AMD is seemingly closer to launching its AMD Ryzen AI 400 as the series starts appearing in online databases. The latest of which is SiSoftware, where the high-end Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 shares its secrets, confirming previous leaks regarding core specs and frequency. The leak also indicates that AMD is keeping its Ryzen AI naming scheme for next-gen mobile chips.

AMD is seemingly closer to launching its AMD Ryzen AI 400 as the series starts appearing in online databases. The latest of which is SiSoftware, where the high-end Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 shares its secrets, confirming previous leaks regarding core specs and frequency. The leak also indicates that AMD is keeping its Ryzen AI naming scheme for next-gen mobile chips.
Codenamed Gorgon Point, these APUs are in essence a refresh of the Strix Point family, and thus not a brand-new microarchitecture. They are said to deliver a boost in single-threaded performance through an increase in frequency, without changing the core configuration. As a result, the lineup should offer configurations ranging from four cores up to 12. The latter is the model leaked today, boasting 12 cores / 24 threads – likely made of four Zen 5 plus eight Zen 5c, a Radeon 890M iGPU packing 16 RDNA 3.5 compute units, and a 55+ TOPS XDNA 2 NPU.
The SiSoftware leak confirms the 12-core configuration and 5.25GHz frequency while revealing the cache layout. According to the listing, this chip packs 12x1MB of L2 cache (12MB) alongside 3x16MB of L3 (48MB). The latter seems quite odd and contradicts the previous leak, which reported 36MB of L3. This could be an erroneous report from SiSoftware, but if not, it would be great for the APU’s overall performance, especially in gaming.
Considering how previous leaked benchmarks put a Ryzen AI 9 (likely the HX 470) ahead of the Ryzen AI 9 370 in Cinebench R23 by up to 6% at 15W, 57% at 28W, and 95% at 45W, there may be more to this series than the modest frequency improvements.
What is certain is that any models carrying the HX nomenclature will feature higher power and thermal limits, which will help them extract more performance from their CPU and GPU cores. Logically, these will be found on performance-oriented laptops rather than thin-and-light, so you can expect to see them on upcoming gaming devices.
Speaking of which, Ryzen AI 400 Gorgon Point APUs are expected to release sometime in early 2026, and this data entry corroborates that as it comes from a seemingly production version of an HP EliteBook X G2a 14in Notebook. We assume AMD will officially unveil its lineup during CES 2026, so stay tuned.
