AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 vs AMD Ryzen AI 5 435
AMD Ryzen AI 5 430
► remove from comparison
The AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 or AMD Ryzen AI 5 H 430 is a lower-end processor from the Gorgon Point family. Unveiled in Jan 2026, the laptop APU sports 4 CPU cores (1x Zen 5 with up to 4.5 GHz and 3x Zen 5c with less cache and up to 3.4 GHz), a 50-TOPS NPU and a moderate RDNA 3.5 iGPU.
This new APU is quite similar to the Ryzen AI 5 330 from mid-2025, with the latter's slower iGPU being the main difference.
The China-targeted H version may have a set of hardware-accelerated cryptographic features different to the global chip.
Architecture and features
Gorgon Point family APUs are powered by Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, 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 their caches, with the latter having less.
The mobile Zen 5 implementation is reportedly (ChipsAndCheese) closer to desktop Zen 4 than desktop Zen 5 due to differences in cache sizes, AVX512 throughput and other factors.
Elsewhere, the Ryzen AI 5 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 300 series predecessors.
As usual with laptop CPUs, the Ryzen 5 AI chip cannot be replaced by the user down the line as it is soldered-in.
While not cutting-edge, the 4 nm TSMC process which the APU is manufactured on ensures decent energy efficiency, as of early 2026.
CPU performance
Due to having the same CPU specifications, the Ryzen AI 5 430 should offer the same performance as the older Ryzen AI 5 330, putting it close to the Ryzen 5 5600U, Core i7-1195G7, Core Ultra 7 164U.
GPU performance
The Radeon 840M only has a quarter of the Radeon 890M's 16 CUs (so 4 CUs, or 256 shaders) and runs at up to 2.8 GHz. It is not fast enough to run AAA 2025 games, even at resolutions like HD 720p with quality set to Low. Hardware AV1, VP9, HEVC and AVC decoding is supported, as are 8K 4320p monitors.
Power consumption
The Ryzen has a recommended base of 15 to 28 watts TDP that computer makers are free to adjust to their needs.
AMD Ryzen AI 5 435
► remove from comparisonThe AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 or AMD Ryzen AI 5 H 435 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 4.5 GHz and 4x Zen 5c with less cache and a most likely maximum of 3.4 GHz) and a big 16 MB or 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 5 435 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.
Power consumption
The AI 435 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.
