AMD Unveils Ryzen AI 400 Desktop APUs: 8 CPU & GPU Cores, 50 TOPS, AM5 Socket Support

AMD has officially announced its Ryzen AI 400 Desktop APUs, featuring up to 8 CPU & 8 GPU cores on the AM5 platform.

AMD Finally Brings Strix Point To AM5 Desktops With Ryzen AI 400 APUs, Currently Limited To OEMs

AMD's Ryzen AI 400 APUs are finally coming to Desktop PCs, bringing the Strix Point architecture to more audiences. The new APUs feature the beloved Zen 5 CPU architecture, alongwith the first outing of RDNA 3.5 for desktop iGPUs. These APUs also bring the fastest NPU, XDNA 2, to desktops, so let's start with the full rundown of what the new series has to offer.

First of all, AMD is calling its Ryzen AI 400 Desktop APUs the World's first next-gen AI desktop CPU with Copilot+ PC support. These APUs are designed to offer desktop-class performance with mobile-level efficiency, enabling them to run cool and quiet, and offering compact designs based on the AM5 platform.

As for a high-level spec overview, the AMD Ryzen AI 400 lineup will consist of six SKUs. The desktop lineup includes the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G/450GE, Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G/440GE, and the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G/435GE. The "G" series chips feature the RDNA 3.5 iGPU, while the "GE" chips don't feature integrated graphics.

Starting with the specifications, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G series APUs feature up to 8 cores and 16 threads, with boost clocks of 5.1 GHz, 24 MB of combined cache, and Radeon 860M iGPU with 8 compute units. The Ryzen AI 5 series features 6 cores, 12 threads, up to 4.8 GHz clocks, 22 MB of cache, and a Radeon 840M iGPU with 4 compute units. All APUs feature 50 XDNA 2 NPU, AMD Pro Technologies, and the aforementioned Copilot+ support.

It is interesting that AMD isn't bringing out full capabilities for desktop platforms yet. The Strix & Gorgon APUs on mobile platforms feature up to 12 CPU cores and up to 16 RDNA 3.5 compute units. So there's quite a difference in what the desktop and mobile platforms offer in terms of capabilities.

Also, while the AMD Ryzen AI 400 lineup is designed for AM5 Desktops, the lineup will initially be limited to OEMs only. A standard DIY launch is not expected yet, but based on previous releases, we can expect it a few months after the Q2 2026 commercial availability. AMD is working with various partners, including Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo, to bring Ryzen AI 400 Desktop APUs to shelves.
