At Mobile World Congress 2026, AMD announced an expanded Ryzen AI portfolio with new desktop parts and broader mobile coverage, positioning the Ryzen AI 400 Series as a single platform spanning high-performance desktops, laptops, and mobile workstations.
The company introduced the AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series and Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series desktop processors, along with an expanded Ryzen AI 400 Series mobile lineup that now targets workstation-class systems. This gives OEMs a common silicon platform to build what AMD and its partners are calling “next-gen AI PCs” across form factors.
Desktop: Ryzen AI 400 for Copilot+ and Local AI Workloads
Ryzen AI 400 Series desktop processors are AMD’s first desktop chips for next-generation AI PCs that support Microsoft Copilot+ PC features. A dedicated neural processing unit (NPU) based on AMD XDNA 2 provides up to 50 TOPS of AI compute, enabling local execution of AI assistants, productivity tools, and smaller LLMs without relying exclusively on cloud resources.
The architecture combines three primary blocks:
- “Zen 5” CPU cores for general-purpose compute and multithreaded performance
- AMD RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics for visual workloads and GPU-accelerated tasks
- An AMD XDNA 2 NPU for dedicated AI acceleration and offload
This configuration targets a broad set of desktop use cases that increasingly mix conventional and AI-assisted workloads. In practical terms, systems built around Ryzen AI 400 desktop processors are aimed at:
- Knowledge workers and office professionals running collaboration and productivity suites augmented by on-device AI features
- Developers and data professionals running code, analytics, and local AI tooling that can take advantage of CPU, GPU, and NPU concurrently
- Power users operating multi-application desktop environments where responsiveness and low-latency AI inference are important
Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager of AMD’s Computing and Graphics Group, framed the shift as a move from traditional PCs toward more intelligent, assistant-style systems that work alongside users. He positioned Ryzen AI 400 Series as AMD’s first desktop platform explicitly designed to power new Copilot+ experiences through on-chip AI acceleration, giving OEMs a path to build AI-capable desktops for both business and consumer segments.
AM5 desktop systems featuring Ryzen AI 400 Series processors from vendors such as HP and Lenovo are expected to arrive in the second quarter of 2026.
Mobile and Workstation: Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series
On the commercial side, AMD is extending its Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series beyond notebooks into mobile workstations, targeting professional workflows that rely on a mix of CPU, GPU, and NPU resources.
Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series mobile processors include an NPU rated at up to 60 TOPS of AI compute. By keeping more AI inference local to the device, these processors are designed to support:
- AI-enhanced productivity workloads across large commercial fleets
- Everyday AI-assisted workflows where latency, data locality, or connectivity constraints make on-device inference preferable
- Enterprise deployments that want to reduce dependence on cloud-only AI for certain classes of applications
AMD highlights the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 as a flagship part in the family. According to AMD, this processor delivers up to 30% faster multithreaded performance compared to Intel’s Core Ultra X7 3581, targeting compute-intensive professional workloads where faster iteration and testing translate directly into shorter project cycles. The platform is also positioned around strong power efficiency and “all-day” battery characteristics in appropriate notebook designs, with the intent of sustaining AI-assisted workflows over a full workday.

By extending Ryzen AI PRO 400 to mobile workstations, AMD is targeting professional designs with independent software vendor (ISV) validation. These systems are intended to accelerate applications that can take advantage of all three compute components:
- CPU for general-purpose, latency-sensitive work
- NPU for sustained, lower-power AI inference and background AI features
- GPU for graphics-heavy and parallel workloads such as visualization, rendering, and some AI frameworks
Mobile workstations powered by Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series processors are expected in the second quarter of 2026 from OEMs including Dell Technologies, HP, and Lenovo. Commercial notebooks based on the same family continue to broaden AMD’s footprint in business-focused mobile PCs.
Platform-level Features: AMD PRO for Enterprise Fleets
Underpinning the Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series is the AMD PRO feature set, which focuses on security, manageability, and long-term reliability for enterprise environments.
On the security and ecosystem side, AMD systems are validated for compatibility with most major commercial security solutions. This approach is intended to let organizations slot AMD-based systems into existing security stacks without significant changes, covering endpoint protection, identity, and broader compliance frameworks.
From a manageability perspective, AMD is evolving the PRO platform with expanded remote management capabilities aimed at distributed AI PC fleets. Enhanced remote visibility, recovery, and control features are designed to help IT administrators:
- Diagnose and remediate issues without physical access to the device
- Restore systems and maintain uptime for remote and hybrid workers
- Manage firmware, configuration, and security posture across large fleets of AI-enabled PCs
The focus is on reducing desk-side visits and simplifying operations as AI-capable endpoints proliferate across the organization.
Availability
Initial systems are slated to arrive in Q2 2026 from major OEMs, which will determine how quickly these AI-focused designs reach mainstream business and professional environments.
