If you've been thinking about building a new high-end AMD system—or upgrading an older AM5 rig—now's a great time. Amazon just slashed prices on several top-tier Ryzen CPUs, including the brand-new Zen 5 parts, and even better, most of them come with a free copy of February's system smasher Monster Hunter Wilds. We've rounded up the best deals

AMD confirmed it will be hosting a press conference at this year's Computex event in Taipei. It will be a livestreamed affair, so you can tune in and watch in real time. Why would you want to? On its Computex landing page, AMD hints at there being a "key" gaming product announcement at the event, which could mean...

We all know that AMD and NVIDIA will continue fleshing out their latest generation graphic card lineups based on RDNA 4 and Blackwell, respectively. Case in point, NVIDIA this week released its GeForce RTX 5060 Ti to the wild, and a non-Ti variant probably isn't far behind. For AMD, it's largely assumed that a Radeon...

AMD put out a release yesterday, justifiably crowing that one if its EPYC "Venice" processors was the first HPC product to tape out and be brought up on TSMC's advanced 2nm (N2) chip process tech. That's certainly good news for AMD, but it's not the only firm seeing success with bleeding-edge chip fabrication...

More mainstream graphics card options are coming for gamers in need of a more affordable upgrade path to the newest generation GPU architectures. We saw this today with the official unveiling of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and GeForce RTX 5060 cards, and AMD is expected to counter with its Radeon RX 9060 XT. While...

We all know it's only a matter of time before AMD fleshes out its RDNA 4 GPU lineup with more mainstream and budget Radeon 9000 series models. Those plans may include a version of the Radeon RX 9070 with some key changes to the VRAM configuration, at a lower price point. The downgraded memory configuration would not...

It should come as no surprise that the best-selling CPU on Amazon is AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D, a fantastic chip for gaming and one that managed to earn our Editor's Choice award when we reviewed it last November. And maybe you wouldn't be shocked to discover that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D—another Editor's Choice recipient...

It took a minute (and not a New York minute), but Microsoft is taking the leash off of most of its Copilot+ features that were tethered exclusively to Snapdragon X series laptops, and letting them roam free on Copilot+ PCs powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300 series and Intel Core Ultra 200V processors. The only exceptions are...

Ever since at least the Ryzen 3000 series, AMD's release schedule for its Ryzen desktop processors has been to launch the enthusiast-focused "X" processors first, followed by the very-slightly neutered "non-X" versions after. The standard model Ryzen chips usually differ from their "X"-branded brethren only in that...

While GPUs have been all the rage lately, CPUs deserve proper attention as they're vital to the gaming experience. XPG has unveiled its latest CPU cooler, the Ultimate LEVANTE II 360. This all-in-one liquid cooler is able to handle CPUs up to 320W TPD, which is quite the overhead for many products. AMD's popular Ryzen...

If you're of a certain age, you might remember those Maxell cassette tape ads that featured a man in sunglasses in a recliner being literally blown away by the sound coming out of his hi-fi speakers. That's a bit like how we feel as we continue to test and benchmark this forthcoming laptop sporting AMD's new Ryzen 9...

A fresh leak from familiar self-described "PC Tech Fan" 포시포시 (better known as @harukaze5719 on Xwitter) has revealed details about AMD’s upcoming Gorgon Point mobile APUs. The information comes from a Naver.com article covering an LG Gram × Ryzen launch event, where slides detailing AMD’s roadmap were apparently shown. We say "apparently"

AMD was quick to debunk a recent report claiming it revealed combined Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 shipments had topped 200,000 units. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. Either way, AMD never shared an actual specific tally. In the days since, however, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su did provide an interesting figure...

It's been six months (yes, really) since we were first introduced to the Zen 5 CPU architecture with the Ryzen 9000 series desktop CPUs, and it's been nearly a year and a half since AMD unveiled the Threadripper Pro 7000 series processors. Isn't it about time for a new Threadripper generation? Apparently so, because...

AMD's just launched its Strix Halo high-end mobile APUs, but progress marches ever forward, and so it goes that we are now looking at leaks concerning the Strix successor, supposedly known as Medusa Point. Based on the Zen 6 "Morpheus" CPU core, Medusa Point has been said to sport a twelve-core CPU CCD as well as an...

One of the neat aspects of graphics cards is in the vast variety of models that release with varying levels of design. To that end, Acer has introduced some interesting custom GPUs of its own, based on the freshly-minted AMD Radeon RX 9070 family. The Acer Predator BiFrost sounds menacing from its name alone, and is...
