At CES 2026, AMD unveiled its Ryzen AI 400 Series processors, marking the third generation of its AI-enabled PC chips. The flagship Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 and 470 models feature 12 CPU cores (8 high-performance, 4 efficiency) and 24 threads, delivering up to 1.3× faster multitasking and 1.7× faster content creation versus leading competitor offerings. Each chip integrates an XDNA 2 neural processing unit (NPU) capable of 55–60 TOPS and a Radeon 890M GPU with 16 compute units clocked at 3.1 GHz. Lower-tier parts—Ryzen AI 7 450, 445 and Ryzen AI 5 435, 430—offer 8–6 cores, 12–24 threads and up to 50 TOPS on the NPU, enabling local inference of models up to 50 billion parameters.

During a press briefing at CES, AMD’s Client Business GM Rahul Tikoo revealed that the company now supports over 250 distinct AI-powered PC platforms, doubling its tally from last year. These systems, which ship with either Ryzen AI 300 or new Ryzen AI 400 Series processors, span notebooks, mini-desktops and all-in-ones from tier-one OEMs. AMD forecasts that these AI PCs will account for more than 30% of its consumer PC revenue by Q4 2026, driven by enterprise and creator demand for on-device text summarization, image generation and real-time language translation.

AMD also introduced the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, its newest gaming processor in the 9000X series, which leverages higher-yield dies and a 100 MHz boost over the 9900X3D to reach 5.6 GHz peak clocks—translating to roughly a 7% average frame-rate improvement in AAA titles. In parallel, AMD previewed its Redstone ray tracing engine, now optimized to simulate complex light interactions with minimal performance loss. These advances position AMD to capture additional market share in desktop gaming hardware ahead of the 2026 holiday season.
