AMD launches its Ryzen AI 400 series of mobile CPUs

AMD boosts its Ryzen AI CPU lineup for 2026

AMD has officially unveiled its Ryzen AI 400 series of processors, confirming that they will have both mobile and desktop counterparts. Yes, that means AMD will soon release its first Copilot+ desktop processors, further proliferating NPU-enhanced AI computing.

While AMD’s Ryzen AI 400 series isn’t using next-generation architectures, AMD has reworked its processors to deliver higher performance levels in all categories. That means stronger CPU performance, GPU performance, and NPU performance. It also means optimised power use, enabling a longer battery life for mobile users. Additionally, AMD has been working to optimise AI software for its silicon, enabling further performance gains.

Ryzen AI 400 series improvements

With the Ryzen AI 400 series, AMD has increased its maximum CPU and GPU clock speeds. However, the largest upgrade comes from AMD’s NPU. AMD has upgraded its NPU from 50 AI TOPS to up to 60 AI TOPS, a 20% improvement. Furthermore, AMD has delivered LPDDR5X-8533 memory support, a notable upgrade from the Ryzen AI 300 series’ LPDDR5X-8000 support.

Maximum GPU boost clock speeds have moved from 2.9 GHz to 3.1 GHz. Maximum CPU boost clocks have also moved from 5.1 GHz to 5.2 GHz. Small gains, but welcome ones. With its new Ryzen AI 400 series laptops, AMD claims that its processors can deliver multi-day mobility and ample performance for all workloads.

Below are the specifications of AMD’s AI 400 series CPU lineup. Note that AMD’s lower-end CPU models do not support LPDDR5X-8533 memory.

AMD’s new Ryzen 400 series laptops will be available starting this quarter. AMD has not unveiled a release date for its upcoming desktop Ryzen AI processors.
