AMD Announces Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series Desktop CPUs For AI-Focused Computing

AMD is using Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona this week to announce new Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series products, including Ryzen AI PRO 400 desktop processors.

Complementing the existing Ryzen AI PRO 400 series, which complemented the Ryzen AI 400 series (non-PRO) introduction earlier this year at CES, is now new mobile workstation offerings. Still Zen 5 and RDNA 3.5 based.

While what Phoronix readers will likely find most interesting is the new Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series desktop processors. These are Zen 5 desktop socketed processors but now having the Ryzen AI NPU onboard for complementing local AI inference workloads.

Ryzen AI PRO 400 series desktop processors will be available in up to 8 core / 16 thread Zen 5 configurations with up to 8 RDNA 3.5 GPU compute units and the XDNA 2 NPU rated for 50 TOPS.

The Ryzen AI PRO 400 series desktop CPUs being announced today include the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G, Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G / 440GE, and the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G / 435GE. The G processors are 65 Watt SKUs while the GE variants are 35 Watts.

The Ryzen AI 400 series commercial designs are expected to appear in Q2.

That’s the brief overview for now with the limited information shared in advance of today’s embargo lift for MWC 2026. More details and Linux benchmarks once having any hardware to test. It will be interesting to see if they can make the AMD Ryzen AI / XDNA story any more compelling for Linux users ahead of the new hardware appearing next quarter given the rather limited software ecosystem adoption thus far.
