Global innovation leader Lenovo is refreshing its suite of business PCs by releasing new ones equipped with AMD Ryzen processors for companies who wish to arrange a more robust work-from-home (WFH) setup. These are fully optimized with enhanced remote work capabilities and designed to take business computing at home to the next level with their faster processing power, anywhere-anytime productivity, and enterprise-level security features.

“Since the previous launch, the AMD Ryzen lineup has garnered nothing but praise from the tech industry for its efficient and fast processing speed even when used simultaneously for several intensive tasks. With work-from-home becoming the new normal work arrangement, we decided to integrate these powerful processors in our business solutions portfolio to further empower the remote workforce since they can significantly elevate the capabilities of our business laptops under different business environments,” said Michael Ngan, Lenovo Philippines President and General Manager.

 AMD Ryzen processors’ efficient yet powerful computing power is made possible through its “Zen” microarchitecture, which contains multiple cores and threads to do the computational heavy lifting. This allows the Ryzen processors to carry several of the distinct sets of commands and responses to calculate and render graphics, run software, and more, to make them the ideal processors for general office application, video conferencing, real-time analytics, code compilation, and 3D video rendering.

Meanwhile, the AMD Ryzen™ processors with PRO technologies not only come equipped with the multi-core and thread setup but also possess enterprise-level security features to safeguard sensitive information through its GuardMI technology. This features AMD Memory Guard to provide real-time encryption of system memory to help protect against physical theft, and AMD Secure Boot,a program that helps prevent unauthorized software and malware from taking over critical system functions and blocks malicious code and unauthorized software from loading during startup.
