What the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is
The Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is the 6-core business APU of the Gorgon Point mobile range, announced at CES in January 2026. Three Zen 5 cores plus three Zen 5c cores give 12 threads at 2.0 GHz base and up to 4.8 GHz boost, with 6 MB of L2 and 16 MB of L3 cache in 22 MB total. Graphics are 4 RDNA 3.5 compute units as Radeon 840M, and the XDNA 2 NPU offers up to 50 TOPS. Default TDP is 28 W in the 15 to 54 W range on TSMC 4 nm.
The 440 is unusual among 6-core parts because it keeps the 16 MB L3 of the bigger dies instead of the 8 MB of the entry 6-core configuration, which is why its total cache reaches 22 MB against 14 MB on the PRO 435. That extra cache helps office multitasking and keeps the small GPU fed, at the cost of die area that a harvested 8-core die provides. Against the 8-core PRO 450 it gives up two cores and four graphics units for lower cost.
PRO qualification adds fleet manageability and business availability to the formula, and the 50 TOPS NPU earns Copilot+ certification with enough system memory. Gorgon Point refreshes Strix Point silicon with higher clocks and native LPDDR5X-8533 support on the top SKUs.
Socket and system compatibility
The chip solders into FP8, the 25 × 40 mm BGA common to recent AMD mobile generations. Buyers choose a complete laptop with fixed processor, memory and cooling, and service means board replacement. Gorgon Point reuses Strix Point board designs with updated firmware, so business models shipped early in 2026.
The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 is the entry 6-core below with a smaller cache, while the 8-core PRO 450 steps up. Desktop efficiency parts with related silicon use AM5, including the 65 W 440G twin of this chip.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
Systems take DDR5 SODIMM or soldered LPDDR5X up to 8000 MT/s, with 16 GB or more for Copilot+ features. Four graphics compute units drive everyday displays and accelerate video work without a discrete card, and soldered sizes freeze at purchase.
PCIe Gen4 lanes handle NVMe storage with USB4 and current outputs beside them. Business thin designs skip discrete graphics for battery life, which the efficient die rewards.
Cooling spans 15 to 54 W around the 28 W default, tuned for thin quiet operation. Boost behavior tracks power and temperature on each machine.
Platform and positioning
AMD aims the 6-core PRO pair at mainstream business fleets where the 440 suits heavier multitaskers and the 435 covers lighter seats. The 50 TOPS NPU covers on-device AI assistance in productivity suites, and six threads with generous cache handle office work with headroom. Compare laptops on panel, keyboard, battery and service options, which decide daily experience more than the APU badge.
Upgrade paths
Soldered laptop silicon cannot be upgraded, so buyers pick between PRO core counts at purchase and judge used machines on battery, memory and panel. The desktop 440G on AM5 is the socketed counterpart for fixed PCs.
Frequently asked questions
What socket does the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 use?
It uses FP8, a 25 × 40 mm grid array. The chip is soldered and laptop upgrades mean replacing the system.
How are the 6 cores of the PRO 440 arranged?
Three full-size Zen 5 cores and three compact Zen 5c cores, with 16 MB of L3, for 12 threads in total.
What is the difference between the PRO 440 and the PRO 435?
The 440 keeps 16 MB of L3 for 22 MB total, while the 435 has 8 MB of L3 for 14 MB total. Clocks differ as well.
Does the PRO 440 include an NPU?
Yes, an XDNA 2 NPU with up to 50 TOPS for local AI features in business applications.
