AMD Unveils Agentic PCs Based on Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 400
IT DAILY ·
✦ AI Summary
AMD has officially launched an enterprise agentic PC lineup powered by the next-generation x86 Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 400 series.
The lineup supports up to 192GB of unified memory and local execution of models with up to 300 billion parameters, with the flagship product being the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495.
AMD said it is bringing hardware equipped with the processor to market through partnerships with HP, Framework, GMKtec and Lenovo, while also providing compatibility with Windows, Linux, PyTorch, vLLM, Ollama and llama.cpp.
AMD has officially launched an enterprise agentic PC lineup powered by the next-generation x86 Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 400 series.
The product line built around the new processors features up to 192GB of unified memory and is designed to run large AI models directly in a local environment without cloud connectivity. The largest model it can run locally is up to 300 billion parameters.
The flagship product in the new lineup is the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495.
The lineup combines up to 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, 40 GPU compute units and a 55 TOPS NPU.
The system has 192GB of unified memory, with up to 160GB allocated exclusively for GPU operations. That is 1.67 times more memory capacity than the previous generation. Based on 4-bit quantization (INT4), it can handle a 300B-class large model on a single device. AMD said this helps remove memory bottlenecks when running complex agentic workflows.
AMD said the local computing infrastructure can fundamentally prevent internal source code and confidential documents from leaking outside the company. It also said it can reduce cloud token costs that accumulate through repeated inference calls. In addition, AMD said breakeven can be achieved within 6 months after deploying the hardware.
Based on this, AMD presented a "hybrid AI" framework. Under this approach, cutting-edge large intelligence uses cloud models, while everyday tasks and sensitive data processing are handled by local machines.
In line with that direction, hardware partners have begun bringing products equipped with the new processors to market. HP unveiled the 16-inch mobile workstation HP ZBook Ultra G3a, which comes preloaded with the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor and "Perplexity Computer." Framework and GMKtec (EVO-X5 Pro) released compact desktop workstations for high-performance local AI development environments.
Lenovo announced the 1.6L ultra-compact desktop ThinkCentre X Ultra at IFA 2026. The ThinkCentre X Ultra is expected to support scaling agentic workloads based on cluster configurations.
AMD said it supports both Windows and Linux environments and provides compatibility with major development frameworks such as PyTorch, vLLM, Ollama and llama.cpp. Based on this, AMD plans to continue expanding its local computing ecosystem so enterprises can safely and cost-effectively deploy agentic AI in real-world operations after the experimental stage.
