AMD Unveils Ryzen AI 400 Series: Next-Generation AI Acceleration for Desktops and Mobile Workstations
At Mobile World Congress 2026, AMD introduced its expanded Ryzen AI portfolio, featuring the new AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series and Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series desktop processors. These processors are engineered to deliver advanced on-device AI acceleration and next-generation performance, empowering users to run AI applications and large language models (LLMs) locally. With robust compute capabilities, the new lineup is designed to handle demanding workloads in design, engineering, and productivity with ease.
Empowering OEMs with Next-Gen AI PC Solutions
The Ryzen AI 400 Series processors enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to develop high-performance AI PCs across desktops, laptops, and mobile workstations. These processors are the first to support Microsoft Copilot+ PC experiences on next-generation desktop AI PCs. Equipped with a neural processing unit (NPU) capable of delivering up to 50 TOPS (trillions of operations per second) of AI compute, users can run AI assistants and productivity tools directly on their devices. This local processing ensures sensitive data remains on the device, enhancing privacy, control, and performance.
Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager of AMD’s Computing and Graphics Group, highlighted the evolution of the desktop PC: “The desktop PC is evolving from a tool you use to an intelligent assistant that works alongside you. With the Ryzen AI 400 Series processors—the world’s first designed to power new Copilot+ experiences on the desktop—we’re bringing powerful AI acceleration that enables our partners to build systems that empower both enterprises and consumers to do more and create more.”
Ryzen AI 400 Series: The First Copilot+ Desktop Processors
The AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series desktop processors are built to deliver scalable performance and intelligent features for professional workloads. By combining high-performance “Zen 5” CPU cores, AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics, and a dedicated AMD XDNA 2 NPU, these processors offer the responsiveness, efficiency, and local AI acceleration required by office professionals, developers, and power users. Whether for multitasking, collaboration, software development, data analysis, or AI-assisted workflows, the Ryzen AI 400 Series ensures consistent performance and on-device intelligence for modern desktop environments.
AM5 desktop systems powered by Ryzen AI 400 Series processors are expected to be available from OEMs such as HP and Lenovo starting in the second quarter of 2026.
Expanding AI Leadership to Notebooks and Mobile Workstations
AMD continues to broaden its commercial PC portfolio with the introduction of Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series mobile processors. OEM partners are launching a wide range of commercial notebooks powered by these processors. The Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470, for example, delivers up to 30% faster multithreaded performance compared to the Intel Core Ultra X7 358, accelerating compute-intensive professional workloads and enabling users to iterate, test, and deliver results more efficiently. With strong power efficiency and all-day battery life, systems powered by Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series processors bring advanced AI acceleration and Copilot+ PC experiences to mobile devices.
As organizations accelerate AI adoption, Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series mobile processors provide next-generation local AI experiences that enhance productivity and streamline workflows across commercial notebooks and mobile workstations. Featuring a high-performance NPU delivering up to 60 TOPS of AI compute, these processors leverage advanced on-device AI acceleration to deliver measurable efficiency gains, helping enterprises drive productivity at scale while maintaining the performance and responsiveness professionals expect.
Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series mobile processors will also power next-generation workstations, offering validated support for independent software vendors (ISVs) and optimized application enablement for leading professional workflows. Mobile workstations equipped with these processors are designed to accelerate demanding engineering, creative, and technical workloads by utilizing all available compute resources, including the CPU, NPU, and GPU.
Mobile workstations powered by Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series processors are expected to be available from OEMs such as Dell Technologies, HP, and Lenovo starting in the second quarter of 2026.
Enterprise-Grade Security and Manageability with AMD PRO
AMD PRO technology delivers enterprise-grade security, manageability, and reliability through a robust combination of hardware and software. The AMD PRO platform continues to evolve, strengthening its silicon foundation and software stack to support enterprise IT teams managing distributed AI-enabled PC fleets. Enhanced remote management features provide improved visibility, recovery, and control, allowing IT administrators to diagnose issues, restore systems, and maintain business continuity without requiring on-site intervention.
AMD systems are validated for compatibility with major commercial security solutions, ensuring seamless integration into existing enterprise environments. This compatibility helps organizations protect their device fleets within established security ecosystems, supporting long-term IT investments and operational efficiency.
