I’ve Never Been This ANGRY and CONFUSED - AMD 2025 Product Update (CES)

The video covers AMD’s CES 2025 product update, focusing on a wide array of new desktop and mobile CPUs, GPUs, and AI accelerators, while also venting about the confusing branding and naming schemes. The host starts by highlighting impressive claims like the Ryzen 9 9900 X3D and 9950 X3D, which reportedly push high boost clocks and promise strong performance in both productivity and gaming. He notes that AMD also teased RDNA 4 GPUs with a 4 nanometer process, second-generation AI accelerators, and third-generation ray tracing, but immediately contrasts this with frustration over the naming scheme that makes it hard to decipher what you’re actually buying. The discussion then moves to the mobile stack, including Ryzen HX CPUs with Zen 5, up to 16 cores and multi-hundred-watt power envelopes, and the Ryzen AI Max lines aimed at ultra-performance laptops with substantial on-board graphics. Throughout, the host compares AMD’s approach to Intel and Nvidia, criticizing the branding as messy while acknowledging the technology’s potential and the excitement around seeing new devices, CPUs, GPUs, and AI features in action.
