AMD Ryzen AI 7 445
The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is a powerful mobile processor from the Gorgon Point family that was announced at CES in early 2026. The APU integrates 6 CPU cores (2x Zen 5 with up to 4.6 GHz and 4x Zen 5c with less cache and a most likely maximum of 3.4 GHz) and 8 MB L3-Cache. The SoC is similar to the older but higher clocked AMD Ryzen AI 5 340.
Architecture and features
The Gorgon / Krackan Point family APUs are powered by Zen 5 and Zen 5c microarchitecture cores located in separate clusters, the latter being a slightly slower, smaller and more energy efficient version of the former. One of the differences between Zen 5 and Zen 5c is the size of the cache; the Zen 5 cores have larger caches available.
However, the mobile Zen 5 implementation is reportedly (ChipsAndCheese) is closer to desktop Zen 4 than desktop Zen 5 due to the different cache sizes, large differences in AVX-512 throughput, and other factors.
Elsewhere, the Ryzen AI 7 chip supports DDR5-5600 and LPDDR5x-8000 RAM, giving system designers a choice between lower latency and higher throughput. The chip is natively compatible with USB 4 (and therefore Thunderbolt). It has PCIe 4.0 support for a throughput of 1.9 GB/s per lane, just like its 8000 series predecessors. The integrated XDNA 2 NPU, which is much more complex than the first generation XDNA, delivers up to 50 INT8 TOPS for accelerating various AI workloads.
As usual with laptop CPUs, the Ryzen 5 AI chip cannot be replaced by the user as it is soldered.
Performance
With the given specs, the Ryzen 7 445 should be slightly slower than the old AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 which offers a similar core count but higher clock speeds.
Graphics
The Radeon 840M is a downscaled Radeon 890M that offers only 4 cores (CUs = 256 shaders) and clocks at up to 2.9 GHz. It uses the new RDNA 3.5 architecture.
Power consumption
The AI 445 is said to have a base TDP of 28 W, although laptop manufacturers are free to set the TDP between 15 and 54 W.
The 4 nm TSMC process with which these CPUs are manufactured ensures above-average energy efficiency.
