Your AMD x CES 2025 Primer

As a new year begins once again, a whole new calendar of possibilities is ready to be unveiled to customers. With a continuing focus on delivering exciting developments across AI and next-generation performance and efficiency, the AMD presence at CES 2025 brings with it new products and technologies that put AMD customers further ahead than ever before.

Here is your guide to everything AMD announced for the consumer market at CES this year.

Moving Forward with AI

As today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape continues to shift and change, the demand for greater performance – particularly when it comes to AI – is more important than ever. AMD Ryzen™ AI Max Series processors are the answer to bringing powerful AI performance on the go, and new AMD Ryzen™ AI 300 Series processors round out an already powerful line-up of notebook AI CPUs.

As more customers pick up thin and light devices, AMD Ryzen AI Max Series processors stand ready to deliver on everything: desktop-level performance, discrete-grade graphics, an industry-leading AI engine, and next-generation power efficiency for extended mobility.

These new AI mobile processors build on previous AI-focused products from AMD, delivering up to 16 full-featured CPU cores based on “Zen 5” architecture and up to 40 GPU compute units, thanks to the AMD Radeon™ 8000S Series graphics with up to 96GB of variable graphics memory, for higher resolution, high fidelity gameplay.

When it comes to AI performance, a dedicated AI engine with an industry-leading up to 50+ TOPS of AI processing power ensures users are ready for the future of Copilot+ PC experiences.1,2 With up to 128GB of unified system memory, customers looking to make use of chatbots, image generation, and other AI-driven applications can have it all without sacrificing CPU performance or battery life.

Joining AMD Ryzen AI Max Series processors this year and expanding on the incredible AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processor range, the AMD Ryzen™ AI 7 350 and AMD Ryzen™ AI 5 350 processors join the family, bringing new impressive options for customers looking to add AI-ready performance to their work, creative, or play-led experiences. Offering up to 8 cores, 16 threads, and up to 50 TOPs of AI performance through AMD Ryzen™ AI, customers can get online and enhance their daily computing needs with powerful AI output.

Bringing New Levels of Gaming Performance to PC Handhelds

Gaming isn’t just done at a desk or on a couch anymore. Gamers are more mobile than ever, and a handheld PC gaming console isn’t just a dream; it’s a reality. Players are untethered from wall outlets and static monitors.

With the introduction of the AMD Ryzen™ Z2 Series processor family, PC gamers on the go are about to experience new levels of performance in next-generation PC gaming handheld hardware.

PC handhelds including these new CPUs will deliver up to 12 high-performance CPU cores, 24 threads, and with AMD Radeon™ 800M graphics based on the cutting-edge AMD RDNA™ 3.5 architecture, console-class 1080p gaming is now at gamer’s fingertips.

Add in support for AMD Radeon™ Super Resolution, AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution, and AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2, and players are in for unparalleled on-the-go gaming experiences.3,4

The Mobile CPU for Those Who Want Nothing Less Than the Best in Gaming and Beyond

Continuing the announcement of unplugged experiences, AMD is proud to announce what is projected to be one of the fastest gaming processors a laptop has ever seen. AMD Ryzen™ 9000 HX-Series processors are here, and with a slew of cutting-edge technologies within including 2nd Generation AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology, they’re ready to play.5

Re-engineering the AMD exclusive on-chip memory technology, and literally flipping it on its head, AMD has moved the CPU memory below the processor cores – instead of on top – to deliver even higher levels of performance. Now with direct access to cooling – designed for lower temperatures – gamers can enjoy high clock rates and sustained performance.

Beyond the cutting-edge memory gains, up to 16 CPU cores and 32 threads and support for advanced DDR5 memory and Wi-Fi™ 6E await users. Gaming, creating, or working hard on devices with AMD Ryzen 9000 HX-Series processors installed are projected to deliver the most performance customers can find on a mobile processor anywhere.6

AMD Ryzen™ 200 Series Processors: Where Performance Elevates Everyday Experiences

AMD is also introducing AMD Ryzen™ 200 processors, a range of mobile CPUs that bring trusted performance, incredible all-day battery life, and on most models, support for introductory AI experiences thanks to AMD Ryzen AI built-in.

Enabling customers to speed through work, school, and home productivity, stream up to 4K HDR video, and game with ease, AMD Ryzen 200 Series processors offer up to 8 cores, 16 threads, integrated AMD Radeon™ 700M graphics, and up to 16 TOPs of neural processing power to handle a range of introductory AI experiences. Also, with support for Wi-Fi™ 7, users can expect reliable and swift connectivity.

2025 is a year primed for next-level AI and mobile experiences in gaming, productivity, and beyond. Be one of the first to introduce these new advancements to your customers; reach out to your AMD representative today to learn more or visit AMD.com.
