The AMD Ryzen processor-based and Athlon processor-based Chromebooks 'deliver the combined CPU, graphics and overall performance needed to stay productive and breeze through the high demands of distance learning and remote working,' AMD said in a blog posted Tuesday.ĪMD says its CPUs are used in one out of five Chromebooks. It has an eye in particular on the education market, where notebook sales are surging as schools increasingly turn to remote computing options in the wake of coronavirus restrictions on in-school learning. Performance for multitasking and web performance, they say, will be double old levels.ĪMD hopes to make inroads in three key markets for Chromebooks: education, enterprise and consumer.
