Yesterday, we reported that AMD was preparing a new line of mobile processors – the Ryzen AI Max+ 400. At that time, it was mentioned that they would increase in frequency. Now, the full lineup has been revealed, and the frequency increase (at least based on current information) will be only in the top model – the Ryzen AI Max+ 495. Even then, the frequency will rise by just 100 MHz (for both the processor and the iGPU Radeon 8060S).

It’s noted that the FP11 packaging will remain unchanged, allowing notebook and mini-PC manufacturers to transition to Gorgon Halo without redesigning existing boards and cooling systems. The CPU frequency for the Ryzen AI Max+ 495 will be 5.2 GHz, and the GPU – 3.0 GHz. How much users will feel the 100 MHz increase is an open question. As for the rest of the lineup, they will repeat the characteristics of similar Ryzen AI Max+ 300 models. Therefore, based on current data, the Ryzen AI Max+ 400 series will simply be renamed Ryzen AI Max+ 300 series.
However, there is one aspect in which the new CPUs might improve – the performance of the neural processor. Current APUs deliver 50 TOPS, but data on the NPU performance of the Ryzen AI Max+ 400 is not yet available.

With these marginal changes, consumer reaction can be mixed. Some might perceive the series as merely a rebranding, potentially affecting buyer enthusiasm. Meanwhile, the performance of the neural processor is crucial, especially with increasing emphasis on integrating AI features into devices. This could attract a niche market segment dedicated to AI-centric applications. The rising focus on AI could drive further developments, but the market’s reception will heavily depend on concrete performance data and competitive pricing strategies.
