The AMD Advantage laptop design framework incorporates AMD’s hardware systems, enabling the CPU and GPU to work together to better tune their performance, power consumption, and cooling levels to deliver the best performance and experience. In addition, AMD Advantage laptops are better optimized for various features supported by AMD Software Adrenalin Edition, further improving performance and the overall user experience.

For desktops, AMD Advantage plans are a little different, focusing more on hardware than software. All desktops with the AMD Advantage logo will use Ryzen 9 7950X / 7900X with Radeon RX 7900 XTX / XT, use a premium chassis, CPU water cooling, 32GB or more DDR5 memory with EXPO support, at least 2TB NVMe storage, at least 80PLUS gold power supply, etc. All desktops participating in the program are co-designed by the PC manufacturer and AMD engineers to ensure that these machines have efficient cooling and reliable power supply for maximum performance.

The Millennium AMD Advantage Edition of Origin PC is equipped with a Ryzen 9 7950X and a Radeon RX 7900 XTX, the CPU is water-cooled, and it uses an Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero motherboard and DDR5 memory that supports AMD EXPO. The monitor is the Odyssey Ark, which is the world’s first 55-inch 1000R curved gaming monitor equipped with a Quantum Mini-LED panel.

“AMD Advantage [for desktops] goes further than that by ensuring every component from the motherboard to the NVMe drives, from the memory to power supply to all the rest they all work seamlessly together and they are all tuned for maximum performance with every design and quality metric,” said Frank Azor, AMD’s gaming chief. “Whether you are gaming, streaming or creating, AMD Advantage desktops are being designed and developed with our partners to be the best desktops you could find in the market.”
