AMD just unveiled its new mobile Ryzen AI 400<\/a> CPU lineup at CES<\/a> just a few days ago and promised to release those products in first quarter of this year. Unlike a proper next-gen offering, Gorgon Point is for all intents and purposes just a refreshed Ryzen AI 300 series with minor tweaks. And now we know that it’s coming perhaps even sooner than expected \u2014 on January 22 \u2014 according to a new etail listing in China.<\/p>\n

The first listing to show a Gorgon Point launch date comes from Asus’ official store on JD, a large retailer in the region. The product page is for a Lingyao 16 Air laptop that will go up for sale on January 22. Its specs show a Ryzen AI 7 445 SoC, along with 32 GB of memory and a terabyte of storage. It also has a 2.8K OLED display with a peak brightness of 1,100 nits and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Owing to its Air name, the laptop only weighs 990 grams.<\/p>\n

Overall, the device looks impressive, but the processor is the interesting bit here. Despite being called the Ryzen AI “7” 445, this is AMD’s first-ever Ryzen 7-branded SKU to deviate from an 8-core config. We’re looking at a 6-core\/12-thread SKU with a boost clock of 4.6 GHz, just 14 MB of L3 cache, 4 RDNA 3.5 Compute Units, and up to 50 TOPS of AI compute enabled by the XDNA 2 NPU.<\/p>\n

Another bit of marketing material for an Asus adol 14 Air 2026 system, revealed by Chinese X user @realVictor_M, has surfaced with the same CPU on its spec sheet. The leaked material doesn’t appear to show a launch date directly, but @realVictor_M claims the same January 22 release.<\/p>\n

Intel has set Panther Lake<\/a> systems to launch just five days after Ryzen AI 400’s supposed release date, on January 27, which likely means that AMD doesn’t want to compete head-to-head for the same release day. That only makes sense given what’s likely to be a massive push on Intel’s part.<\/p>\n

AMD is also set to bring Ryzen AI 400 to desktop systems<\/a>, replacing Ryzen 9000G as the company’s new mainstream desktop APU family. The name change reflects the fact that this is the first time an NPU will be included on a desktop Ryzen processor. Intel hasn’t yet announced new desktop processors for 2026, so AMD will at least have the niche of (somewhat) gaming-ready integrated graphics on the desktop to itself for the time being.<\/p>\n
