You might not know it by looking at AMD's stock price this morning (more on that later), but the company is coming off its biggest-performing quarter, with third-quarter revenue tallying $6.8 billion. That's an 18% increase year-over-year and a 17% jump sequentially. This led to a monster gain in net income (profit)...

Maybe you splurged on a decked-out motherboard for your AMD or Intel build with a model that's chock full of bells and whistles, as well as copious overclocking potential. That's all well and good, but can you jam two processors into that thing, and/or cram a staggering 24 terabytes (yes, TERABYTES) of RAM into a sea...

Once upon a time, there were a myriad of CPU architectures vying for dominance. Occasionally, you'd even have multiple architectures from the same vendor competing against each other. As happens in competitive environments, processor ISAs died off one-by-one until the modern day, where we basically have x86-64 for...

At this point, AMD EPYC is certainly a brand which needs no introduction. AMD's dense server processors, based on its Zen 5 and Zen 5c core architecture, build on AMD's consumer PC origins to offer many-core solutions with huge compute resources and capabilities that continue to outstrip what people might have...

After the competent but uninspiring performance of AMD's Ryzen 9000 processors, the PC enthusiast space is looking for some real excitement to drag it out of the doldrums. Some folks are so weary of the same old stuff that they're actually excited about the PS5 Pro launch, despite it's lofty price tag. Don't fret...

In case you haven't been paying attention, artificial intelligence (AI) is a red hot field, which extends into the lucrative data center. Up to this point, NVIDIA has dominated the category with strategic investments in GPU architectures and infrastructure. It's not alone, however, and AMD is making a bold bid to beef...

If you're rocking an AMD build, there's a high chance you're vulnerable to a serious security flaw that's been dubbed Sinkclose. That Ryzen 7 7800X3D pictured above? It's affected, as is the entire Ryzen 7000 series range and a slew of other processor models dating back to 2006. Another tidbit that won't give any AMD...

The AI chip boom is benefiting the bottom line of big tech firms, and further proof of that comes by way of AMD's latest earnings report. For the second quarter of 2024, AMD generated over $5.8 billion in revenue, which is a gain of 7% sequentially and 9% year-over-year, and increased its net income to $265 million...

The Ryzen 9 9950X isn't actually available yet, but benchmarks have been cropping up all over the web. We reported before on some leaked results in Geekbench, but today we have a pile of multi-threaded tests from a fellow on the Anandtech forums who got ahold of an ES (engineering sample) Ryzen 9 9950X and has been...

Tenstorrent's name might not have quite the same cache that NVIDIA's does when it comes to AI acceleration yet, but the company's unique approach has a lot of benefits. Between a royalty-free RISC-V processor ISA and highly scalable AI accelerator designs, the company promises it can lower the total cost of ownership...

The artificial intelligence (AI) arms race is reaching a fever pitch, bolstered by AMD signing a definitive agreement to acquire Silo AI, Europe's biggest private AI lab, in an all-cash deal valued at around $665 million. That's not chump change and we could see more big-dollar investments like this as companies look to add to their AI arsenal,

AMD's upcoming Ryzen AI 300 series processors based on its 'Strix Point' design are pretty cool, but they're essentially an iteration on its previous-gen Phoenix parts. The really exciting new chip supposedly still on the way from AMD is 'Strix Halo', a monster microprocessor meant for luxurious laptops and mighty mini-PCs. It purportedly

Application performance obviously uses hardware speed as a baseline, but software optimizations are ultimately where large gains can be realized. It's not uncommon for developers to make an application run five, ten, twenty, or even a hundred times fastersomething you'll never do by replacing the hardware. Intel has...

There were a whole bunch of brand-new laptops at Computex sporting fresh AMD and Intel silicon, but of course, con-goers aren't supposed to put hands on them, run benchmarks, and upload them to the internet. So we didn'tbut a few naughty attendees did, and today we're looking at one such "leak" from a user on Bilibili...

It's midnight right now in your author's native Texas, but it's only 1:00 PM in Taiwan, and not long before, AMD wrapped up the opening keynote for this year's Computex Taipei. We've already covered numerous announcements made during the keynote, including the Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs, the Ryzen AI 300 mobile...

It's hard to remember now, but the original AMD Ryzen processors topped out at "just" 8 cores. The Ryzen 3000 family came along in 2019 with the Ryzen 9 branding and the first sixteen-core desktop CPUs. Even in the enterprise market, 16 CPU cores can be overkill. However, you can't just go buying consumer PC hardware...

We're fast approaching Computex Taipei 2024, where AMD is broadly expected to announce its next-generation processors based on the Zen 5 architecture. However, the combined efforts of leaker Everest and veteran programmer InstLatX64 may have revealed some fascinating details about the company's next-next CPUs, based...

The Aurora supercomputer at the Argonne National Laboratory, powered by Intels Xeon Max series of processors, is the new AI king with the ability to reach 10.6 AI exaflops of compute. On top of taking the AI crown, it also managed to break the exascale barrier, hitting 1.012 exaflops for scientific applications. The...

AMD's Ryzen 9 desktop processors include two "Core Complex Dice", or "CCDs", which is to say that the processors' 12 or 16 CPU cores are spread across two pieces of silicon. The company's top 3D V-Cache-equipped CPU, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, is known for only including 3D V-Cache on one of its two CCDs.
In theory, this...
