At CES 2025, chipmaker AMD reveals its all-new gaming processors, including the Ryzen 9 99950X3D. Watch a recap of the big event in 7 minutes.

Welcome to the new Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor. combine the best technology for gaming, and the best technology for creators into a single package. On the left side, we’ve got 8 core CCD in a bonded 3D SRAM. On the right side, we have an additional 8 Zen5 cores that can reach the highest frequency possible. This combination gives you the highest core count when you need it, the highest cache size when your application requires it, and the highest frequency when your workload demands it. The new 9950X3D is simply the world’s best 16 core gaming processor. It delivers an average 8% performance increase across a broad range of titles over our prior generation. Personally, I’ve been playing some of my favorite games such as Hogwarts Legacy and Space Marine 2, and seeing over 20% performance increase over the 7950X3D. But we’re not stopping at desktops with X3D. We want to bring the best gaming and content creation experiences everywhere. And today, I’m super excited to also share that we’re bringing our Zen 5 X3D technology to mobile devices with Fire range. Expanding our 9950X3D milestone, we’re bringing the world’s best desktop gaming and content creation processor into a mobile package, available in the first half of this year. So today, I’m also proud to announce that we’re expanding our Ryzen AI. PC capabilities into the high performance space with Ryzen AI 7 and 5 series processors. Code named Kracken Point, these new models will allow us to make our leading Ryzen AI 300 series processors available to more users and bring AMD’s leading next gen AI capabilities to everyone. Our new Ryzen AI 7 350 demonstrates faster multitasking productivity than the competition, beating Q Qualcomm Snapdragon by an average of 35% across some of the key benchmarks and the Intel Lunar Lake product by an average of 30% when tested across 9 multi-threaded benchmarks. Today I have some exciting news. I’m also proud to announce a whole new kind of mobile processor. This is expanding the Ryzen AI stack even higher with the Ryzen AI Max. We code named it Strixx Halo. Just as we have increased our user choice with the Ryzen AI 300, 7 and 5 models, the Ryzen AI Max processors are adding a whole new class of PCs that will be available for AMD’s leading next gen AI platforms in the market. This chip is something very, very unique and special. It is so powerful, it enables incredible experiences and is reshaping what customers can experience from their PCs. From the power of a workstation and thin and light laptops to incredibly small and powerful micro desktops, this is simply the most advanced mobile X86 processor ever created. We’re really proud to partner with HP to bring the HP ZBook Ultra G1A system to our customers. It’s a beautiful example of a truly portable, mobile, powerful system like anything else out there. You’ll also find the Ryzen AIMAXx processor in the new desktop HP Z2 Mini G1A. This is a 3 L compact mini PC enabling large language models for developers and creators in incredibly cool and efficient form factor, and for the consumer segment, Jesus has created something really, really unique. This is the new ROG Flow Z13. This is an ultramo 13 inch gaming tablet with a detachable keyboard in a surprisingly small, elegant and premium package. With ADro, enterprise devices get multiple layers of chip level security built into the core, protecting sensitive data from external threats. Technology layers like AMD memory guard, which safeguards sensitive business data in the event an employee’s PC gets lost or stolen, or Microsoft Pluton, a chip to cloud technology built with zero trust principles at the core, meaning it verifies each request as though it originated from an uncontrolled network every single time. I think we’ve got one here. Let’s uh take a Look, thank you, Paula. At one of our, uh, new thirteen-inch Dell Pro systems powered by AMD Ryzen AI Pro. It’s beautiful. Both available this spring for Northern Hemisphere types, Northern Hemisphere spring. Uh, it, yeah, like you said, it’s sleek, modern, delivers exceptional speed, incredible battery life, and powerful AI performance thanks to the AMD Pro, uh, technologies. It’s really scalable, just beautiful displays, up to quad HD enterprise grade security, and 5G and Wi Fi 7 to provide dependable connectivity no matter where you’re working. And Jack, the whole Dell Pro portfolio is built with durability in mind. Uh, withstanding nearly, uh, 3 times as many hinge cycles, drops, and bumps from tough corporate use as competitor devices. So not 30% more, 3 times more, Jack. It has all the bells and whistles and endurable. Sam, I’ll definitely be self-hosting and personally testing this device.
