AMD Introduces Ryzen AI 400 Series Processors for Enhanced Mobile and Desktop Computing

At the Mobile World Congress 2026, AMD unveiled the Ryzen AI 400 Series and Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series desktop processors, marking an expansion of its Ryzen AI portfolio. These new processors are designed to enhance on-device AI acceleration, allowing users to efficiently run AI applications and large language models (LLMs) locally, particularly in demanding fields such as design and engineering.

The introduction of these processors enables original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to develop next-generation AI PCs for high-performance desktops, laptops, and mobile workstations, all optimized for contemporary workloads. The Ryzen AI 400 Series processors are notable for being the first to support Microsoft Copilot+ PC experiences. Equipped with a neural processing unit (NPU) that can deliver up to 50 TOPS of AI compute, these processors facilitate the operation of AI assistants and productivity tools directly on the PC, thereby enhancing privacy and control by keeping sensitive data local.

Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager of AMD's Computing and Graphics Group, emphasized the evolution of the desktop PC into an intelligent assistant, stating that the Ryzen AI 400 Series processors are designed to empower both enterprises and consumers in achieving more.

The Ryzen AI 400 Series desktop processors integrate high-performance "Zen 5" CPU cores, AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics, and the AMD XDNA 2 NPU, ensuring an efficient and responsive user experience across various professional workloads. These processors support an array of tasks from routine multitasking to advanced software development and data analysis, providing robust performance and AI capabilities in desktop environments.

Ryzen AI 400 Series processors are expected to be available in AM5 desktop systems from OEMs like HP and Lenovo starting in the second quarter of 2026.

The Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series mobile processors also continue to grow within AMD's commercial PC portfolio. The Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 model offers up to 30% faster multithreaded performance than the Intel Core Ultra X7 358, facilitating rapid iteration and testing for users. Additionally, these processors ensure strong power efficiency and extended battery life, thus boosting productivity throughout the day.

As businesses embrace AI, the Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series mobile processors facilitate advanced local AI experiences, enhancing productivity and streamlining workflows in commercial settings. The high-performance NPU provides up to 60 TOPS of AI compute, further aiding organizations in driving productivity while meeting professional performance expectations.

Mobile workstations utilizing the Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series processors are anticipated to launch in the second quarter of 2026 from OEMs such as Dell Technologies, HP, and Lenovo. These mobile workstations are designed with validated support for various professional applications, enabling them to harness full compute resources—including CPU, NPU, and GPU—for demanding engineering and creative workloads.

Furthermore, AMD PRO enhances enterprise-grade security and manageability, catering to the needs of IT operations aimed at securing investments over time. The AMD PRO platform's updates bolster both hardware and software support for organizations managing AI-enabled PC fleets, offering improved remote management capabilities to assist IT administrators in troubleshooting and maintaining system continuity without physical interventions.
