AMD has announced another wave of its next-generation Ryzen 8000 Series of CPUs. The newly revealed lineup comprises 16 AMD Ryzen Pro processors in total, evenly divided between desktop and mobile CPUs.
A small portion of the newly debuted series has already been showcased over the preceding months, starting with the latest edition of CES in January 2024. Since then, AMD has released two Ryzen 8000 Series CPUs, the Ryzen 7 8700F and Ryzen 5 8400F, both of which hit the market at the beginning of April.
Two weeks later, the company is now launching 16 new next-gen processors meant to extend its 2024 offerings. The entire lineup is based on the Zen 4 AMD microarchitecture, which the tech giant touts as the template for the world's most performant x86 processors. Based on a 4nm process node, the series promises to deliver major power efficiency improvements compared to AMD's Ryzen 7000 Series CPUs, which are based on a 5nm lithography process. The product range also boasts cutting-edge connectivity features, including support for Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7. The latter standard has only been adopted in 2024 and is still far from widespread, but is expected to gain more market share over the coming years.

Half of the newly introduced offerings comprise the AMD Ryzen Pro 8040 Series processors, a lineup catering to gaming laptops and portable workstations. As with all AMD Ryzen mobile CPUs, this series seeks to balance high-end processing capabilities with efficient power consumption, boasting a thermal design power as low as 15 watts. The letters at the end of any given CPU's model number denote its intended form factor. E.g., the «HS» label identifies processors geared toward gaming and multimedia editing CPUs, whereas those ending with «U» have been designed for ultrathin notebooks and are hence maximally energy-efficient.
