AMD is kicking off CES 2026 on Monday, where it’ll cover its latest AI developments and perhaps show off its newest Ryzen chips. The company will outline the full scope of its vision for AI implementations across the full spectrum of consumer and enterprise applications. The presentation — which is the lead keynote for CES 2026 — will be led by CEO Dr. Lisa Su.
We’ll tell you how to tune in to the livestream and what else you can expect to see.
How to watch AMD’s keynote live
Dr. Su will deliver a keynote speech from the Palazzo Ballroom at the Venetian on Monday, January 5 at 9:30PM ET (6:30PM PT). You can watch the event live on the CES YouTube channel (we’ve embedded the livestream below).
What to expect
While AMD says it’s keeping its product details under wraps, we can expect “updates on AI solutions, from cloud to enterprise, edge and devices.”
It’s also likely that AMD will unveil its new versions of the Ryzen chips during its keynote on Monday, as Su will talk about the “advancements driven by Ryzen CPUs.” That could include the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, which is expected to have better single-threaded performance. Additionally, we can expect to see the Ryzen 9000G series, which is potentially built with AMD’s Zen 5 architecture.
Regarding AI, AMD could further discuss its new FSR Redstone technology, which it previously previewed on December 10. AMD’s upscaling tech aims to close the gap on NVIDIA’s DLSS 4, which was announced during CES 2025.
Su’s presentation caps off CES’s press day, so she’ll be taking the stage in the hours after rivals NVIDIA and Intel present their chipmaking and AI plans to the world. As a reminder of how cross-linked these companies have become: OpenAI has pledged billions of dollars of hardware orders to AMD, while rival NVIDIA has invested billions in OpenAI — and taken a stake worth billions in Intel, too.
