News Summary AMD introduces new Ryzen AI 400 and PRO 400 Series processors, delivering up to 60 NPU TOPS for Copilot+ PCs and AI experiences
AMD dominates CES 2026 with the reveal of Ryzen AI 400, the powerhouse Ryzen AI Max+ for creators, and the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, the world's fastest gaming CPU.
AMD also compares the Ryzen AI Max+ directly against the Apple MacBook Pro M5 and finds it to offer superior performance in local AI, content creation, multitasking, and gaming. These results are plausible considering our own testing, although we don't have a MacBook Pro M5 on hand to compare against just yet.
AMD has rolled out one of its broadest PC platform updates in years at CES 2026, unveiling new laptop and desktop processors, an AI-focused mini PC and fresh software features aimed at making on-device AI and better graphics the default across the PC market.
Announcements included the MI440X GPU for on-prem enterprise deployments and a longer-term roadmap that includes rack-scale AI systems and next-generation accelerators.
