AMD Also Launches the Ryzen PRO 7000 AM5 Processors for Commercial Desktops

In addition to the Ryzen PRO 7045 series mobile processors for commercial notebooks, AMD announced the Ryzen PRO 7000 processors for commercial desktops. These are desktops deployed by medium-large businesses and enterprises in their offices, which remain connected to the enterprise network at all times, and require remote management and security features. This particular segment is addressed by Intel using its 13th Gen Core vPro processors. The Ryzen PRO 7000 processors are based on the Socket AM5 platform, which is ready for next-generation connectivity. AMD is also introducing a new motherboard chipset to go with these processors, although they are compatible with consumer AMD 600-series chipset motherboards.

The Ryzen PRO 7000 series processor models being launched today are based on the "Raphael" MCM, which depending on the model, comes with one or two 5 nm "Zen 4" CCDs, and a 6 nm I/O die. What makes these processors especially formidable compared to past attempts by AMD at commercial desktop processors, is that while the previous-generation chips were based on monolithic APU dies for their integrated graphics; these chips are based on the full-featured MCM for this generation, with integrated graphics as standard. AMD's decision to make integrated graphics standard should prove particularly helpful for adoption in the commercial desktop space.
AMD is launching three processor models today based on CPU core-count. These include the Ryzen 9 PRO 7945, the Ryzen 7 PRO 7745, and the Ryzen 5 PRO 7645. The Ryzen 9 PRO 7945 is a 12-core/24-thread processor clocked at 3.70 GHz base, with up to 5.40 GHz boost. The Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 is an 8-core/16-thread chip; and the Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 a 6-core/12-thread chip. All three get integrated graphics, and have their TDP rated at 65 W.

The CPU cores of these processors are based on the "Zen 4" microarchitecture; each features a 1 MB dedicated L2 cache, and shares 32 MB of L3 cache on the PRO 7645 and PRO 7745; or 64 MB of L3 cache on the PRO 7945. The integrated graphics is based on the RDNA2 graphics architecture, and features two compute units worth 128 stream processors, and a display engine that supports up to two 4K Ultra HD displays, with enough power for non-gaming use-cases. The media accelerator supports hardware-accelerated AV1.
What sets these processors apart from regular Ryzen 7000 processors is their AMD PRO feature-set, that includes AMD 6-layer security that includes AMD Secure Enclave, Memory Guard (memory encryption), Microsoft Pluton support (FIPS 140-3 Level 2 and Level 1 certification); and AMD Shadow Stack. The AMD PRO stack also includes remote-management features that are relevant to the commercial-desktop space. The I/O features of these processors include a dual-channel (4 sub-channel) DDR5 memory interface with native support for DDR5-5200, and a PCI-Express 5.0 x28 root complex, with Gen 5 x16 PEG, and two CPU-attached Gen 5 x4 links for NVMe SSDs; with the remaining lanes dedicated to the chipset bus.

While AMD hasn't made specific announcements related to design wins, one can expect leading commercial desktop manufacturers such as Lenovo and HP, to offer AMD Ryzen PRO 7000 as processor options for their popular desktop models, in the near future.

I start to wonder when stuff like this is developed. Who are they big companies paying attention too? The support for this CPU 2025 - is within 2 years. As soon as you get your system going - flat line no support - wow!

People actually care about integrated GPU support?

My comments should have said - CPU 2025+ That does not sound long at all. I am new to this so if I am in error. I can take it.

It's for the socket, not the CPU. They mean that all new AMD CPUs for the next 2+ years will use the same AM5 socket, after that new CPUs will use another socket (probably AM6). So if you buy a new CPU in 2026+, you probably can't put it in your old 2023 motherboard.

Let me guess Windows 12 will require a Pro cpu when it arrives. TPM is for wimps.
