AMD didn't just respond to introductions from Intel and NVIDIA at CES 2019 — it came out swinging. The chipmaker had plenty to show at its press event, and frequently claimed a performance edge over its rivals. The centerpiece was undoubtedly the Radeon VII, the first 7-nanometer graphics processor aimed at gamers.

That's a lot to digest, but our recap should help catch you up in a hurry.
