The new Ryzen AI 400 series packs Zen 5 cores, RDNA 3.5 graphics, and XDNA 2 NPUs, promising faster AI performance and improved efficiency across work, gaming, and content creation.

AMD’s Ryzen CPU announcements this year fall firmly into the latter camp—these are all gently tweaked variants of chips that launched in 2024 and 2025.

AMD shows off its world-first 2nm EPYC 'Venice' CPU with Zen 6 cores, and the Instinct MI455X AI accelerator for its Helios AI racks.

AMD used CES 2026 to announce a new line-up of Ryzen AI processors to go up against Intel’s latest in thin-and-light laptops—and show how it’s fighting Nvidia in a new arena.

AMD unveils Helios AI rack, MI500 GPUs, AI PCs, and robotics vision at CES 2026, challenging Nvidia in AI computing.

Most chips you’ll see in laptops will max out with the Ryzen AI 7 450, an 8-core CPU with a 5.1GHz clock speed and 24MB cache with only a 50 TOPS NPU. Overall, it’s a subdued update to one of AMD’s most prevalent CPUs.

AMD shows off its new Ryzen AI Halo Mini-PC system at CES 2026: its answer to the NVIDIA DGX Spark, powered with its Strix Halo APU.

Last year, AMD debuted its Ryzen AI Max chips as a way to create a single piece of silicon with powerful CPU cores, GPU cores, NPUs and integrated memory, similar to Apple's home-brewed chips. At the time, AMD VP Joe Macri also noted that the existence of Apple Silicon helped make the Ryzen AI Max chips possible.

Su also teased additional details about its forthcoming MI500 series GPUs during her speech, saying that the chips, set to be launched in 2027, would deliver up to a 1,000x increase in AI performance compared to the AMD Instinct MI300X with AMD CDNA 6 architecture.
