AMD Unveils Next-Gen AI PCs at CES 2026
AMD has broadened its AI and computing portfolio at CES 2026 by introducing a suite of new products and supporting software that span client devices, gaming systems, and developer platforms. Rather than focusing solely on traditional performance metrics, the strategy places artificial intelligence at the centre of future PC and workstation experiences. As a result, AMD is positioning itself to support a wide range of AI workloads across consumer, commercial, and creative use cases.
New Ryzen AI Series and Performance Chips
To meet rising demand for local AI acceleration, AMD unveiled the Ryzen AI 400 and Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series processors, which deliver up to 60 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of neural processing capability for Copilot+ PCs. These chips are designed to enhance on-device AI experiences across everyday tasks as well as content creation and productivity.
In addition, the company introduced Ryzen AI Max+ SKUs aimed at ultra-thin notebooks, workstations, and small form-factor desktops to provide high AI performance alongside robust graphics. Alongside these, the Ryzen 7 9850X3D emerges as the company’s fastest gaming processor, leveraging “Zen 5” architecture and 3D V-Cache technology to enhance game responsiveness and frame rates.
Furthermore, AMD revealed the AMD Ryzen AI Halo mini-PC, which brings Ryzen AI Max+ performance to developers and innovators seeking an out-of-the-box solution for experimentation and edge AI development. These hardware advancements are paired with AMD ROCm 7.2 software support for Windows and Linux, enabling seamless integration of Ryzen AI processors into a broad ecosystem and supporting tools such as ComfyUI for AI workflows.
Growing OEM Adoption and Broader AI Vision
AMD reported strong year-over-year growth in OEM adoption of Ryzen AI processors, with more systems slated to launch across consumer, commercial, and gaming segments throughout 2026. This momentum reflects rising customer demand for machines that combine traditional computing power with AI-accelerated capabilities.
In concert with these product advances, AMD continues to support an expanding ecosystem of software and developer tools that help bring AI functionality into the everyday PC experience. By deepening its AI portfolio and ecosystem partnerships, the company aims to make AI capabilities widely accessible across devices, from everyday laptops to specialised development platforms.
