AMD today introduced the Ryzen AI 5 330, a mainstream mobile processor model for Microsoft Copilot+ ready notebooks at mainstream price-points. The processor comes with a slim CPU complex, but a full-featured NPU to locally accelerate Copilot+ and other edge AI use-cases. The processor comes with a configurable TDP of 15 W to 28 W, making it fit into most mainstream notebook form-factors with minimal cooling needs.

As for specs, the Ryzen AI 5 330 is based on a cut down variant of the 4 nm "Strix Point" monolithic silicon. Its CPU complex is 4-core/8-thread, although AMD didn't specify what the mix of "Zen 5" and "Zen 5c" cores is. It comes with 12 MB of "total cache" (L2+L3), which means the L3 cache is 8 MB, given that both the "Zen 5" and "Zen 5c" core types come with 1 MB L2 caches. The CPU cores are clocked at 2.00 GHz, with 4.50 GHz maximum boost frequency. Meanwhile, the iGPU model is dubbed Radeon 820M, and is configured with 2 compute units for 128 stream processors. The NPU, however, is the fully fledged XDNA 2 unit with 50 TOPS. We expect notebooks powered by the Ryzen AI 5 330 to be priced well under the $500 mark.
