AMD could give it all during CES 2025 next January. According to a well-known leaker from the Chiphell forums, AMD is preparing a bunch of consumer products, from more X3D CPUs for desktop computers to chips for portable devices and RDNA 4 graphics cards.
This powerful rumor comes from Zhangzhonghao, a well-known leaker who talks about new releases in advance. Starting with laptops, it is said that AMD will launch the new generation of Kraken APUs along with Ryzen AI Max (or Strix Halo) and, finally, the Fire range CPUs.
Everything AMD could present at CES 2025
There are many different product ranges, so to refresh the memory, Kraken Point is expected to be the successor to the current AMD Ryzen 8040 series. Leakers claim it will come with up to four standard Zen 5 cores and four Zen 5c cores, as well as RDNA 3.5 graphics with up to eight compute units (CU).
The Strix Halo processors are more on the higher end of the scale, and AMD might launch three CPUs for laptops to start with, all under the Ryzen AI Max umbrella: The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 16 cores, the Ryzen AI Max 390 with 12 cores, and finally, the Ryzen AI Max 385 with eight cores.
All of them will offer integrated RDNA 3.5 graphics. The Fire range is the successor to the Dragon range and will basically be the laptop version of the desktop Zen 5 CPUs, aimed at high-performance laptops for gamers. Zhangzhonghao also claims that AMD will simultaneously introduce X3D CPUs for laptops.
Those who are on the hunt for the best gaming laptops will be able to rely on a mix of new chips, such as the Ryzen Z2, the Ryzen Z2 Extreme, and the Ryzen Z2G.
Graphics cards are no surprise: AMD is said to launch RDNA 4 GPUs during CES 2025. For some time, it has been said that AMD will let Nvidia dominate the high-end market and will stick to mid-range GPUs with this generation. This could mean a flagship RX 8800 XT, but we will have to wait to see it.
Finally, the Zen 5 X3D CPUs. AMD itself confirmed that it will present a new Ryzen 9000X3D CPU on November 7, but did not specify which model it would be exactly. However, most sources expect it to be the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and this leak only confirms it. AMD will follow it with the Ryzen 9 9900X3D and the Ryzen 9 9950X3D at CES 2025.
AMD is betting everything in 2025 with its new business line focused on AI and its changes in consumer hardware. We will see what happens.
