AMD confirms Ryzen AI Max 400 “Gorgon Halo” supports up to 192GB memory and 160GB VRAM

AMD has confirmed that its Ryzen AI Max 400 series, codenamed “Gorgon Halo,” will support up to 192GB of unified memory. The same platform will also allow up to 160GB to be allocated as VRAM, according to AMD’s own presentation slide.

The confirmation came alongside AMD’s Ryzen AI Halo workstation presentation. That system uses the current Ryzen AI Max+ 395, also known as Strix Halo, with 128GB of LPDDR5x-8000 memory. We will cover the Ryzen AI Halo system itself in a separate article.

Strix and Gorgon Halo differences

The new Ryzen AI Max 400 slide lists up to 16 Zen 5 CPU cores and 32 threads, up to 5.2 GHz CPU boost clock, up to 40 RDNA 3.5 GPU Compute Units and up to 3.0 GHz GPU boost clock. AMD also lists up to 55 TOPS from the XDNA 2 NPU, compared to 50 TOPS on current Ryzen AI Max+ 395 systems.

AMD will also upgrade graphics (as suggested by the SKU names), with clocks boosted up to 100 MHz it seems. This is known from previous leak, mind you.

AMD has not confirmed to The Register when exactly the MAX+ 395 variant of the Ryzen AI Halo box will be available.
