All this is coming in Q1 and Q2 of 2025. Full details can be found here here And here.
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
It’s AMD’s fastest and most advanced CPU to date, featuring 16 or 12 cores and purpose-built for creators and (especially) gamers. AMD says the new chip will deliver an average 8 percent performance improvement on gaming framerates and a 10 percent improvement on other tasks.
AMD Ryzen AI 5, AI 7, and AI Max
The Ryzen AI chip is not an NPU, but a CPU tuned for overall performance, including AI workloads. The first Ryzen AI CPU — the Ryzen AI 300 — launched in late 2024, and a collection of much faster follow-ups are coming soon, with the Ryzen AI Max (available in seven different SKUs) leading the way. With support for up to 16 cores and 128 GB of memory, AMD says the AI Max offers NPU performance of 50 TOPS. AMD naturally says the Max is embarrassingly fast at all kinds of tasks — and boldly says it can compete with the Apple M4 CPU at some of them. Ryzen AI chips are also set to show up in mini PC designs.
AMD Radeon RX 9070 series
AMD hasn’t given many details about what will differentiate its latest GPU, except that the 9070 line is targeted at midrange users. More notably, AMD’s naming scheme is evolving to more closely align with how Nvidia names its products. The 9070 and 9070 XT are coming this quarter.
nvidia
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took to the stage in a shiny jacket and spent nearly two hours outlining the company’s upcoming plans — and as expected it’s really all about AI. But Nvidia’s bread-and-butter GPUs are covered, including this new stuff. Full details can be found here here And here.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series
To no one’s surprise, Nvidia announced a new graphics processor, the GeForce RTX 50 series. On the desktop, these GPUs will launch in late January 2025. The big advance is a technology called Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) 4 and Multi Frame Generation, which uses AI techniques to generate part of the pixel stream instead of doing it. Through brute force moves, dramatically improves performance. Huang says the new graphics card has up to 4,000 TOPS of AI power. The top-level card in the series – the 5090 – will run just $1,999.
The RTX 50 series is also being shrunk for laptop implementation starting in March 2025. You’ll get less than half the performance from the desktop versus the mobile version, but Huang says the AI will make sure your laptop doesn’t melt down. while you are using it. Prices for RTX 50-equipped laptops will run up to $2,899, offering a maximum power of 1,850 AI TOPS.
Nvidia GB10
This is the backbone for it Nvidia Project Issue“A personal AI supercomputer” that will bring Nvidia’s Blackwell AI platform to the masses. Want to run offline guesswork on your desktop? Digit and the GB10 “AI Superchip” are going to make this possible—with 1 petaflop (1,000 TOPS) of performance. With availability in May 2025, the system will cost at least $3,000.
