AMD announces Ryzen AI 400, AI 400 PRO series at MWC 2026
Offering support for next-gen AI PCs, Copilot+ experiences
AMD announced new products and initiatives at MWC 2026 Barcelona, headlined by their newest Ryzen AI 400 and Ryzen AI PRO 400 series processors.
These latest processors are built on the AM5 platform and advanced Zen 5 architecture, delivering next-generation experiences for both consumer and commercial scenarios.
The additions enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to offer next-gen AI PCs across high-performance desktops, laptops, and mobile workstations optimized for modern workloads.
Along with dedicated AMD XDNA 2 NPUs and AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics, both series offer up to 60 TOPS of NPU AI compute, exceeding the requirements of Copilot+ PCs.
As such, these enable powerful on-device AI performance, including running LLMs locally and tackling compute-intensive applications for design and engineering.
The Ryzen AI 400 series processors are also the first for next-gen desktop AI PCs to support Copilot+ PC experiences. Featuring an NPU providing up to 50 TOPS of AI compute, these processors enable running AI assistants and productivity tools locally.
In addition, AMD is expanding the Ryzen AI 400 series mobile portfolio to include workstations. Some that are expected to release in Q2 2026 include products from Dell, HP, and Lenovo.
AMD PRO initiative
Furthermore, AMD announced AMD PRO for enterprise-grade security, manageability, and reliability.
This is done through foundational hardware and software designed to simplify IT operations and protect investments over time.
AMD says it will continue to evolve the AMD PRO platform by strengthening both its silicon foundation and software stack.
This will support enterprise IT teams managing distributed AI-enabled PC fleets. Meanwhile, expanded remote management features improve visibility, recovery, and control.

AMD expands Ryzen PRO 9000 series processor lineup
AMD brings 3D V-Cache technology to commercial segment
AMD has announced an expansion of its enterprise desktop lineup with new Ryzen PRO 9000 Series processors. These are built on the Zen 5 architecture and set to debut in the second half of 2026.
This is the first time AMD is bringing its high-bandwidth 3D V-Cache technology into the commercial workstation segment.
This way, the company unlocks massive performance leaps for data-heavy professional industries.
The introduction of 3D V-Cache directly targets power users handling complex, intensive digital pipelines.
By vertically stacking additional last-level cache directly onto the processor die, the hardware drastically cuts down memory latency and accelerates data access.
Primary beneficiaries of this architecture are creative and technical professionals, including:
- video editors and animators
- 3D artists and VFX creators
- engineers and architects
- developers and data scientists
The expanded hardware lineup spans configurations from six to 16 performance cores. Power limits break past traditional limits, or up to a sustained 170 watts to maintain peak clock speeds during overnight renders.
The range also makes the lineup scalable from compact desktop systems to full-scale tower workstation systems.
The AMD Ryzen PRO 9000 series also supports up to 256GB of memory to prevent system crashes. Enterprise system rollouts are expected to begin later this year.

AMD to bring FSR Upscaling 4.1 to RDNA 3 GPUs this July
Better visuals for players on PC, consoles soon
AMD has announced through Senior Vice President and General Manager Jack Huynh that FSR 4.1 upscaling technology is coming to RDNA 3 GPUs this July.
Huynh confirmed that Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards, among other older graphics architectures, will receive the update in July. Older RDNA 2 cards will also benefit in early 2027.
The decision directly benefits budget-conscious PC gamers and handheld console users who have opted out of expensive hardware upgrades. Instead of having to purchase new GPUs, they will simply have to download the software driver.
FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) 4.1 marks a major shift for AMD. It introduces a machine learning-powered algorithm that replaces traditional analytical upscaling.
By updating their software drivers, users can access cleaner image reconstruction, reduced motion ghosting, and better performance with FSR Upscaling 4.1 across more than 300 supported gaming titles on their RDNA 3 graphics.
Beyond desktop players, the rollout carries significant implications for the wider gaming ecosystem.
Devices like the ROG Ally X and Lenovo Legion Go run on RDNA 3 integrated graphics. This means handheld gamers will see immediate frame rate and visual fidelity improvements this summer.
Furthermore, current-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as Valve’s Steam Deck, rely on RDNA 2 architecture. This means AMD’s early 2027 roadmap lays the groundwork for massive visual optimization across the entire console market.
