AMD launches new products across key segments

AMD CEO and Chair Dr Lisa Su unveiled new products across the client, graphics, embedded, and commercial segments during her CES 2026 opening keynote. 

From the world’s fastest gaming processor to powerful new AI PCs and next-generation AI accelerators, AMD showcased how it is advancing AI innovation from consumer devices to the data center.

The keynote also showcased how AMD's partners, including OpenAI, Luma AI, Liquid AI, World Labs, Blue Origin, Generative Bionics, AstraZeneca, Absci and Illumina, are using AMD technology to power AI breakthroughs.

“At CES, our partners joined us to show what’s possible when the industry comes together to bring AI everywhere, for everyone,” said Dr Su.

“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.”

“The PC is being redefined by AI, and AMD is leading that transformation,” said Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager, AMD Computing and Graphics Group. “Across consumer, commercial, and enthusiast systems, we’re delivering platforms that bring high-performance computing, leadership AI, immersive graphics, and a growing software ecosystem that empowers developers and creators, so intelligence is built in, performance and efficiency scale seamlessly, and innovation extends to every form factor. Our full-stack approach is coming to life, enabling smarter, faster, and more immersive experiences for users, today and tomorrow.”

Below is a recap of the key AMD announcements:

• New Ryzen™ AI 400 and Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series processors deliver next-generation AI experiences for both consumer and commercial users. Built on the advanced “Zen 5” architecture and featuring AMD XDNA™ 2 NPUs, both series offer up to 60 TOPS NPU of AI compute, exceeding the requirements of Microsoft Copilot+ PCs and enabling powerful AI performance.

• Additional SKUs in the AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ Series extend the portfolio’s high-performance AI compute, integrated desktop-class graphics, and unified memory architecture to premium ultra-thin laptops, workstations, and compact mini-PCs. These new processors are optimized for demanding creative and AI workloads, and immersive gameplay without compromise.

• The new AMD Ryzen™ AI Halo mini-PC is designed to accelerate AI development. Built on the Ryzen AI Max+ platform, this compact unit offers desktop-grade AI compute, integrated graphics, and easy access to pre-installed applications and models, making it perfect for running LLMs locally and without friction.

• The Ryzen™ 9850X3D processor joins the Ryzen X3D family as the fastest gaming processor on the market. Utilizing powerful “Zen 5” CPUs and 2nd Gen AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology, the processor delivers impressive performance gains and maximum efficiency in today’s most demanding titles.

• The new ROCm 7.2 update supports the Ryzen AI 400 Series processors and is now available as an integrated download through ComfyUI.

• ROCm has seen a 10x increase in downloads year-over-year, due to doubled platform support across Ryzen and Radeon in 2025, and expanded availability across Windows and Linux distributions.

Data Center

AMD unveiled the full MI400 Series lineup, built to serve every AI market. Leading the portfolio is Helios, AMD’s blueprint for yotta‑scale compute, delivering up to 3 AI exaflops in a single rack for trillion-parameter training with maximum bandwidth and efficiency, creating the blueprint for yotta-scale compute.

• The lineup also includes:

o AMD Instinct MI440X, an 8 GPU on-premise solution targeting enterprise AI for training, fine-tuning and inference workloads that integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure.

o AMD Instinct MI430X, a high-precision GPU solution targeting sovereign AI and HPC and hybrid computing.

• AMD disclosed MI500 Series details (launching in 2027), which it set to deliver up to a 1,000x increase in AI performance compared to the AMD Instinct MI300X with AMD CDNA™ 6 architecture, 2nm process technology, and HBM4E memory.

Embedded

• New Ryzen™ AI Embedded P100 and X100 Series processors with “Zen 5” CPUs, RDNA™ 3.5 graphics, and XDNA™ 2 NPUs, deliver up to 50 AI TOPS in a single compact chip and feature 3x AI performance and 35% faster GPU rendering power for real-time 4K/8K visualization. The space-efficient design and unified open software stack help to accelerate and simplify embedded system development for AI-driven automotive, industrial, and autonomous systems.

• AMD will announce its collaboration with Generative Bionics to develop the GENE1.0 next-generation humanoid robot powered by AMD, showcasing a new category of compute merging robotics, AI and human-centric design.

Availability

Systems powered by AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series and AMD Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series processors will be available beginning Q1 2026 from major OEMs including Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, GIGABYTE, and Lenovo. Desktops featuring the Ryzen AI 400 Series will be introduced later in Q2 2026.
