AMD unveils the Ryzen AI MAX 400 family (Gorgon Halo), pairing Zen 5 CPUs, RDNA 3.5 GPUs, and XDNA 2 NPUs with up to 192 GB of unified memory to run 300B+ parameter LLMs locally on a single chip, and up to 160 GB of VRAM. The lineup—MAX+ PRO 495, 490, and 485—offers higher clocks than the MAX 300 series, with launch expected in Q3 2026 through OEMs like ASUS, HP, and Lenovo, targeting professional AI and creator workloads.
AMD unveiled the Ryzen AI Max 400 series, a Strix Halo refresh that doubles down on memory: the SoC now supports up to 192 GB of LPDDR5X unified memory (up to 160 GB available to the iGPU), while Zen 5 CPUs boost to 5.20 GHz and RDNA 3.5 GPUs to 3.00 GHz, and the integrated NPU climbs to 55 TOPS. The lineup includes Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, Max PRO 490, and PRO 485, with consumer variants planned later. The memory upgrade targets AI workloads and 300B+ parameter LLMs, marking a major memory-focused refresh for Strix Halo.
AMD is refreshing its Ryzen AI MAX 400 lineup with the Gorgon Halo family, adding five SKUs that keep the same core specs as the Strix Halo/Strix but boost CPU/GPU clocks, speed up the NPU (targeting roughly 55–60 TOPS), and support LPDDR5X-8533 memory. The flagship MAX+ 495 uses Zen 5 cores (16C/32T) and a Radeon 8060S GPU with clocks raised to 3.1 GHz base, 5.2 GHz boost and 3.0 GHz GPU; other SKUs include MAX+ 492, MAX 490, MAX+ 488, and MAX 485 with varying CPU/GPU counts. All chips have a 55W base TDP (adjustable to 45W) up to 120W, and AMD plans a launch later this year or early next year alongside the Strix Halo refresh.
