CES in Las Vegas is traditionally an eventful show: this 2025 edition promises to be a landmark one, for AMD in particular.
Held in the largest city in Nevada, USA, from January 7 to 10, CES 2025 will undoubtedly be the scene of a long-distance "clash" between the biggest companies in the tech and hardware worlds. NVIDIA, for example, will be in the spotlight as news of its next-generation graphics cards is expected. Today, however, it's AMD that's pulling out all the stops, with an announcement from Lisa Su, CEO of the American company, who took advantage of a conference call organized in conjunction with the publication of the group's financial results.

" In the gaming graphics sector, revenues declined year-on-year, as we prepare for a transition to our next-generation Radeon GPUs based on our RDNA 4 architecture. In addition to a sharp increase in gaming performance, RDNA 4 offers significantly better ray tracing performance and adds new AI capabilities." Things are clear for Lisa Su, but to make things even less ambiguous, the boss adds: " We're on track to launch the first RDNA 4 GPUs in early 2025 ". So there you have it: AMD will present and market its next generation of graphics cards in the same timeframe.
That said, this is probably not the only announcement, the only "hardware" presentation that AMD is preparing for us in Las Vegas. As the VideoCardz site explains, AMD is also likely to make a number of announcements in the world of microprocessors, with the Ryzen 9000X3D suite (the 9900X3D and 9950X3D), and perhaps also the Z2 Extreme for future handheld consoles. Last but not least, AMD will be unveiling or, at the very least, detailing several notebook processor families: we're talking about the Ryzen AI300, Ryzen AI300 Max and Ryzen HX series, all of which feature more powerful graphics solutions and neural units than the others.
