Lisa Su returns to the CES stage in 2026, and AMD is gearing up for one of its most ambitious showcases yet. Expect a high-energy keynote that spans consumer and enterprise computing, with fresh news across Ryzen CPUs, Radeon GPUs, Instinct AI accelerators, and EPYC server processors.
CES is where the biggest names in tech set the tone for the year, and AMD looks ready to make headlines. With Dr. Su back on the showfloor for the first time since 2023, the company is poised to highlight how its broad portfolio—CPUs, GPUs, adaptive computing, and AI software—powers innovation for customers and partners across gaming, AI PCs, and data centers. Think leadership-class EPYC processors for cloud and enterprise, acceleration from Instinct GPUs for AI workloads, and performance gains in everyday computing and gaming thanks to Ryzen and Radeon.
While AMD is keeping specifics under wraps, there’s strong industry chatter about what could be on deck. On the graphics side, the next step beyond RDNA 4 is widely anticipated, with talk pointing to RDNA 5—also referenced as UDNA 5 following a broader architectural unification—potentially making its debut. On the CPU front, all eyes are on the Zen 6 generation, including desktop Ryzen processors codenamed Olympic Ridge and mobile APUs known as Medusa Point. If history is any guide, we’re in for a showcase of silicon designed to push efficiency, compute density, and AI capabilities forward across desktops, laptops, and workstations.
Enterprise and AI will be a major theme as well. Expect updates to the Instinct accelerator family and advanced rack-scale solutions aimed at training and inference at massive scale—areas where performance-per-watt and total cost of ownership are critical.
AMD’s keynote is scheduled for Monday, January 5, at 6:30 PM ET. If you care about the future of AI PCs, next-gen gaming, and data center acceleration, this will be one to watch. Team Red seems set to raise the performance bar once again at CES 2026.
