AMD launches X100 chips for robots and physical AI

AMD introduced its X100 chip lineup, bringing Strix Halo APUs with Zen 5 CPU and RDNA 3.5 GPU cores to robotics applications. The chips are designed for 24/7 operation with a 10-year embedded lifecycle, and will also be offered as a Kria System-on-Module developer platform.

Why it matters: This puts AMD in direct competition with Intel's Panther Lake in the emerging 'physical AI' chip market, following Nvidia's own push into robotics silicon. It reflects how AI chipmakers increasingly see embodied and robotic applications as a growth area beyond data-center GPUs.
