Summary

  • AMD has launched its Ryzen AI Pro 400 desktop CPUs with integrated GPU and XDNA 2 NPU.
  • These are the first desktop chips validated to power Windows Copilot+ features like Recall and Click to Do.
  • The three Pro SKUs (450G/450GE, 440G/440GE, 435G/435GE) target business PCs needing onboard graphics.

Like pretty much every company, AMD is going all-in on AI.

At MWC 2026, the chipmaker revealed its new Ryzen AI Pro 400 desktop CPU series that features a CPU and built-in GPU, and a neural processing unit (NPU) focused on AI. Back at CES, AMD revealed its XDNA 2 NPU, but this CPU was reserved for its consumer Ryzen AI 400 series laptops and mini PCs, while it's new Ryzen AI Pro 400 chips are designed for the desktop.

AMD says that its new desktop processors are designed to take advantage of Copilot+ features, which are limited to chips that include a dedicated AI processor. This makes the Ryzen AI Pro 400 series the first desktop chip to be able to officially power Microsoft's Copilot+, giving devices equipped with the CPU access to several unique Windows 11 features, like Recall and Click to Do.

In terms of the lineup, the Ryzen AI Pro 400 series includes following CPUs:

These Ryzen AI desktop chips will likely primarily be featured in business-focused PCs that don't require dedicated graphics cards, but that still need somewhat powerful architecture and Copilot+ compatibility. With this in mind, it's unlikely they'll be available to regular consumers.
