The upcoming CES 2025 promises to dazzle tech enthusiasts with a flurry of announcements, especially from AMD, which is set to introduce an impressive lineup of five new product series. January could deliver far more electrifying news than the weather forecasts, with NVIDIA expected to unveil its GeForce RTX 50 series and Intel likely providing updates on its Core Ultra 200 mobile series. But AMD’s plans are certainly turning heads as well.
In the laptop arena, AMD is preparing to launch a range of compelling new products. Among them are the low-power Krackan APUs, potentially part of the anticipated Ryzen AI 300 lineup. Adding to the excitement is the anticipated Ryzen AI 300 Max series, also known as Strix Halo. According to trusted sources, AMD is expected to introduce the next-generation Fire Range series, a follow-up to the Dragon Range, which includes their renowned desktop-class mobile HX-Series. All these APUs are rumored to feature AMD’s latest Zen5 architecture, putting them on the must-watch list for tech fans.
For gaming enthusiasts who love handheld devices, AMD is reportedly ready to roll out three exciting new APUs: the Z2 Extreme (Strix Point), Z2 (Hawk Point), and Z2G (Rembrandt). Each APU covers different generational technologies and architectures, and this launch is set to carve out a new space in the market. By adjusting price points with Strix at the higher end and Rembrandt at the lower, AMD offers diverse choices for gamers on the move.
Intriguing whispers suggest CES 2025 will be AMD’s moment to introduce RDNA4, breaking previous hush on their Radeon plans. This might include the introduction of Navi 48 and Navi 44 GPUs, aimed at capturing the mid-range and entry-level segments, without catering to the high-end enthusiasts in this series.
Moreover, AMD fans should keep an eye on the Ryzen 9000X3D series launch next week. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is expected to make its debut, while additional heavyweights like the 9950X3D and 9900X3D are projected to headline CES 2025. It seems AMD may strategically focus its upcoming fall publicity on the more compact 8-core variant, with plans to unveil the larger models during the January event.
Here’s a sneak peek at AMD’s CES 2025 offerings:
– Laptop APUs: Ryzen AI 300 – Krackan Point, Ryzen AI 300 Max – Strix Halo, Ryzen HX Series – Fire Range / Fire Range X3D
– Handheld APUs: Ryzen Z2 Extreme, Z2, and Z2G
