CES 2026

AMD is at 04h30, and I am not watching that given our timezone:


It will be AI loaded. The keynote is titled "together we advance_AI."
 
Intel is doing a down to earth presentation. No hype, nothing anchored by marketing other than boring slides. This might be real, Intel could be back. 18A might be it.

Okay wait, they are comparing B390 to AMD Radeon. Oh, no... It is mobility though. They best hope the graphs don't lie.
 
I guess no B770. They missed the queue.

Yes, that is a chat screenshot. All they are doing now is talking about AI.
 
At least ASUS ROG has some nice new products and updated products, but I don't want to see the prices.

Intel will have business, ASUS announced Intel Core Ultra Series 3 adoption. It looks good. The handhelds will take some time...
 
I have been watching social media, and though NVIDIA's Vera CPU is impressive, it isn't a consumer product. The reaction to it is strange. All I want to know is how AMD will respond to Vera Rubin? NVIDIA will be hard to beat. Exceptional engineering.
 
Intel's chance at chomping back marketshare lies in mobility. Laptops, handhelds, etc. The AI game is tough, unless Nvidia invites them into their ecosystem, which is now possible.

A interesting development is the AI talks now pivoting toward hybrid agentic AI, and localised AI. Hmmm, I guess they have been watching the consumers reaction to the rapid AI developments. Hybrid doesn't allow you to escape the AI ecosystems. It allows service continuity and privacy, but you will still need to be 'plugged in'. Heh, there is a broader discussion to be had here.
 
Anyhow, I need to go to sleep now and I am hoping to wake up to FSR "Redstone" being available on RDNA 3.

For updates, TechCrunch has one running:

 
The companies on the Intel handhelds list as per the slide include:

- Acer
- Compal
- Foxconn
- GPD
- Inventec
- MSI
- ONEXPLAYER
- Pegatron
- Quanta
- Wistron
- and... MS

This likely includes the modular tablet gaming handheld devices, or concepts, showcased at CES 2025. I know Quanta had something like that, but they are an ODM like some others mentioned. MS is an interesting one since they have the collab with ASUS... and that is an AMD-powered device.
