Alienware’s flagship desktop finally ditched proprietary parts last year (no more Dell-specific motherboards) and welcomed AMD’s flagship Ryzen X3D desktop chips in November. Now it’s getting the latest AMD chip too — just know the new 9850X3D is only a tad faster than the 9800X3D (AMD says roughly 7 percent uplift).

As announced at CES 2026 (and revealed in a pre-briefing event held in New York), the panels feature a response time of 0.2 milliseconds, 15 times faster than before (3ms), WQXGA resolution (2,560 x 1,600), a 240Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 620 nits, and an anti-glare coating that reduces gloss by 32 percent.
