CES 2026 is nearly in full swing. Through this week, Las Vegas will be stuffed with the nerdiest people you know talking about, well, mostly AI. Though we do expect some promising new developments for PC gaming, with AMD’s CEO Dr. Lisa Su delivering a keynote address to open the show on January 5. We…
