AMD unveils Ryzen AI Max Pro 400 series chips with 192GB memory: All details

AMD has just unveiled its new Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 series processors with the intention to power the next generation of AI-focused PCs and workstations. The company says these chips are designed for heavy AI workloads that usually depend on cloud servers or high-end desktop systems. The processors come with a whopping 192GB unified memory, which allows the processor, graphics, and AI engine to access the same memory pool for faster performance. AMD also claims these are the world’s first x86 client processors capable of running 300-billion-parameter AI models locally.

AMD unveils Ryzen AI Max Pro 400 series processors

In the aforementioned blog post, AMD noted, “To move from simple chatbots to autonomous real-time agents, developers and enterprises need a local execution layer capable of meeting agentic AI’s massive memory and low-latency requirements. AMD meets these needs by enabling developers, businesses and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to deliver advanced AI workloads and intelligent agents to local PCs with ease.”

The company then revealed the Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 series chips. Getting a bit into details, the new Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 series processors are built on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture and are designed for commercial AI PCs, mobile workstations, and compact desktop systems. These processors combine CPU, graphics, and AI processing into a single chip, reducing the need for separate graphics cards in many professional workloads.

AMD says the processors are meant for developers, engineers, and creators who work with demanding AI applications, simulations, and content creation tools. The company is also focusing heavily on local AI processing instead of cloud-based computing. This means AI tasks can run directly on the device, which can improve response times and help keep sensitive data more secure.

The company also announced an upgraded Ryzen AI Halo developer platform that will arrive later this year with Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 series chips. This updated platform will support up to 192GB unified memory and 160GB VRAM. OEM partners like HP and Lenovo are expected to launch devices powered by these processors in the third quarter of 2026.

Specs and other details

The top-end Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor features 16 cores and 32 threads with boost clock speeds of up to 5.2GHz. It comes with 80MB cache, Radeon 8065S graphics, and delivers up to 55 TOPS AI performance. AMD has also included 40 graphics compute units and support for up to 192GB unified memory.

Meanwhile, the Ryzen AI Max PRO 490 comes with 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 offers 8 cores and 16 threads. Both chips also support up to 192GB unified memory and feature Radeon 8050S graphics.

AMD says the processors combine RDNA 3.5 graphics architecture with its XDNA 2 AI engine to handle AI tasks, graphics rendering, and professional workloads on a single system. The Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 series processors will be available through leading OEM partners in the third quarter of 2026.
