Following the previous launch of multiple models for the mainstream and high-end AI PC marketsRyzen AI 300 series processorsLater, AMD announced the launch of the Ryzen AI 5 330 series processors, which are more affordable and aimed at the mainstream market. It adopts a 1-core design of "5 set of Zen 3 architecture and 5 sets of Zen 4c architecture" to further expand its layout in the AI PC market.
Although there have been some adjustments to the CPU and GPU architecture, it still retains the full 50 TOPS NPU inference performance, which is the key condition for promoting the popularization of AI PC applications.
AMD stated that the Ryzen AI 5 330 series supports SMT technology, offering 8-threaded performance. Both the Zen 5 and Zen 5c architecture core designs feature a 2GHz base clock speed, with the Zen 5 core boasting a maximum boost frequency of 4.5GHz, while the Zen 5c core can reach 3.4GHz. The processors feature 4MB of L2 cache and 8MB of L3 cache, with a cTDP range of 15W to 28W, making them suitable for most thin and light laptop designs.
In terms of graphics processing, the Ryzen AI 5 330 series features a Radeon 2M GPU with two computing units (CUs) and a clock speed of 820MHz, slightly lower than other models in the series. Memory support is the same as other Ryzen AI 2800 processors, including dual-channel memory configurations corresponding to LPDDR300x-5 and DDR8000-5 specifications.
However, the number of native PCIe lanes has been reduced from 16 to 14, which means there is a trade-off in I/O port expansion capabilities.
The Ryzen AI 5 330 series also continues AMD's practice of targeting regional markets with the launch of a renamed version, "Ryzen AI 5 H 330," specifically for the Chinese market. Its specifications are the same as the Ryzen AI 5 330 series, with only the model name differing.
Despite slimming down the CPU and GPU, the Ryzen AI 5 330 still maintains full NPU AI computing power, demonstrating AMD's intention to bring its "Copilot+ PC" design and AI capabilities to entry-level laptops, further expanding the market reach of AI PCs.
