What AI can a Ryzen AI 300 laptop run?

Every memory option compared, 120 GB/s memory bandwidth. Laptops with this chip include ASUS Zenbook S 16, HP OmniBook Ultra 14. Updated 2 November 2026.

Quick verdict

Ryzen AI 300 is sold with 16, 24, 32 GB of memory. Counting the 31 models tracked here: 16 GB runs 12 models well; 24 GB runs 15 models well; 32 GB runs 19 models well. Memory bandwidth is 120 GB/s, about 1.5 times the memory speed of an everyday laptop without an AI chip (80 GB/s), so the same model generates words proportionally faster. These laptops share their RAM between the processor and the built-in graphics, and the RAM is soldered, so it cannot be upgraded later. Windows also needs its share, so roughly 70% of the RAM is realistically available for a model, and the memory you buy decides which models load at all.
