Now, according to a new leak by <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mooreslawisdead\/status\/2026748168138875279\" target=\"_blank\">Moore&#8217;s Law is Dead on X<\/a>, AMD will allegedly launch the new Ryzen AI 400-series desktop processors for AM5 in the first half of 2026. MLID adds that the launch may even happen as early as Q1. He also released what he claims to be a short promotional video of an AMD Ryzen AI 400 Pro processor in an AM5 socket to lend credence to his leak. <\/p>\n<p>Exact specifications for the AM5 APUs are unconfirmed, but if they&#8217;re anything like the laptop counterparts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/344732\/no-ryzen-9000g-next-gen-socket-am5-apus-are-branded-ryzen-ai-400-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">it is expected<\/a> that the new APUs will launch with the same silicon as Strix Point but with adjusted power management and increased clock speeds. This means we can expect to see the Ryzen AI 400 desktop processors top out with a 12-core (4\u00d7 Zen 5; 8 \u00d7 Zen 5c) CPU cluster tied to a 16 CU RDNA 3.5 iGPU, and a 60 TOPS NPU.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/laKup0wHjytEtmRV.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-width=\"1707\" data-height=\"960\" data-fancybox=\"g346779\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/laKup0wHjytEtmRV_thm.jpg\" width=\"231\" height=\"130\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AMD announced its Ryzen AI 400 series &#8220;Gorgon Point&#8221; mobile APUs based on Zen 5 and Zen 5c&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":317790,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[126544,23197,126546,136745,3231,148139,61160,102007,39786,1182,148138,126549,2335,148137,61,126550,60,4025,1536,43,332,148141,128947,1537,126541,126552,148142,80,148140,126555,148143],"class_list":{"0":"post-317789","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-12-core","9":"tag-23197","10":"tag-400-series","11":"tag-am5","12":"tag-amd","13":"tag-apus","14":"tag-cpu","15":"tag-desktop","16":"tag-early","17":"tag-for","18":"tag-gorgon","19":"tag-gorgon-point","20":"tag-gpu","21":"tag-https-www-techpowerup-com-346779-amd-gorgon-point-desktop-apus-tipped-for-early-2026-launch","22":"tag-ie","23":"tag-igpu","24":"tag-ireland","25":"tag-launch","26":"tag-leak","27":"tag-news","28":"tag-point","29":"tag-rdna","30":"tag-rdna-3-5","31":"tag-rumor","32":"tag-ryzen","33":"tag-ryzen-ai","34":"tag-strix-point","35":"tag-technology","36":"tag-tipped","37":"tag-zen-5","38":"tag-zen-5c"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317789"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317789\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/317790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
