YOGYAKARTA AMD Ryzen 840 is fresh news in the world of technology. The new processor is designed to be able to run a local generative AI program on devices. This processor, which has a Hawk Point codename, has an Zen 4 architectural CPU. However, this processor will run faster AI processing due to the XDNA NPU.

The announcement of the new AMD processor was made at the AI Advancing Event in San Jose, California which is planned to be used in the 2024 Laptop device.

This processor is said to be similar to its predecessor, Ryzen 7040, which also has Artificial Intelligence (AI) computing capabilities. The Ryzen 7040 Series and Ryzen 840 Series are both equipped with NPU (Neural Processing Unit) units that support AI computing. The NPU also makes computation faster. XDNA

However, the AI performance embedded in the Ryzen 840 Series has improved even though the NPU is both using the XDNA architecture. In addition, this series has a performance of 16 NPU TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second), while its predecessor, Ryzen 7040 Series, has a performance of 10 NPU TOPS. This condition makes the Ryzen 840 Series even faster up to 1.4x in the Generative AI scenario.

Interestingly, AMD said that several well-known Softwares took advantage of AI capabilities in the Ryzen 84040 Series, including leveraging AI's ability to speed up editing processes.

Judging from its GPU, the Ryzen 840 Series uses the RDNA3 architecture. This makes the performance of this series able to beat the 13th generation Intel processor (Raptor Lake) on gaming and Cinebench testing and Geekbench.

Meanwhile, the number of Core and Clock Speed also resembles its predecessor. However, this processor can still compete with its competitor product, Intel Core i9 13900H.

Meanwhile, there are 9 variants of Ryzen 840 Series processors, consisting of the HS Series and U Series. The HS Series will be used on a thin-bodified High Performance Laptop, while the U Series will be for thin, lightweight laptops, with the use of daily activities.

It is planned that the AMD Ryzen 840 processor will begin to arrive in the 2024 I-quarters. Acer's leading laptop manufacturer is said to be ready to use this chip on their gaming laptop product, Nitro V16. The laptop will be launched in March next year.

Quoted from various sources, the Nitro V16 gaming laptop has a Ryzen kitchen 7 8845 HS, one of the AMD Ryzen 840 line variants. In addition, this laptop will carry Nvidia's GPU GeForce RTX 40 Series.

Nitro V16 RAM capacity will use DDR5--600 to 32 GB, while the SSD will reach 2 TB PCIe Gen 4. For Nitro V16 screen sizes, it will be 16 inch ratio 16:10. This laptop has several ports, namely one USB 4 port type C, one USB 3 port type A, HDMI, and has a microSD card reader. Regarding connectivity, Nitro V16 will be equipped with Wi-Fi 6E.

It is not certain when Acer will launch Nitro V16, but the launch will first take place on the North American market in March 2024. Meanwhile, other markets will follow the following month, April 2024.

The price of Nitro V16 will be sold for 999 US dollars or around Rp. 15.5 million. However, it is not certain when it will arrive in Indonesia and how much the selling price will be.
