1. Designed for professionals and businesses that demand top-tier performance, reliability and exp...
