    Agentic AI workloads are about 80% CPU-bound, AMD and mimik find

    AIRecent mimik tests of agentic workflows on AMD Ryzen AI Embedded X100 processors found about 80% of operations were CPU-bound, covering coordination, orchestration, scheduling and reporting. The post argues that CPUs play a major role in agentic AI rather than GPUs alone, and that heterogeneous compute matters for deploying it at the edge. A full interview with mimik founder and CEO Fayarjomandi is linked.
