The tech world has just been set on fire! We are talking about the first major specs leak for AMD's upcoming mobile processor lineup, the powerhouse Ryzen AI 400 series. Look, the proof is right here: Lenovo benchmarks on Geekbench confirm the core architectural updates and clock speeds for these next-generation laptop chips. Codenamed Gorgon Point, this is essentially the heavily refreshed version of the Strix Point family, and its mission is clear. AMD is going all-in to dramatically boost AI performance in laptops using the brand-new, game-changing Zen 5 architecture plus a vastly improved NPU. This is the leak we've been waiting for!

🧠 Core Architecture and Performance Breakdown

The Geekbench listings give us a clear look at the core configurations for the two leaked models:

  • Ryzen AI 7 450: This mainstream chip features a 4+4 core layout.
  • Ryzen AI 9 HX 470: Positioned at the high-end, it boasts a powerful 4+8 core layout.

This hybrid core layout pairs high-performance cores with efficiency-focused cores, a design strategy that enables the Ryzen AI 400 series to deliver both impressive multi-core speed and better power management. The flagship Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 is reportedly set to hit boost frequencies in the 5.15-5.25 GHz range with a base clock of 2.0 GHz, promising a significant performance jump for high-end portable systems.

Processor (SKU) Core Configuration Architecture Max Boost Frequency
Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 4+8 core layout (12 Cores Total) Zen 5 5.25 GHz (approx.)
Ryzen AI 7 450 4+4 core layout (8 Cores Total) Zen 5 5.15 GHz (approx.)

The New RDNA 3.5 iGPU: Speed Boost Confirmed

Perhaps the most exciting part of the leak is the graphics side. The integrated GPU, listed as the Radeon 890M, appears to be running with 16 RDNA 3.5 Compute Units. This aligns perfectly with earlier technical documentation for the Gorgon Point design.

Crucially, the Geekbench record shows a maximum iGPU frequency of up to 3.1 GHz. This is a noticeable step up, as previous discussions around the RDNA 3.5 launch suggested target frequencies around the 3.0 GHz mark, which some internal documents then lowered to 2.9 GHz. These new test results strongly suggest a slight but important frequency increase on the integrated GPU side for the Radeon 890M, promising better graphics performance for users.

What's Next for AMD Mobile Processors?

The leak also shed light on AMD's market strategy, indicating a dual-silicon approach where Gorgon Point 1 and Gorgon Point 2 handle the high-end, and the Krackan Point redesign forms the basis of the mid-to-high-end models. The final, official performance differences related to clock speeds, TDP profiles, and the capabilities of the integrated NPU unit will be fully unveiled at the official launch event. For now, the AMD Ryzen AI 400 series is shaping up to be a compelling offering for next-gen AI-enabled laptops.
