The presentation starts on Monday, June 10 at 3 p.m. PT in Los Angeles. It will also be broadcast live on AMD’s YouTube page for those not at the event.

The live video is embedded above. We will be covering AMD’s announcements live, so make sure to follow Digital Trends on Twitter for more.

What to expect

AMD is hot off the heels of its impressive Computex announcements, which included the details of its new Ryzen 3000 processors and a glimpse at its highly-anticipated RX 5000-series Navi graphics cards. We expect AMD to focus more on graphics this time around, and we’re hoping to get more details on AMD’s new graphics architecture and to learn just how it will be implementing them in a variety of platforms.

Here’s what AMD posted on Twitter, hinting at the multi-platform aspect to its new announcements:

With buzz around both game streaming in Google’s Stadia platform, as well as the rumors abuzz about new consoles, AMD seems to be hinting at the multi-platform aspect of its new products. The company even inked a deal with Samsung recently to bring Radeon to mobile devices in the future. Outside of that, AMD hasn’t given any more official word on just what it’ll be sharing. Regardless, it should be exciting.

Although Nvidia doesn’t have a press conference scheduled, AMD’s competitor is expected to drop new versions of its RTX graphics cards, referred to as “Super.” How will the two rival companies be standing by the end of the week? We’ll have to wait and see.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D accounts for nearly all Zen 5 sales

Recent sales data from German retailer MindFactory highlights a striking trend in AMD’s Zen 5 CPU lineup, with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D accounting for nearly 90% of all Ryzen 9000-series sales. The latest figures indicate that consumers overwhelmingly prefer this gaming-optimized processor over other models in the lineup.

In January 2025, MindFactory recorded 25,625 total CPU sales, with AMD capturing 92.16% of the market—equivalent to 23,615 units. Intel, by contrast, managed to sell just 2,010 processors, reinforcing AMD’s dominance in the consumer market.

AMD is doing a victory lap with the new Ryzen 9 9950X3D
AMD announcing the 9950X3D.

At this point, AMD has been on top when we're talking about the best processors for gaming, but it still took CES 2025 to do a victory lap and extend its lead. Opening up the keynote address, AMD revealed the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D, both of which will be available in the first quarter of this year.

The performance here doesn't sway things much, as AMD has already claimed the top slot for gaming processors with its wildly popular Ryzen 7 9800X3D. As you can see below, however, AMD claims an 8% lead over last-gen's Ryzen 9 7950X3D on average after testing 40 games. Unsurprisingly, graphically intensive games like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Black Myth: Wukong see little benefit, but AMD is claiming a lead as large as 58% in a game like Counter-Strike 2.

AMD brings back 3D V-Cache chips for gaming laptops
The AMD Fire Range laptop CPU announced at CES 2025.

AMD just announced over a dozen new laptop CPUs, which will appear in over 150 new laptops being announced at CES 2025 and later this year, including a new 3D V-Cache chip for gaming laptops and some really impressive graphics in its new Ryzen AI Max+ halo chips.

Let's start with Fire Range. These chips are for high-end gaming laptops, a successor to Dragon Range line, catering to enthusiast gamers and, so far, only enthusiasts are going to be happy, as those laptops likely be quite expensive. On the other hand, the CPUs sound mighty powerful. The lineup includes, first and foremost, the next big 3D V-Cache chip, dubbed the Ryzen 9 9955HX3D.
