None of this matters without design wins and being in actual devices available. Which automatically disqualifies AMD. Interested in panther lake, it will probably be overpriced in very limited volume for the first 8-9 months though.
My worry is that by then Nvidia announce n1x at computex and release in the summer. It will then become a Dreamcast-PS2 situation. Why wait panther lake to become cheaper and more widely available when you can just get n1x by then.
But we'll see, this isn't the first time Nvidia has screwed up launches they could possibly again too.
AMD is expanding the Ryzen AI Max+ Strix Halo lineup at CES 2026 with the introduction of Ryzen AI Max+ 392 and the Ryzen AI Max+ 388 APUs aimed at AI developers. The Ryzen AI Max+ 392 and the Ryzen AI Max+ 388 are pretty much the same APUs as the Ryzen AI Max 390 and the Ryzen AI Max 385, respectively, introduced previously but now feature a 40-CU RDNA 3.5 GPU with 60 TFLOPs of compute.
