AMD has revealed its “AI Everywhere, for Everyone” vision at CES 2026.
At her keynote address, AMD CEO Lisa Su unveiled next-generation processors across client, gaming and enterprise segments.
“As AI adoption accelerates, we are entering the era of yotta-scale computing, driven by unprecedented growth in both training and inference. AMD is building the compute foundation for this next phase of AI through end-to-end technology leadership, open platforms, and deep co-innovation with partners across the ecosystem,” said Lisa Su.
Building on Zen 5 architecture, these chips target laptops, desktops, workstations, and edge AI with enhanced NPUs, higher clocks and expanded software support to challenge Intel Lunar Lake and NVIDIA’s AI ecosystem.
Acer, ASUS and OpenAI are among the partners that have committed to rapid deployments, signalling strong momentum in AI PCs.
Ryzen AI 400 refresh
The Ryzen AI 400 series upgrades Strix Point and Kraken Point APUs with seven SKUs, including the Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 offering a 60 TOPS NPU, up to 12 Zen 5 cores at 5.5GHz boost, and 40 RDNA 3.5 CUs.
Supporting LPDDR5X-8533 memory, these chips enable socketed desktop use for the first time, powering multi-tasking, content creation, and local AI inference in thin laptops arriving this quarter. Ryzen AI PRO 400 variants follow for business, with ROCm 7.0 enabling developer workflows on Windows and Linux from the onset.
High-end AI and gaming
Ryzen AI Max+ expands Strix Halo silicon into developer-focused parts such as the 12-core Max+ 392 and 8-core 388, packing 60 TFLOPS iGPUs (40 RDNA 3.5 CUs) and up to 128GB unified memory for large language model training and inference.
Launching soon is the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, an unlocked refresh of the 9800X3D with 5.6GHz boost on its 3D V-Cache die, that offers superior gaming frame rates in AM5 systems.
Broader ecosystem and enterprise push
AMD also previewed Gorgon Point rack-scale AI systems and Helios racks for AI in automotive and data centres.
OEM integrations from Lenovo, HP and others ensure Q1 availability, while software such as Ryzen AI Software Stack accelerates adoption in edge computing.
In the pipeline is the next-generation AMD Instinct MI500 GPUs, planned to launch in 2027. The MI500 Series should deliver up to a 1,000x increase in AI performance compared to the Instinct MI300X GPUs introduced in 2023.
