New Asus Vivobook S15 laptop reveals itself with AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 and 32 GB RAM

Asus has already confirmed that it will be bringing new laptops to CES 2026 next month in Las Vegas. So far, it has teased the release of a new Zenbook Duo. However, it looks like the company is preparing to introduce new ROG Zephyrus gaming laptops too.

Now, the next Vivobook S15 has surfaced on Geekbench. For context, Asus currently offers its 15.6-inch mid-range laptop with AMD Strix Point and Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors (curr. $999 on Amazon). Based on the benchmark embedded below, Asus will soon expand these options with AMD Gorgon Point APUs.

Specifically, the Vivobook S15 (M5650GA) features the Ryzen AI 9 465, a 10-core processor that should sit beneath only the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 in AMD's Gorgon Point line-up. Also equipped with a Radeon 880M iGPU, the Ryzen AI 9 465 is essentially a Ryzen AI 9 365, which Geekbench acknowledges by incorrectly referring to the former as a Strix Point chip.

These early benchmark scores underline that the Ryzen AI 9 465 will deliver around the same performance as the Ryzen AI 9 365, too. Currently, the main difference between the pair is expected to be a new XDNA 2 neural chipset, which should deliver a modest 10% performance increase to 55 TOPS. Presumably, the Vivobook S15 is one of many Vivobook laptops that Asus will introduce next month, based on past performance.
