""AMD failed us," decried Gamers Nexus, pointing out that the company's keynote was entirely fixated on AI."
""They're selling ancient silicon, while we're selling up-to-date processors specifically designed for this market," Intel client product management director Nish Neelalojanan told PCWorld."
"AMD also didn't announce a new chip for handheld gaming PCs, no successor to the Z2 and Z2 Extreme it introduced a year ago, even as Intel publicly announced plans for an 'entire handheld gaming platform' and Qualcomm teased its own handhelds for a possible March reveal."
CES 2026 offered scant new desktop GPUs and few handheld announcements, leaving gamers largely underwhelmed. AMD concentrated public attention on AI while making a few consumer moves, including the Ryzen 7 9850X3D and Ryzen AI 400 for laptops. The company signaled a return to socketed mobile chips and indicated a price reduction for its high-end Strix Halo silicon. AMD did not unveil a successor to its Z2 handheld chips. Intel and Qualcomm publicly positioned themselves for handheld gaming, and Intel criticized AMD's continued use of older silicon in consumer devices.
