Su is expected to outline AMD's plans to compete in cutting-edge AI, while Amon will"showcase the AI-accelerated experiences users can expect from their next-generation PCs", according to the organisers.Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger and Rene Haas, head of the British chip design giant Arm, will also speak at the event.
