As AI focused in the cloud begins to become more prevalent on laptops and mobile devices, longtime chip maker AMD has unveiled a new line of AI PC chips.
AI hardware provider unveils new at CES show in Las Vegas amd ryzen CoPilot+ AI 400 series for PCs, Ryzen AI Max+ processors and Ryzen AI Pro 400 series for premium light notebooks and small desktops. The AI ​​vendor also introduced its first AI developer platform, AI Hello.
The Ryzen AI 400 series and Ryzen AI PRO 400 series processors are based on the Zen 5 architecture, AMD’s fifth-generation CPU microarchitecture. According to AMD, it is also powered by the second-generation AMD XDNA 2 NPU (Neural Processing Unit).
The AI ​​processors will be available on devices from hardware providers like Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Gigabyte Technology from the first quarter.
AMD’s new AI processor rivals Intel’s Core Ultra Series 3 Processors, introduced in October 2025.
ai pc Chips from both AMD and Intel are expected to make progress in the AI ​​market, according to Ben Yeh, analyst at Omdia, a division of Informa TechTarget.
“AMD’s strong relationships with PC vendors across their entire portfolio puts them in a great position,” Yeh said. The improvement is evident in AMD’s success in getting more of its chips into Dell PCs, he said. In the first quarter of 2025, the vendor’s share within Dell was 1%, but according to Yeh, it reached 6% in the third quarter, which shows that AMD is making slow progress.
competition and supply
However, competition is still fierce.
“AMD still needs to convince commercial customers that their products are better than their competitors,” Yeh said. “It’s not just a hardware improvement, but strengthening the ecosystem. This takes time.”
Another challenge for AMD is that it faces it along with the entire industry: supply chain issues.
“The major factor affecting upcoming PCs will be the issue of memory and storage constraints,” Yeh said.
He said many vendors, including Intel, will need to address this problem, which could result in a setback for processor technology development in 2026.
In addition to releasing new AI chips, AMD provided a preview of its Helios rack system, which competes with Nvidia’s NVMe systems, which are rack-scale platforms for high-performance computing.
