AMD announces an expanded Ryzen AI portfolio with the launch of the AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series and Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series desktop processors. The new processors deliver on-device AI acceleration and performance, enabling users to run AI applications and large language models locally and tackle compute-intensive applications, including those for design and engineering, with ease.
Additionally, AMD is expanding the Ryzen AI 400 Series mobile portfolio to include workstations.
Ryzen AI 400 Series processors enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to offer next-gen AI PCs across high-performance desktops, laptops and mobile workstations optimized for modern workloads, AMD reports.
These Ryzen AI 400 Series processors for next-generation desktop AI PCs support Microsoft Copilot+ PC experiences. Featuring a neural processing unit (NPU) providing up to 50 TOPS of AI compute, these processors enable users to run AI assistants and productivity tools locally on the PC.
The AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series desktop processor family is designed to deliver scalable performance and intelligent capabilities across professional workloads. The processors combine high-performance “Zen 5” central processing unit (CPU) cores, AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics, and a dedicated AMD XDNA 2 NPU. Their application use ranges from everyday multitasking and collaboration to software development, data analysis, and AI-assisted workflows.
Ryzen AI 400 Series Desktop Availability
AM5 desktop systems powered by Ryzen AI 400 Series processors are expected to be available starting in the second quarter of 2026 from OEMs including HP and Lenovo.
Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series mobile processors enable next-generation local AI experiences that enhance productivity and streamline everyday workflows across commercial notebooks and mobile workstations. The processors feature a high-performance NPU delivering up to 60 TOPS of AI compute, and leveraging advanced on-device AI acceleration.
Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series mobile processors will also power next-generation workstations. With updated application enablement across professional workflows, mobile workstations powered by Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series processors are designed to boost professional applications that use all compute resources, including the CPU, NPU, and graphics processing unit (GPU) for engineering, creation, and technical workloads.
Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series Mobile Workstation Availability
Mobile workstations powered by Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series processors are expected to be available starting in the second quarter of 2026 from OEMs including Dell Technologies, HP and Lenovo.
