AMD has released ROCm 7.14 with official production-ready support for its upcoming Ryzen AI MAX PRO 400 Series processors. The software update arrives before OEM partners launch laptops and desktops based on the new Gorgon Halo chips. Developers can leverage the updated open-source software stack to optimize their artificial intelligence applications before these new processors hit the consumer market.
The newly enabled processor lineup (with GPU IDs identified by ROCm as gfx1151 devices) includes the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, the Ryzen AI Max PRO 490, and the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485. This series represents the first commercial application of the Gorgon Halo graphics architecture in high-performance laptops. In addition to client hardware support, AMD is preparing a matching developer platform using the same Ryzen AI Max 400 family.

The top-tier Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 combines 16 Zen 5 CPU cores and 32 threads with Radeon 8065S graphics featuring 40 Compute Units. The processor supports up to 192GB of LPDDR5x-8533 memory, with up to 160GB allocated as dedicated graphics memory. In comparison, the Ryzen AI Max PRO 490 uses 12 CPU cores and Radeon 8050S graphics with 32 Compute Units.
The entry-level Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has 8 CPU cores but retains the same 32-CU graphics layout. All three processors operate within a configurable power range of 45W to 120W, and the top-tier model provides up to 55 NPU TOPS of dedicated AI compute performance. The integrated graphics processing unit runs at a frequency of 3.0 GHz on the 495 model and 2.8 GHz on the 490 and 485 models.
In addition to new hardware support, ROCm 7.14 transitions the software stack to TheRock, a modular build and release setup. This update expands command-line telemetry and enables ROCm Systems Profiler and ROCm Compute Profiler on Ryzen AI MAX PRO platforms. Software developers can monitor GPU utilization, memory usage, and thermal parameters to debug high-performance workloads directly from the terminal.
The update also introduces optimizations for PyTorch 2.12 and JAX 0.10.0 frameworks, allowing developers to utilize newer features on AMD hardware without delay. OEM laptops from Lenovo, HP, and other brands using the new chips are scheduled to arrive during the third quarter of 2026. Hardware trackers expect AMD to share more release details at its Advancing AI event next week.
