AMD launches 192GB Gorgon Halo chips ahead of RTX Spark

AMD has unveiled its new Gorgon Halo chips, offering up to 192GB of shared memory, just days before Nvidia is expected to launch its competing RTX Spark lineup. The flagship Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 chip, aimed at high-end laptops, features 16 powerful CPU cores and lets users dedicate up to 160GB of memory directly to graphics tasks. Gorgon Halo devices start at steep prices—over $7,000—and target users wanting to run demanding AI models locally, without relying on the cloud.

Why it mattersAMD is trying to beat Nvidia and Apple by offering far more local memory—making it easier to handle giant AI models on your own device. That could shift some users away from cloud AI services and make offline, privacy-focused computing practical again.
