AMD has been working on the Ryzen AI 300 APUs, Strix Halo, Krackan APUs, and a few other new products aside from the mainstream consumer-grade CPUs and GPUs. To that extent, AMD has a lot of major announcements to make and seems to be having a busy year.
A recent leak suggests that AMD will be releasing some of its products in a special event in October later this year. Plus, the company might also preview some of the much-awaited products at the CES 2025.
AMD may unveil new processors at a special event, and preview Strix Halo and Krackan APUs at CES 2025
According to the latest post from Hoang Anh Phu, AMD could schedule a special event in October, specifically on October 10th (10.10) to launch Strix PRO, Turin (Classic and Dense) processor, MI325X AI processor, and Xilinx accelerator. These products are geared more towards workstations and professional use rather than mainstream usage.
Further, the same post also mentioned that AMD would be previewing the Strix Halo and Krackan APUs at the CES 2025, which might scheduled sometime in January next year. The Strix Halo is targeted toward enthusiasts, while the Krackan APUs are more of mainstream products.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from AMD about these releases or the special event, so take this speculation with a grain of salt. It is worth noting that there is no mention of the RX 8000 series GPUs, which will be AMD’s next lineup of discrete graphics cards after the RDNA 3 range. It is speculated that AMD will be launching the RDNA 4 GPUs in 2025.
In case you missed it, last week, AMD launched two of the processors, the Ryzen 5 9600X and the Ryzen 7 9700X, from the new Ryzen 9000 series. The other two processors, Ryzen 9 9900X and Ryzen 9 9950 are scheduled to release later today.
