Among the highlights was the much-anticipated Ryzen 7 9850X3D desktop CPU, aimed at gaming enthusiasts looking for top-tier performance. ## Ryzen 7 9850X3D: A Gaming Powerhouse The Ryzen 7 9850X3D stands out with its impressive 5.6GHz boost clock, marking an increase of 400MHz over its predecessor, the 9800X3D. Despite retaining the same 120-watt TDP, it delivers about a 7% performance increase, notably improving frequency-sensitive esports titles, though AAA games see more modest gains. AMD asserts that this new CPU offers a 27% average performance advantage over Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K across a wide range of games. ## Expanded Ryzen AI 400 Series AMD also introduced the Ryzen AI 400 series, featuring slight frequency boosts and enhanced memory bandwidth. These chips, maintaining the Zen 5 CPU cores and RDNA 3.5 graphics from the previous generation, aim for faster NPU performance, achieving up to 60 TOPS. Competing with Intel's Panther Lake and Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2, these laptops are slated to hit the market in Q1 2026 from major manufacturers such as Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. ## New Strix Halo Chips Target Gaming Handhelds With an eye on portable gaming, AMD expanded its Strix Halo lineup, unveiling Ryzen AI Max Plus chips such as the 392 and 388. These processors, though reducing CPU cores to 12 and 8 respectively, maintain 40 graphics compute units capable of 60 teraflops, gearing towards affordable gaming devices in the $1,000-$1,500 price range. Companies like GPD, Ayaneo, and OneXPlayer are already announcing handhelds featuring these chips. ## AI and Industrial Applications AMD continues to push boundaries with their AI solutions, presenting the Ryzen AI-embedded P100/X100 series for industrial applications. Additionally, they previewed the Instinct MI500 series, targeting a 2027 release with a promise of 1,000x AI performance gains over the MI300X. These announcements not only highlight AMD's commitment to enhancing performance across various platforms but also underline their strategic focus on AI and next-generation gaming experiences. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [AMD unveils new AI PC processors for general use and gaming at CES](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-unveils-new-ai-pc-processors-for-general-use-and-gaming-at-ces-eo1sl2ant) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ai), [#amd](https://daily.dev/tags/amd), [#computing](https://daily.dev/tags/computing), [#gaming](https://daily.dev/tags/gaming), [#hardware](https://daily.dev/tags/hardware) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-unveils-new-processors-at-ces-2026-ryzen-7-9850x3d-ryzen-ai-400-series-and-strix-halo-skus-pbcrhzk3e) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"AMD Unveils New Processors at CES 2026: Ryzen 7 9850X3D, Ryzen AI 400 Series, and Strix Halo SKUs","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/amd-unveils-new-processors-at-ces-2026-ryzen-7-9850x3d-ryzen-ai-400-series-and-strix-halo-skus-pbcrhzk3e","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/amd-unveils-new-processors-at-ces-2026-ryzen-7-9850x3d-ryzen-ai-400-series-and-strix-halo-skus-pbcrhzk3e"},"datePublished":"2026-01-06T03:40:15.023Z","dateModified":"2026-03-15T03:38:11.313Z","description":"AMD announced multiple processor lines at CES 2026, including the Ryzen 7 9850X3D gaming CPU with 5.6GHz boost clock and 7% performance improvement, the Ryzen...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/b87f644d506781897e194308482a1084?_a=AQAEulh","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/b87f644d506781897e194308482a1084?_a=AQAEulh","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Collections","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Collections","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--fk_6ycEi--/f_auto,q_auto/v1780996001/logos/collections?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/amd-unveils-new-processors-at-ces-2026-ryzen-7-9850x3d-ryzen-ai-400-series-and-strix-halo-skus-pbcrhzk3e","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":8},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai,amd,computing,gaming,hardware","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Collections","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"AMD Unveils New Processors at CES 2026: Ryzen 7 9850X3D, Ryzen AI 400 Series, and Strix Halo SKUs"}]} ```
