A Danish Redditor posted up a thread last night called "So this just happened" with a picture of his scorched Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor. You can clearly see the heat damage to the bottom of the CPU; some of the landings have come off of the chip and melded with the LGA socket. The user says he simply "watching some...

Oh boy, I can hear the clanging of pitchforks and crackling of fire from torches over the notion that AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 9070 XT will somehow challenge NVIDIA's flagship GeForce RTX 5090, which is a monster GPU and the fastest graphics card for gaming on the planet. But hear me out. In this context, I'm talking...

The GPU stage is being set for one of the more interesting battles we've witnessed recently. NVIDIA has shown some of its cards by releasing the high-end GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 out into the wild. Those launches have not gone smoothly, however, with massive shortages and price increases immediately after...

Investors are fickle bunch and if you need proof of this, just look at AMD's share price this morning. It's down by more than 10% in early hours trading, despite AMD posting a monster quarter (another one) with a record $7.7 billion in revenue, along with massive gains in the data center—up 69% year-over-year for the...

AMD is gearing up to launch its RDNA 4-based Radeon RX 9000 series, but if you're a Red Team faithful hoping for new Radeon GPUs in gaming laptops, you might be waiting a while. The company officially announced the first desktop GPUs in the lineup—the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT—at CES 2025, but conspicuously absent...

Much of the discussion around upstart Chinese AI firm Deepseek's technology has been centered around the idea that it can be deployed using considerably less powerful hardware than is typically required for useful language models. That means you can run it directly on your home PC; no internet connection required at...

If you've been anxiously awaiting AMD's GPU response to NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 series, price is likely one major focal point. We've learned little about the upcoming Radeon RX 9070 XT and 9070 since we were first made aware of them, especially compared to the information we know about its competitors. This causes plenty of speculation on

In a recent interview, with Notebookcheck, AMD's Ben Conrad made a bold claim: Strix Halo's integrated GPU offers memory bandwidth equivalent to NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 mobile GPU. Well, maybe it's not that bold, really; both data points are known, so it's easy to compare. Let's do that.
The Ryzen AI MAX...

We've come a long way since the days when hulking PC towers were both the norm and a symbol of how much power you wielded on your desktop. In the modern era, manufacturers are able to cram quite a bit of computing muscle inside a comparatively minuscule chassis. One of the notable player in the mini PC space is...

AMD is taking a patient approach to launching its Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 after introducing the cards at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas earlier this month. The company followed this up a couple weeks later by confirming the cards will land at retail in March. If some early retail...

It was just this Monday that we learned we'd be waiting until March before AMD's next-generation Radeon GPUs made it retail shelves. A tweet from AMD's David Mcafee, the company's Corporate Vice President and General Manager, was the first formal acknowledgment of a narrower release window for the RDNA 4 GPUs than...

If you managed to score an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, first of all, kudos to you on procuring what's been a highly elusive chip (thanks, Intel!) and a great one to build a gaming PC around. That said, you might be wondering if you'll have buyer's remorse once the Ryzen 9 9900X3D and especially the Ryzen 9 9950X3D...

As we've discussed before, AMD didn't really talk about its RDNA 4-based graphics cards at CES 2025, despite briefing the press on the topic. The company gave a vague "Q1 2025" release window for the cards, but given that product has already started showing up at retailers, many have expected that the GPUs would be...

At first glance, the processor in the photo above appears to be a genuine Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor. It sports AMD's uniquely-shaped integrated heatspreader (IHS) with grooves exposing the PCB on all four sides, it's labeled as a Ryzen 7 9800X3D chip, and it's the correct size. However, a closer examination reveals...

AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT is expected to be the fastest GPU that the company launches using its RDNA 4 architecture. Despite that, by AMD's own estimates, it seems like it will probably perform around the same level as the GeForce RTX 5070. That's far off from the higher-end NVIDIA GPUs, which would seem to prove true...

Now that AMD's latest-generation Zen 5 processors have been on the market for a minute or two, the wait is on for the inevitable launch of a new round of Ryzen Threadripper processors. They're presumably coming, as evidenced by multiple leaks. The latest such leak is a shipping manifest that lists out a couple of...

AMD briefed us on the Radeon RX 9070 series and the RDNA 4 architecture when going into CES 2025, but the company's brief 45-minute keynote completely skipped over the topic of graphics and GPUs, with nary a mention of the word "Radeon" outside of the context of AI processing. The company's excuse was that it simply...
