Early PassMark results put AMD’s Ryzen AI 5 430 about 8–9% faster than the 330, with clocks and a Radeon 840M RDNA 3.5 iGPU doubling CUs. CES 2026 reveal ahead.

AMD’s Ryzen AI 5 430 from the Gorgon Point lineup has appeared in the PassMark database for the first time, and the early numbers suggest there’s no revolution on the horizon, but there is progress. The new chip comes in roughly 8–9% faster than its predecessor, the Ryzen AI 5 330—very much the profile of a gentle refresh.
The Ryzen AI 5 430 sits in the Ryzen AI 400 series, a refresh of Strix/Krackan Point. Architectural shifts are minimal: core and thread counts are unchanged, and AMD’s focus appears to be on modest clock bumps and a stronger integrated GPU. So a dramatic CPU leap was never really on the cards.
In PassMark, the newcomer posted 3,877 points in single-thread and 13,958 points in multi-thread. For context, two entries for the Ryzen AI 5 330 were used, one of them based on just a single run and therefore less representative. Looking at the record with the most samples, the Ryzen AI 5 430 lands about a 9% gain in single-thread and roughly 8% in multi-thread.
Notably, the benchmark doesn’t list the chip’s operating clocks, leaving the source of the uplift to educated guesswork. The most plausible explanation is slightly higher frequencies with the same core and cache configuration. The integrated graphics are the bigger story: the Ryzen AI 5 430 carries a Radeon 840M based on RDNA 3.5 with four compute units instead of two, which should translate into a clear step up in graphics performance versus the previous generation.
AMD is expected to unveil the official Gorgon Point specifications at CES 2026. That’s when it will become clear how successful this refresh is and what role the Ryzen AI 400 lineup will play in thin-and-light, power-efficient laptops.
