AMD’s push into socketed desktop PCs that use the Ryzen AI 400 may yield an extraordinary bonus: the ability to buy a mobile Ryzen processor at a retailer like Newegg, install it, then upgrade that mobile processor into a desktop PC that uses it.

The whole AI PC trend didn't exactly set the world on fire last year, but, like clockwork, AMD is still ready to deliver a new batch of AI chips at CES 2026.

Now it’s getting the latest AMD chip too — just know the new 9850X3D is only a tad faster than the 9800X3D (AMD says roughly 7 percent uplift).

As a Windows system built inside of a functioning membrane keyboard, the HP EliteBoard G1a announced today is a more accessible alternative to other keyboard-PCs.
