AMD announces Ryzen AI 400 laptops and a broader local-AI software stack

AMD announced Ryzen AI 400 and PRO 400 at CES on 5 January, using Zen 5 CPU cores, Radeon integrated graphics and XDNA 2 neural processors. The range reaches twelve CPU cores and up to sixty NPU TOPS, with systems planned from major laptop makers during the first quarter.

AMD also announced ROCm 7.2 support for Windows and Linux and expanded local-AI tooling, alongside additional Ryzen AI Max+ configurations. Those software pieces affect which applications can use the hardware. TOPS describes a particular compute measure, rather than the speed of every AI workload or the capacity of model memory. The PRO range adds management and enterprise features, making a fleet purchase a broader decision than choosing the highest advertised accelerator figure.
