AMD kicks of CES 2025 with a bang: its Ryzen AI Max processor combines discrete-level graphics with powerful AI, all surrounding a state-of-the-art Zen 5 CPU.

At CES 2025 on Monday, AMD revealed its new Ryzen AI Max chips for next-gen AI PCs, promising to beat top chips from Intel, Apple and Nvidia in key areas.

What this enables is some truly monstrous improvements over Intel’s Core Ultra 9 288V. For example, for creative workloads, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 has an average 2.6x faster rendering time in the likes of Blender and Cinebench. As for games, you’re seeing an average 1.4x faster GPU performance in 3DMark tests.

AMD is targeting both low-end and high-end AI PCs at CES 2025. The company unveiled a new family of Ryzen AI Max chips meant for "halo" Copilot+ AI PCs, which will sit above existing Ryzen AI 9 systems.

The former is now known as the Ryzen AI Max and Ryzen AI Max Plus, boasting the most powerful graphics AMD’s ever put in a chip, with up to 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units, 16 Zen 5 C

Chipmaker AMD announced an expanded lineup of processors for AI PCs for consumers and commercial users. Warren Buffett dumped stocks, built a $300 billion cash pile, and updated his death plan in 2024.
