What AI models can the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 (DDR5 SO-DIMM) (96 GB) run?
- Unified memory
- 96.0 GB
- Usable for models
- 72.0 GB
- Memory bandwidth
- 90 GB/s
- FP16 compute
- 25.4 TFLOPS
- Released
- 2026
macOS lets the GPU use roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of unified memory by default, so we plan around that figure rather than the full 96.0 GB.
