AMD has kept pretty tight-lipped on what to expect from its CES 2021 showcase. But we're expecting to see next-generation laptop-grade processors built around the new Zen 3 architecture. And there could even be some new laptop versions of the Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards that debuted last year.
AMD at CES 2021: What to expect
Aside from laptop-level hardware, we could see a clutch of new chips from AMD.
"During the keynote, Dr. Su will highlight AMD’s high-performance computing and graphics solutions portfolio and outline the company’s innovative vision for the future of research, education, work, entertainment and gaming. You can also expect a showcase of product demos and groundbreaking innovation that AMD and partners are driving through their technologies," AMD said in a statement.
Really, we're hoping AMD gives us an update on the supply situation regarding the Ryzen 5000 series. With everyone working from home, PC building has seen a surge in popularity. That's led to a scarcity of high-end parts, leading to inflated prices by scalpers on sites like eBay.
Beyond gaming-focused processors, there's a chance that AMD will also announce a new line of Ryzen Threadripper hardware meant for high-end desktops. While these chips are not consumer-facing, it's cool to see how far AMD can push its hardware nonetheless.
