Performance Metrics
AMD released performance comparisons on its competing processors in the AI area, creation, and gaming.
- AI Performance: The NPU gives 60 TOPS at maximum value, thereby winning over other competitors. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 is 5.5% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 9 288V on the UL Procyon AI Vision test.
- Creation and Multitasking: The same processor is reported to be faster on average by 71% in several content creation workloads such as Blender and 7-Zip and by up to 29% faster in multitasking.
- Gaming: The built-in RDNA 3.5 GPU delivers around 12% of average performance improvement against Intel Lunar Lake Xe2 iGPUs at low quality settings in 1080p gaming.
- Battery Life: All-day video playback or 20 hours of web-browsing would be possible on an AMD laptop , according to AMD.
ROCm Software Updates and local AI
In parallel with the CPU launch, AMD has also made the announcement on ROCm version 7.2.7 which officially adds support for Ryzen AI 400 "Gorgon Point" APUs. Moreover, the update delivers up to a 5x performance improvement in the ComfyUI image generation suite over previous versions. AMD is enhancing its software integration for local AI by having direct and seamless support with ONNX, PyTorch on Windows, and TheRock Software Package, making Windows a prime battleground for ROCm.
Availability
Laptops, Mini PCs, and other devices with AMD Ryzen AI 400 "Gorgon Point" CPUs will be available starting Q1 2026. A corresponding series for enterprise PCs, also known as the Ryzen AI 400 PRO series, is expected to launch in late Q1 2026.
