AMD has officially launched its next-gen Ryzen AI 400 "Gorgon Point" CPUs for laptops, bringing better performance & improved features.
AMD Ryzen AI 400 "Gorgon Point" Refreshes Strix With 10-12% Faster Performance, Upgraded Features, & Even More Copilot+ Options To Choose From
AMD's Ryzen AI 400 "Gorgon Point" CPUs are now official. These chips are offered as a refresh to the existing Ryzen AI 300 "Strix Point" lineup, which has been available for a year now. The chips utilize the same CPU, GPU, and NPU architectures, such as Zen 5, RDNA 3.5, and XDNA 2, respectively. What AMD has done is essentially extract more performance through optimizations.
The AMD Ryzen AI 400 "Gorgon Point" Mobile family is aimed at users who want best-in-class CPU, GPU, NPU performance, multi-day mobility, and next-gen AI experiences. You will find mainstream, high-end & even enthusiast-level laptops featuring these chips, so there's something for all.
So what are the major updates with the Ryzen AI 400 lineup? Well, first of all, you will see some SKUs with updated core configurations, some with faster clocks, and some retaining similar capabilities as their older Strix Point predecessors. Certain highlights include:
- Up To 12 "Zen 5" Cores
- Up To 5.2 GHz Clocks (New)
- Up To 60 AI TOPS XDNA 2 NPU (New)
- Up To 16 RDNA 3.5 GPU Cores
- Up To 3.1 GHz GPU Boost Clock (New)
- Up To 8533 MT/s LPDDR5X Memory (New)
- AMD ROCm Support (New)
- Copilot+ PC Compliant
As you can see from the list, most of the features remain the same, and the clocks have been ticked up here and there. The 8533 MT/s memory is a nice upgrade over the 8000 MT/s support on the Strix Point line & ROCm support is also great.
In terms of SKUs, there are a total of 7 CPUs offered within the AMD Ryzen AI 400 lineup. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 is the flagship, featuring 12 cores (4 Zen 5 + 8 Zen 5C), 24 threads, up to 5.2 GHz boost clocks, 36 MB of combined cache, 60 NPU TOPs, and 16 RDNA 3.5 cores clocked at up to 3.1 GHz. This is also the fastest iGPU clock speeds that AMD has offered to date. Certain models also recieve a iGPU bump, while 50 TOPS NPU performance is standard across all Non-HX models.
Following is the full spec sheet of the Ryzen AI 400 lineup:

| Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 | 12/24 | 5.2 GHz | 36 MB | 55 TOPS | 16CU 890M @ 3.1GHz | 8533 MT/s | 15-54W |
| Ryzen AI 9 465 | 10/20 | 5.0 GHz | 34 MB | 50 TOPS | 12CU 880M @ 2.9GHz | 8533 MT/s | 15-54W |
| Ryzen AI 7 450 | 8/16 | 5.1 GHz | 24 MB | 50 TOPS | 8CU 860M @ 3.1GHz | 8533 MT/s | 15-54W |
| Ryzen AI 7 445 | 6/12 | 4.6 GHz | 14 MB | 50 TOPS | 4CU 840M @ 2.9GHz | 8000 MT/s | 15-54W |
| Ryzen AI 5 435 | 6/12 | 4.5 GHz | 14 MB | 50 TOPS | 4CU 840M @ 2.8GHz | 8000 MT/s | 15-54W |
| Ryzen AI 5 430 | 4/8 | 4.5 GHz | 12 MB | 50 TOPS | 4CU 840M @ 2.8GHz | 8000 MT/s | 15-54W |
For performance, AMD is first of all comparing the overall TOPS offered by its Ryzen AI CPUs, and Gorgon leads the charts with up to 60 TOPS versus up to 50 TOPS offered by Intel's Panther Lake chips. Compared to the 48 TOPS NPU on Lunar Lake, Gorgon delivers a 5.5% improvement in UL Procyon AI Vision test, & also leads in multi-tasking performance by up to 29%. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 is being compared at a 28W TDP versus a 30W TDP for the Lunar Lake Core Ultra 9 288V.
Moving over to creation performance, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 leads by 71% on average and over 2x in applications such as Blender and 7-Zip.
Gaming performance is crucial for these chips, and with the integrated NPU running at 3.1 GHz, users can expect a 12% boost on average versus the Intel Lunar Lake Xe2 iGPUs. Certain games, such as CS2, Black Myth Wukong, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Civilization V, showcase double-digit gains.
AMD also claims up to 24 hours of video playback and up to 20 hours of web browsing battery life, which means that users will be able to run the laptops for a longer duration without worrying about charging them.
The AMD Ryzen AI 400 "Gorgon Point" CPUs will be available in laptops, Mini PCs, AIOs, and even more platforms from leading partners.
AMD will also introduce Ryzen AI 400 PRO series processors, which will be available in late Q1 2026, and aim at the Enterprise PC segment.
