Last year, AMD debuted its Ryzen AI Max chips as a way to create a single piece of silicon with powerful CPU cores, GPU cores, NPUs and integrated memory, similar to Apple's home-brewed chips. At the time, AMD VP Joe Macri also noted that the existence of Apple Silicon helped make the Ryzen AI Max chips possible.
AMD stock dips as profit-taking follows a huge 2025 rally, with technical resistance, CES competition and mixed analyst views.
AMD reveals its Helios rack-scale AI platform and next-generation Instinct MI400 GPUs at CES, highlighting exascale AI performance, 2nm GPU technology, and new enterprise and data-center AI platforms.
