AMD faces a formidable challenge at CES 2025, particularly with Nvidia continuing to dominate the AI landscape. Nvidia’s aggressive push, especially with the rumored RTX 5000 announcement, has left AMD in a difficult position. To maintain relevance and compete effectively, AMD must unveil its next-generation GPU lineup.
There is speculation that AMD’s RDNA 4 cards could arrive under the RX 8000 or RX 9000 series. Regardless of the specific naming convention the company chooses, AMD’s efforts at this year’s CES will be closely watched as they seek to prove their competitive edge in both gaming and high-performance computing markets.
The press conference is scheduled for January 6, beginning at 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET. AMD will be led by key executives, including Jack Huynh, senior vice president, and general manager of the Computing and Graphics Group, who will be joined by other AMD leaders, partners, and customers. They plan to highlight AMD’s ongoing efforts to expand its leadership in PCs and gaming, emphasizing its growing portfolio of high-performance computing and AI products. The success of AMD’s CES 2025 presentation could be crucial as it aims to reclaim some of the ground lost to Nvidia in recent months.
