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.
