AMD Expands Ryzen AI Max 400 Series with 192 GB Memory to Run Big AI Models

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.
