The complete list of AMD Gorgon Point laptops (Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, AI 9 465, AI 7 450)

In this article, we discuss the AMD Gorgon Point hardware platform, launched in early 2026, which powers the majority of AMD laptops available this year and into the first part of 2027.

Gorgon Point is a mid-cycle refresh of the existing AMD Strix Point and AMD Krackan Point platforms discussed in previous articles. That means the Ryzen AI 400 Series APUs are built on the same core technology as past AMD hardware, featuring a mix of Zen5 performance and Zen5c efficiency processor cores, along with Radeon iGPUs that utilize RDNA3.5 Compute Cores. Compared to the Ryzen AI 300 predecessors, Gorgon Point offers minor refinements and updates in clock speeds – however, some of the devices built on this hardware do offer updated designs and features for this year.

Much like in the past, the upper-tier processors are the Ryzen AI 9 SKUs, while the mid and lower-tier options are the Ryzen AI 7 and AI 5 options. The two implement the same CPU/GPU technology, just with fewer cores and lower speeds as we go down the lineup.

However, it’s important to understand that Gorgon Point is not a major hardware refresh. That’s only coming in 2027 with the AMD Medusa Halo and Halo Mini platforms (naming still to be confirmed), with Zen6/Zen6c CPU cores (up to 26C/52T), updated graphics built on RDNA5 cores (up to 48 CUs), and support for LPDDR6 memory. But these are at least a year out at the time I’m writing this article, so Gorgon Point is all we’re getting this year for portable laptops, alongside Strix Halo for select higher-performance options and Fire Range HX for a handful of full-size high-performance notebooks.

So let’s dive into these Ryzen AI 400 lineups and figure out what they’re all about. Here’s preview of the entire CPU roster.

While AMD no longer offers these as separate sub-lineups as with the Ryzen AI 300 generations, we should still discuss the Ryzen AI 9 and Ryzen AI 7/5 options separately, since they are meant for different kinds of devices.

So here are the three Gorgon Point Ryzen AI 9 400 SKUs (Ryzen AI 9 HX 475, Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, and Ryzen AI 9 465), next to their Strix Point Ryzen AI 300 counterparts that they are replacing.

You’ll mostly find these in more powerful notebooks between 14 and 16 inches in size, sometimes paired with Nvidia dedicated GPUs, especially in the larger models.

Very little to nothing has changed:

• a minor bump in CPU and GPU maximum Turbo speeds – but keep in mind that the iGPU only runs at full speeds in the more powerful designs at 40+W sustained;
• support for faster LPDDR5x-8533 memory (still 128-bit memory bus);
• an updated NPU that allows 60 TOPS on the Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 (still an XDNA 2 architecture);

The Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 and HX 470 are still identical with 12C/24T and a Radeon 890M iGPU with 16 Compute Units, with just the updated NPU on the 475; expect most retail notebooks to be built around the 470 SKU.

The Ryzen AI 9 465 slots in beneath the AI 9 HX options, with 10C/20T (but still 4x Zen5 main cores) and a Radeon 880M with 12 Compute Units. It’s still competitive on the CPU side, at 5-10% slower than the 470/475 options in sustained loads, something to keep in mind if you’re after a device that pairs the AMD processor with a dGPU. In fact, more OEMs choose to implement the Ryzen AI 9 465 on their 2026 models than before. At the same time, it’s not as competitive on the iGPU side, with 25% fewer graphics cores – something to keep in mind when looking at a device that relies entirely on the iGPU and lacks a dGPU.

All these being said, there’s no wonder some OEMs chose not to update their devices to Gorgon Point and keep offering their Strix Point implementations for 2026.

When it comes to these higher-tier Ryzen AI 9 SKUs, this platform is just a name update. So, if you’re choosing a 2026 model over a 2025 variant, make sure you’re doing it for other reasons and not for any performance/efficiency benefits that you would expect from the Ryzen AI 9 400 series hardware. However, we can hope for better availability and more affordable pricing with this hardware generation, all things considered.

Of course, there are still differences to account for between implementations, with regards to the power settings and cooling capacity of each device. When it comes to the more portable options, expect those to run at 25-35W sustained, while the larger formats can allow up to 80W of sustained power, even if in theory the hardware is only a 15-54W design – that just means it already runs at almost its best at 54W and a higher-power allocation doesn’t change performance in a significant way. You’ll have to look into specific details for more information on the performance and capabilities of each unit.

With these out of the way, here are the Gorgon Point Ryzen AI 7/5 400 SKUs next to their Krackan Point Ryzen AI 300 counterparts that they are replacing. You’ll mostly find these in mid-range portable models between 14 and 16 inches in size, generally as standalone implementations. There are a couple of other lower-tier Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 SKUs with 4C/8T and 4 CUs iGPU that I haven’t included here, targeted at budget-tier devices.

Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 / 465  and Ryzen AI 7 450 /435 benchmarks and performance

With these being the platforms that you’ll find in most devices this year, I’ll quickly touch on their capabilities and performance expectations.

However, I haven’t tested any of these 2026 devices yet, so I will update this section once we get to test the 2026 Ryzen AI 400 platforms.

In the meantime, I’ll leave you with some numbers for the Ryzen AI 300 counterparts tested in the past (and we already explained that the Ryzen AI 400 platforms are going to perform more or less similarly).

— updating

These results showcase a few interesting things:

• the Ryzen 9 x70 and x65 processors are close in CPU performance in mid-power implementations, with some advantages for the x70 CPU in longer sustained loads.
• the Radeon 890M in the x70 holds a 15-20% advantage in GPU performance over the Radeon 880m in the x65;
• the Ryzen AI 7 is still a competitive CPU with its 4x Zen5 4xZen5c design, close to the other two in low to mid-powered notebooks;
• the Radeon 860M in the Ryzen AI 7 still scores at about 60-65% of the Radeon 890M, despite having half the CUs;
• expect the Ryzen AI 9 470, Ryzen AI 9 465 and Ryzen AI 7 450 to perform within a few percent of their Ryzen 300 counterparts;
• the Ryzen AI 7 445 with its 2x Zen5 6xZen5c design will run about 10% slower than the AI 7 450 in sustained CPU loads, but otherwise match its capabilities.

That’s about it for this article.

But as mentioned already, stay around, we’re constantly updating these lists of laptops built on AMD’s Gorgon Point Ryzen AI 400 Series hardware, adding new launches as they are released.
