AMD's A/NZ Country Manager Pete Chambers talks about the HP ZBook Ultra G1a and Ryzen AI Pro Max

LAUNCH VIDEOS: HP's ZBook Ultra G1a 14-inch Mobile Workstation PC with AMD Ryzen AI Pro MAX processor runs LLMs on device, far surpasses regular laptops

This video is from earlier this year, and things move fast in the world of tech, so by the time you read this, check for the latest models, but wow - the mind-blowing power of a superfast workstation in an ultra-thin and light laptop with long lasting battery is available to anyone!

AI-powered productivity for professionals and creatives is an everyday reality for professionals, businesses and creatives. This means next-gen AI PC features, including local-AI large language modelling, generative content creation, design engineering can be done without needing to go to the cloud.

The Ryzen AI Pro MAX processor inside the HP ZBook Ultra G1a https://www.hp.com/au-en/workstations... is powered by up to 16 “Zen 5” CPU cores, 40 RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics cores, and an AMD XDNA 2 Neural Processing Unit (NPU) with up to 50 TOPS of AI processing ability - blowing past regular laptops with traditional processors, or ARM processors running Windows 11 with ease.

Indeed, you can configure this unit with up to 128GB of innovative unified memory architecture and the ability to assign up to 96GB RAM to the GPU, meaning you can enjoy seamless multitasking between applications at incredible speeds, transforming the the future of work.

Security is also a massive considering, with HP’s advanced security suite featuring Wolf Security for Business designed to provide resilience against external attacks and emerging cyber threats, including those from evolving quantum cryptography.

Aman Sangar, HP ANZ Category Manager said: "At HP, we are constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation to meet the evolving needs of today’s professionals and the future of work.

“I believe that the launch of the ZBook Ultra G1a marks a significant milestone in the evolution of mobile workstations, offering an unrivaled combination of power, performance, and portability”.

Unleashing the power of LLM

One of the ZBook Ultra G1a’s latest features is its ability to work locally with Large Language Models (LLM). Thanks to the AMD unified memory architecture with next generation compute performance, developers are now able to run LLM software like Meta’s Llama 70B and Mistral AI’s Mixtral 8x7B, all on a thin and light 14” mobile workstation. The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO Series processors also include powerful ISV-certified graphics, support AMD PRO Technologies security and reliability features, and leverage the intrinsic advantages of integration to push the boundaries of what’s possible in a mobile, compact workstation.
