AMD’s ‘milestone’ CES keynote will contain next-gen announcements

AMD’s CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, will be kicking off the new year in style in Las Vegas with the company’s first CES keynote, something she calls a "major milestone for AMD." But she has also promised to make “some exciting announcements about our next-generation products” at the Consumer Electronics Show. Su has been talking about AMD’s CES keynote with organisers CTA (Consumer Technology Association) with a brief interview on the company’s blog. In the interview she talks about the show being used to introduce the “newest trends in high-performance computing, AI, and consumer electronics” and goes on to tease some of the contents of her keynote speech on January 9. While AMD’s CEO will be making announcements about next-gen kit, that doesn’t necessarily mean Dr. Su will be specifically announcing new 7nm CPUs and GPUs, especially not with regards to our more niche desktop needs. She prefaces her CES teaser talking about how AMD is “poised to launch the world’s first 7nm high-performance CPUs and GPUs, which will strengthen [its] position in machine learning, AI, and the datacenter markets.”
