AMD shared a lot of information at CES, including the Ryzen 4000 CPU for notebooks, the Radeon RX 5600 XT graphics card, and updates to the FreeSync brand. revealed some more information, including details about Zen 3, future graphics cards, and ray tracing.

This talk, like the main presentation, focused on laptops. Dr. Lisa Su confirmed that the Ryzen 4000 series APUs use AMD's older Vega graphics architecture. However, she followed up by saying that "our APUs will have Navi, and they will be coming," but did not say when. [While the mobile Ryzen 4000 processors still use AMD's Zen 2 design, we already expect the desktop CPUs to have Zen 3 by the end of this year, and Dr. Suh confirmed this in her talk.

"We consider Zen 2 to be the best CPU core available today and are very proud of it. We have perfected the Zen 3 family and Zen 3 is doing really well. [...]. Just to be clear, you will see Zen 3 in 2020!" Dr. Lisa Su said.

Dr. Lisa Su also continued to emphasize the importance of ray tracing, but with the caveat that this technology is still in its infancy. She said, "I have said in the past, and I still believe, that ray tracing is important. [One should expect to see ray tracing in discrete graphics as we move toward 2020."

On the topic of graphics, Su also teased that a higher-end Navi card is in development, but did not reveal any timing or further details. He said, "I know people on Reddit want a high-end Navi! We should expect there to be a high-end Navi, and it's important that there is one."

He stated. [The former is starting to compete with x86 on laptops and servers, while the latter is an open source instruction set intended to compete with both ARM and x86. We believe there is a huge market for x86," he said. But from our perspective, focusing on x86 is the right thing to do. [Our focus is very clear: high-performance computing, and x86 is the leader for that."
