AMD has shared new details about its upcoming Ryzen AI 400 series processors at CES 2026. The new laptop chips, internally called Gorgon Point, will launch in the first quarter of 2026. They are positioned as a refreshed generation of AMD’s AI-focused processors for thin and light laptops.
The Ryzen AI 400 series continues to use Zen 5 and Zen 5c CPU cores along with RDNA 3.5 graphics. While the overall core counts remain similar to the previous Ryzen AI 300 series, AMD has focused on higher clock speeds, faster memory support, and a more powerful AI engine.
At the top of the lineup is the Ryzen AI 9 HX 475. It features 12 CPU cores and 24 threads, a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, and a total cache of 36MB. The chip also includes a Radeon 890M integrated GPU with 16 compute units and boost clocks reaching up to 3.1GHz. Memory support has been improved as well, with speeds going up to 8,533 MT/s.

AMD has announced seven laptop processors in total under the Ryzen AI 400 family. Higher-end models offer stronger graphics and faster memory, while entry-level chips still focus on efficiency and AI performance. The power range stays flexible, with configurable TDPs between 15W and 54W, depending on the laptop design.
One of the biggest upgrades is the new XDNA 2 NPU. The AI engine can deliver up to 60 TOPS, which helps laptops meet Copilot+ PC requirements and handle local AI tasks such as image processing, background effects, and smart productivity features.
AMD says these new chips are faster than Intel’s current Core Ultra lineup in key areas. According to the company, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 offers better multitasking, content creation, and gaming performance at similar power levels. AMD also claims up to 24 hours of battery life on select models, though direct comparisons were not shared.
Alongside the laptop processors, AMD confirmed it is working on its first Copilot+ desktop processor. The company did not reveal specifications or a launch timeline, but it confirmed that the chip will also use Zen 5 CPU cores, RDNA 3.5 graphics, and an XDNA 2 NPU.
AMD also expanded its Ryzen AI Max lineup, known as Strix Halo. While there is no new generation this year, AMD is adding two new models below the flagship Ryzen AI Max+ 395. These new chips keep the same strong integrated graphics, which AMD says continue to outperform Intel’s offerings in gaming workloads.
AMD has made it clear that Strix Halo remains a niche product aimed at high-performance laptops. Availability has been limited so far, and the company does not expect these chips to appear in a wide range of devices.
