Earlier this year, during CES 2025, AMD announced the world"s first AI PC processor that can run Meta"s Llama 70B model locally. Today, AMD announced that the Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 processor, when paired with 128 GB of RAM on Windows, can now run Meta’s Llama 4 Scout 109B (17B active) with full vision and MCP support.
An incredible leap forward for local AI: AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 processors offer the worlds first 96GB dedicated memory for consumer graphics with Variable Graphics Memory.

This capability is enabled for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with the new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.8.1 WHQL driver update. AMD claims that this processor can not only run Meta’s Llama 4 Scout but also supports a context length of 256,000 (Flash Attention ON, KV Cache Q8), which is useful for agentic workflows.
AMD claims that the Llama 4 Scout 109B model was previously only possible on datacenter-grade hardware but is now available in thin and light PCs, thanks to its Variable Graphics Memory feature. Variable Graphics Memory is AMD"s BIOS-level feature, introduced with the latest Ryzen AI 300 series processors, that enables users to reallocate a percentage of the system RAM to the integrated graphics. This unified memory architecture allows users to allocate unused system RAM as dedicated graphics memory.
The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ processor is now available as an option for the following Windows PCs:
-
Corsair AI Workstation 300
-
Framework Desktop
-
HP Z2 Mini G1a
By enabling massive AI models to run locally, AMD is paving the way for more responsive, private, and capable AI applications on Windows PCs.
