As one of the most watched industry giants at CES 2026, AMD has been very busy in the past few days. While releasing new products, it also introduces its huge future AI product plans. In addition, it also takes time to hold meetings and discuss with industry professionals and partners. At the same time, relevant responsible persons are interviewed by the media.
Due to the recent DRAM supply crisis, the outlook for the PC industry this year has become less optimistic. AMD has hinted that it will provide more Zen 3 processors that support DDR4 to meet the needs of AM4 platform users in order to mitigate the negative impact of the surge in DDR5 prices.
During CES 2026, Andrej Zdravković, President of AMD GPU Technology and Chief Software Officer, was interviewed to discuss issues such as graphics drivers and Linux support, as well as the future of the optional AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition AI Bundle.
Although AMD has repeatedly explained that FSR Redstone is only used in Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards with RDNA 4 architecture and has no intention of developing this technology for old architectures, many players have called for it to be decentralized to old graphics cards so that it can at least be used by RDNA 3 architecture products. Andrej Zdravković responded to this, saying that the boundaries were drawn when the RDNA 4 architecture was released. After all, enabling functions that do not meet the target may make the effect worse. However, AMD is not opposed to providing part of FSR Redstone in a beta-like form to those users who want to try it. The question is how to clearly define the support method.
In fact, Andrej Zdravković also hinted that FSR 4 Redstone technology may be open source, saying that he hopes to "work in an open manner as much as possible" and that this is a "long-term plan." At CES 2026, Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of rival Nvidia, also said that the latest generation of AI technology may be introduced to the previous generation of GPUs. The main reason is that the supply situation of DRAM is not optimistic and prices have soared, in order to alleviate the "storage crisis" of players through other means.
