AMD Brings Ryzen AI 400 APUs to AM5 Desktops With 50‑TOPS NPU

The Copilot+‑certified chips will ship only in OEM business PCs beginning in Q2 2026.

Overview

  • Initial desktop lineup tops out with Ryzen AI 7 450G at 8 cores/16 threads, paired with Radeon 860M graphics and offered in 65W G and 35W GE variants.
  • Every model integrates the XDNA 2 neural processor rated at up to 50 TOPS, while AMD’s mobile workstation HX parts reach up to 60 TOPS.
  • The parts mirror mobile silicon and cap desktop configurations at eight CPU cores and smaller iGPUs rather than the 12‑core, 16‑CU options seen in some laptops.
  • The processors target enterprise deployments under AMD’s Pro umbrella and carry Copilot+ certification, which helps explain the OEM‑only rollout.
  • The APUs fit the AM5 platform with DDR5 support reported up to 8,533 MT/s, and AMD cites over 200 commercial designs with partners including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP and Lenovo.
