AMD announced its new Ryzen AI 400 series of processors during the CES 2026 exhibition in Las Vegas on January 5, 2026. They are processors designed for laptops and desktops with a strong focus on artificial intelligence performance and integrated graphics. This series is an update to the Ryzen AI 300 (Strix Point), with improvements in efficiency and power to meet the needs of high-performance hardware.
The series includes flagship models such as the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 with 16 Zen 5 cores and the RDNA 3.5 GPU with 40 compute units, and the Ryzen AI 9 465 with 12 cores, with a 50 TOPS NPU for AI tasks. The integrated graphics deliver performance of up to 128 TFLOPs per FP16, making it capable of running games at 1080p resolution at high settings without a separate graphics card, and supporting generative AI tasks such as Stable Diffusion very efficiently.
The processors support LPDDR5X-8533 memory with a capacity of up to 128 GB, with power consumption ranging between 15 and 55 watts for laptops, and higher options for desktops. AMD is touting it as a powerful alternative to Intel Lunar Lake and Apple M4 processors in laptops, with graphics performance that outperforms the mobile RTX 4050 in some scenarios.
The processors will appear in laptops from ASUS, HP, Lenovo and others starting in the first quarter of 2026, with desktops later. AMD has not announced specific prices for the processors, but it is expected that the prices of computers equipped with them will range between 1,200 and 2,500 US dollars, depending on the configuration.
