An exploded view of an agent computer.

Press Kit: Agentic PCs

Enabled by AMD, agentic PCs are built to run your AI agents full time.

Published

Agentic PCs represent the next evolution of personal computing, supporting AI agents that can work toward goals across multiple steps and interact with the productivity and business applications people already use today.

AMD Ryzen™ AI Max, AMD Ryzen™ AI Max PRO and AMD Radeon™ AI PRO processors bring together CPU, GPU and NPU compute resources with software and ecosystem support for agentic computing. These processors combine high-performance CPUs for agent orchestration, high-performance GPUs for local inference, and large unified memory to run larger models and demanding agentic workflows locally. The broader Ryzen AI and Ryzen AI PRO portfolios provide customers with additional options for agentic computing.

Together, these capabilities give customers more control over where AI workloads run and data is processed, with flexibility to balance performance and cost across local and cloud resources.

FAQs

What is an agentic computer?

An agentic computer, or agentic PC, is a new category of device built to run AI agents continuously, providing dedicated compute so agents can work on a user’s behalf.

How does an agentic computer differ from a PC?

A traditional PC runs apps that a person operates directly, while an agentic PC enables AI agents that work toward a user-defined goal, using apps and coordinating actions across multiple steps.

When did AMD introduce the agentic computer concept?

AMD introduced the class of agent computers on Jan. 6, 2025, at CES with the announcement of AMD Ryzen™ AI Max Series processors. AMD elaborated on the category further in its March 13, 2026, blog, “Agent Computers: The PC Era, Amplified.”

Why run AI agents locally on an agentic computer?

Local execution keeps data closer to users, provides more control over privacy and costs, and gives agents an always-available computing foundation.

Why are AMD Ryzen AI Max processors suited for agent computers?

Ryzen AI Max processors combine high-performance CPU, GPU and NPU compute with large unified memory to support demanding local AI and multiagent workloads.

How large of an AI model can an AMD-powered agent computer run locally?

AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ systems with 128 gigabytes of unified memory can run models with up to 200 billion parameters locally, while AMD Ryzen™ AI Max PRO 400 Series systems can support models with more than 300 billion parameters at 4-bit quantization.

Can an agent computer also use cloud AI?

Yes. A hybrid approach allows agents to run suitable work locally while using cloud models when additional capabilities or scale are needed.
