AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U, Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U, and Ryzen 3 Pro 4450U now official and set to debut on the Lenovo ThinkPad T14, T14s, X13, and more

After AMD announced the Ryzen 4000U series for consumer laptops, it was only a matter of time before AMD announced the parallel Ryzen PRO 4000U series for business laptops. The 7 nm Zen 2 Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U, Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U, and Ryzen 3 Pro 4450U are set to replace the 12 nm Zen+ Ryzen 7 Pro 3700U, Ryzen 5 Pro 3500U, and Ryzen 3 Pro 3300U, respectively.

Much like the jump from the consumer Ryzen 3000U series to the Ryzen 4000U series, the new Ryzen Pro 4000U series will bring significant gen-to-gen performance and power consumption advantages. Even the lowest-end Ryzen 3 Pro 4450U is expected to perform nearly the same as last year's top-end Ryzen 7 Pro 3700U. The red chipmaker promises up to 33 percent faster multi-thread performance between the Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U and the consumer Intel Core i7-10710U since Intel has yet to officially announce competing Comet Lake-U vPro options.

Speaking of vPro, the AMD Pro CPUs will match vPro Security, AMT, and SIPP with Pro Security, Pro Manageability, and Pro Business Ready, respectively. AMD Memory Guard will be making a return as well. The entire new stack will share these same security features from the Ryzen 7 all the way down to the Ryzen 3.

A huge problem with last year's Zen+ Pro series was that the CPUs were barely present on any business laptops. AMD is promising that the new Zen 2 Pro family will debut on more laptops starting first on the Lenovo ThinkPad T14, T14s, X13, L14, and L15 later this year.
