At CES 2025, AMD is launching many new CPUs and the most interesting is the high-end AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Desktop CPUand AMD Ryzen AI MAX and MAX Pro for laptops.
D 16-core With the 9950X3D 144MB cache (!!) The 7950X3D is a nice addition to desktop CPUs and offers an average of 8% extra performance (across 40 games) over the already super-fast 7950X3D, according to numbers provided by AMD. There is the more affordable Ryzen 9 9900X3D with 12 cores, which may have a slightly better performance/price ratio.
We expect independent benchmarks to confirm this positioning. From there, potential buyers can look at the performance/price ratio, often the end game for desktop CPUs, since power efficiency isn't as important to these users.
D Ryzen AI series Aim for “AI laptops” powered by Microsoft's Copilot, which has performance requirements to enter the Copilot Club. As a result, AMD introduced the Ryzen AI 300 and Ryzen AI Max processorThe latter are the most attractive because they target creators and advanced use cases.
They use the latest CPU core designs and come with different numbers of CPUs and GPU To target core desired price points. You can have between 6 and 16 CPU cores and 16 Up to 40 GPU coresWhich is a huge number for an AMD product. AI capabilities are similar for all variants with 50 TOPS (trillion operations per second), and this is a high number, with competitors often showing 13-30 TOPS.
With a TDP of 45-120W, we have to see what kind of chassis these processors will be used in, but it's not your ultramobile laptop, but probably various (relatively) light workstations and creative laptops.
AMD has touted favorable internal benchmarks, claiming 400% faster Blender rendering than Intel's Core Ultra 9 288V processor. Overall, the technical specifications and claimed performance are impressive, and it's a great technical foundation for upcoming AI laptops and mobile workstations.
The Ryzen AI Max processor series also comes with a AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO Variant, refers to AMD's PRO technology For organizations revolving around various aspects of computer and data security or fleet management.
