AMD might be on the verge of refreshing its more-than-a-year-old desktop APU lineup, the Ryzen 8000G, with new Krackan Point SKUs lifted straight from mobile. These APUs are built on Zen 5 architecture, using RDNA 3.5 graphics, and will offer a big jump in performance, paired with a 65W TDP.

AMD is preparing a refreshed Ryzen 9000-series Granite Ridge" lineup that boosts clock speeds, power limits, and 3D V-Cache capacity to deliver higher gaming and desktop performance.

A new PassMark entry has surfaced for AMD's unreleased Ryzen 7 9850X3D, giving the first look at how the chip compares against the current 9800X3D.

AMD didn't announce the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 at CES 2026, but others have come to the rescue. Alienware China has posted a video on its BiliBili account showing the 9950X3D2 coming to its Area 51 desktop, confirming the chip exists. Moreover, a UK-based system integrator has also put up the 9950X3D2 on its website as part of a workstation.
