AMD recently held a media briefing detailing its push into Agentic PCs. According to the company, it has distributed over five hundred thousand such units spanning more than fifty designs, alongside tens of millions of standard AI systems. AMD defines an Agentic PC as a device featuring a CPU, GPU, and NPU capable of running local AI agents.
The central hardware focus of the briefing was the upcoming Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 Gorgon Halo processor, which is slated as a next-generation option for the year 2026. This component supports as much as 192 GB of unified LPDDR5X memory, letting users manually configure the allocation for the integrated graphics processor.
During benchmark demonstrations, AMD reported that the flagship configuration handled massive models like GLM 5.3 Flash and Qwen 3.8 Flash Next at notable speeds. In ComfyUI evaluations, AMD positioned its hardware ahead of an Intel Core Ultra X9 388H competitor across eighteen workloads, though critics must note that all figures derive directly from AMD internal testing without independent verification.
Additionally, AMD emphasized full x86 native compatibility for Windows and Linux without requiring emulation layers. The briefing also highlighted professional software support, partnerships with Cisco and Perplexity, and a case study from production studio Light Sail VR.
