Ryzen AI 400 Gorgon Point APUs are here: AMD claims 29% faster multitasking and 12% faster gaming vs Core Ultra 9 288V
CES 2026After tons of leaks and rumors, the Ryzen AI 400 APUs, formerly known as “Gorgon Point” chips, are here. AMD officially took the wraps off the processors at CES 2026. The series includes seven APUs with the 4-core Ryzen AI 5 430 at the bottom and the 12-core Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 at the top. AMD has also unveiled the Ryzen AI 400 Pro series APUs for desktops that are essentially the same APUs, but for enterprise systems.
Ryzen AI 400 Gorgon Point specs
As mentioned above, the Ryzen AI 400 series consists of seven APUs:
- 12-core/24-thread Ryzen AI 9 HX 475
- 12-core/24-thread Ryzen AI 9 HX 470
- 10-core/20-thread Ryzen AI 9 465
- 8-core/16-thread Ryzen AI 7 450
- 6-core/12-thread Ryzen AI 7 445
- 6-core/12-thread Ryzen AI 5 435
- 4-core/8-thread Ryzen AI 5 430
All Ryzen AI 400 APUs feature a mix of Zen 5/5c cores, XDNA 2 NPUs, and RDNA 3.5 iGPUs. For instance, the top-end SKU, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 475, rocks 4x Zen 5 + 8x Zen 5c cores, a 60 TOP NPU, and a Radeon 890M iGPU with 16 Compute Units.
Moreover, all Ryzen AI 400 series chips share a base clock of 2.0 GHz with differing boost clocks. The entry-level Ryzen AI 5 430 has a boost clock of up to 4.5 Ghz, while the Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 enjoys a 5.2 GHz max boost frequency.
For memory and cache, the Ryzen AI 400 series APUs feature up to 36 MB of L2+L3 cache and support for up to 8,533 MT/s memory.
AMD is once again using the Radeon 800M series iGPUs for the Ryzen AI 400 series. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 475/470 features a 16-CU Radeon 890M iGPU, with the 12-CU Radeon 880M, 8-CU Radeon 860M, and 4-CU Radeon 840M integrated in APUs down the stack.
Finally, the Ryzen AI 400 series can be configured between 15 W and 54 W, which means the Gorgon Point APUs will potentially power thin-and-light laptops, fast multimedia notebooks, and even gaming handhelds.
Ryzen AI 400 Gorgon Point performance and power efficiency
Per AMD, the flagship Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 is 29% faster than the Core Ultra 9 288V in multitasking in productivity apps like Microsoft Office and 71% faster in content creation workloads.
Team Red also claims that the Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 can manage 12% better average FPS at 1080p/low than the Core Ulta 9 288V with the Arc 140V iGPU. We have already analyzed the RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 890M and the Intel Arc 140V in a lot of detail. So, check out our performance reviews for both iGPUs.
Finally, AMD also claims that the Ryzen AI 400 APUs, such as the Ryzen AI 7 445, offer up to 24 hours of video playback. We will certainly put these statements to the test when laptops powered by the Ryzen AI 400 processors launch in the coming months.
