At MWC 2026, AMD announces under the banner of “AI Everywhere“, a massive expansion of its high-performance computing and AI portfolio.
Marking a significant milestone as the world’s first desktop processors designed for next-gen AI PC applications, the company unveiled the new AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series and Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series processors.
In addition to its client computing leadership, AMD is driving the future of telecommunications through its participation in Open Telco AI. Alongside industry titans including GSMA, AT&T, and TensorWave, AMD is accelerating production-ready AI deployments, providing the compute foundation for open, efficient, and economically viable vRAN and AI workloads from the core to the distributed edge.
AMD Ryzen AI 400: The First Next-Gen AI Desktop Processors
As AI transitions from a cloud-based tool to a local, intelligent assistant, the AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series desktop processors – built on the advanced “Zen 5” architecture and the AM5 platform – deliver the scalability required for the modern ecosystem.
Featuring the new AMD XDNA 2 NPU, these processors provide up to 50 TOPS of dedicated AI compute. This allows consumers and professionals to run AI assistants and productivity tools locally, ensuring sensitive data remains on-device while providing unprecedented control and privacy.
“The desktop PC is evolving from a tool you use to an intelligent assistant that works alongside you,” said Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager, Computing and Graphics Group, AMD. “With the Ryzen AI 400 Series, we’re giving our partners the platform to build systems that empower both enterprises and consumers to do more and create more.”
Ryzen AI PRO 400: Powering Mobile Workstations and Copilot+
AMD is also extending its AI leadership to the mobile sector. The Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series mobile processors are engineered for the most demanding professional workloads. Key highlights include:
- Superior Performance: The Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 delivers up to 30% faster multithreaded performance compared to competitive solutions like the Intel Core Ultra X7 3581, enabling faster iteration for developers and creators.
- Unmatched AI Power: With an NPU delivering up to 60 TOPS, these processors exceed Microsoft Copilot+ PC requirements.
- Efficiency Gains: AMD estimates that the typical office worker can reclaim the equivalent of up to seven work weeks per year by leveraging AI-assisted workflows on these high-efficiency systems.
For the first time, AMD is expanding the Ryzen AI 400 Series into mobile workstations. These systems feature validated support for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), ensuring that engineering, creation, and technical workloads can leverage the combined power of the CPU, GPU (AMD RDNA 3.5), and NPU.
AMD PRO: Silicon-Level Security for AI Fleets
To support the large-scale deployment of AI PCs, the AMD PRO platform has been enhanced with new silicon-level security and software management tools. AMD systems now offer:
- Enhanced Remote Management: Improved visibility and recovery features allow IT administrators to diagnose and restore systems without desk-side visits.
- Robust Security Ecosystem: Validation for major commercial security solutions ensures seamless integration into existing enterprise environments.
Open Telco AI: AMD’s Foundation for 5G and Edge AI
Beyond the PC, AMD is fundamental to the Open Telco AI initiative. By contributing to opentelco.io, AMD is helping the industry move beyond pilot programs into trusted, production-ready AI deployments. This initiative ensures that telecom networks can leverage AMD’s compute foundation to deploy AI across cloud and edge environments, driving down costs while increasing network intelligence and efficiency.
