AMD’s Ryzen AI Max 400 ‘Gorgon Halo’ Reportedly Targets Higher Clocks in Modest Refresh

A new leak pegs the launch window for the refresh in Q4 2026.

Overview

  • HKEPC’s leaked lineup lists a top Ryzen AI Max+ 495 at 16 cores and 32 threads with up to 5.2 GHz CPU boost and a 40‑CU iGPU clocked at 3.0 GHz.
  • Most other purported models appear to be rebranded configurations with minor adjustments, suggesting limited changes beyond clock increases.
  • OEM sources cited in the leak indicate the processors are slated to reach market in the fourth quarter of 2026.
  • Separately, reporting picked up by IT Home says AMD has begun delivering engineering samples of the Max 400 series.
  • Coverage positions Gorgon Halo as the successor to Strix Halo with architecture similar to Gorgon Point—Zen 5/Zen 5c CPUs, RDNA 3.5 GPU and XDNA 2 NPU—and no further new Strix Halo models expected.
