Massive AMD leak promises a shining future for laptops, with a smorgasbord of new products landing in 2025

AMD’s entire CES 2025 lineup has reportedly leaked, promising a huge range of new hardware – including its new range of next-gen RDNA 4 GPUs.

The leak comes from ‘zhangzhonghao’ in a Chinese forum on Chiphell, who suggests AMD will be revealing: laptop CPUs, desktop CPUs, desktop GPUs, handheld gaming chips, and more – phew!

Here’s everything the leaker claims will be on show at next year’s CES:

• Ryzen 9950X3D/9900X3D (desktop CPUs)

While AMD might continue to fall behind Nvidia within the desktop GPU market, it doesn’t seem to be all doom and gloom in other hardware departments.

If it does show up at CES 2025, it will be yet another reason for AMD fans to be excited, particularly for the launch of new laptops. RDNA 2 has…
