Along with the AI processors, AMD also updated its gaming lineup. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU and Radeon RX 9070-series GPUs, both based on the RDNA 4 architecture. These components aim to improve gaming visuals and performance for both casual and competitive players.
Challenging Rivals
These new product launches place AMD in direct competition with other tech giants. For instance, Intel (INTC) has been making strides with its AI-focused Core Ultra processors, designed for both high-performance computing and AI integration. Meanwhile, Nvidia (NVDA) has long been a leader in AI GPUs with its A100 series. At the same time, Qualcomm (QCOM) has been competing in the AI PC space with its Snapdragon chips that specialize in mobile and desktop AI tasks.
With these new processors, AMD is pushing its rivals to step up their game. The question now is whether AMD’s new product launches at CES 2025 can help it regain market share in the GPU segment.
