A Chiphell forum user shared photos of an engineering sample of the unreleased AMD Ryzen 9 5900X3D, an AM4-era Zen 3 chip that appears to have been built for testing rather than retail. The sample has 24 threads, a 105 W TDP and a maximum clock speed of up to 4.85 GHz; monitoring tools reportedly showed it running at 4.65-4.73 GHz. -
Gotou_3rd has added more detail to the rumored AMD Ryzen Z3 handheld chips, saying the semi-custom Medusa Point parts are aimed at gaming devices and could still change before release. The leak separately lists four Zen 6 cores, two low-power Zen 5 cores and 12 RDNA4m Compute Units for the lineup. -
On Linux, d4r 0.1.2 now lets Radeon RX 9000 owners try experimental DLSS 4 and DLSS 4.5 support through Proton, although the feature has not yet been tested on actual RX 9000 hardware. Developer Countervolts added the support for AMD's RDNA 4 cards, but performance and image quality remain unknown. -
Fei-Fei Li's World Labs will keep developing spatial-intelligence models after AMD said it will buy the AI research lab in an all-stock deal valued at approximately $8.2 billion. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. -
The RX 9070 XT and RTX 5070 Ti are nearly neck and neck in games, but the price gap between them has reached $400. NVIDIA's cost per frame is 51% higher at 1440p. The extra money doesn't pay off in performance, though Team Green still has stronger software and DLSS 4. -
Insiders: GeForce RTX 60 won't arrive until 2028 — in 2027, only AMD may release a new graphics card
Gamers are being advised to hold on to their current graphics cards: it looks like the wait for the new generation will be a long one. -
AMD shares briefly topped $613 on Monday, setting an intraday record of about $613.92 before easing back below that level by the close. The move capped another sharp rally for the stock and pushed the company into a new valuation bracket, even though the milestone did not hold through the session.

AMD has shown how to trace rays in a scene with hundreds of millions of animated triangles without running into video memory limits. The difference from the conventional approach is tens of times. -
According to ChannelGate, AMD's planned price increase is tied to higher wafer costs at TSMC, whose manufacturing fees are reportedly rising across several process nodes. The company's dependence on TSMC as a fabless chipmaker means those costs can flow directly into its own pricing, with higher manufacturing costs at TSMC cited as the trigger. -
The PC market really could go a long time without new graphics card lineups from NVIDIA and AMD: at the very least, we're talking about a pause until 2028. If so, the current generation will stick around noticeably longer than expected. -
The flagship GeForce RTX 5090 unexpectedly lost to the Radeon RX 9070 XT in several gaming tests, even though in overall performance the cards are in completely different classes. The reason wasn't AMD superiority: in some scenarios the system hits a CPU bottleneck, and then the RTX 5090's extra power goes practically unused. -
AMD's product pages for Ryzen 5 7500 for AM5 and Ryzen 5 5500F for AM4 now list a launch date of September 10, 2026, although AMD has not shared pricing or full sales details. -
A Costco shopper who only stopped in for household supplies ended up with an MSI Aegis ZS2 gaming PC built around an RTX 5080, and the lucky find quickly spread across the web. The buyer, identified on Reddit as Primary-Football642, said the unexpected purchase turned into a viral story. -
Radeon RX 6000 owners can now try AMD FSR 4.1.1b through a DLL-only OptiScaler workaround, without the user-facing INT8 binary or the OptiScaler utility. The instructions say users need to download the DLL and swap it into the Binaries > Win64 folder in their game. The modified file also bypasses the INT8 check, making the feature a plug-and-play solution. -
Wccftech reported that Reddit user SpecialistConcept423 saw visible damage on a Ryzen 9 9950X3D after moving it onto an ASUS CROSSHAIR X670E Hero and trying a RAM BIOS preset. According to the account, the processor later showed brown marks, and the system would no longer boot. -
Roland Quandt says AMD is preparing a new AM5 chip called the Ryzen 5 7500, and he describes it as a plain six-core part with no F, no X3D, or any other suffix. The leak, posted on Bluesky, also points to 5.0 GHz boost speeds and built-in graphics.
According to Quandt, the rumored CPU carries 6 cores and 12 threads, a 3.7 GHz base clock, 38 MB of total cache, and a 65W TDP. The cache is broken down into 32 MB of L3 and 6 MB of L2, which puts it right alongside AMD's existing AM5 six-core parts on paper. -
VideoCardz says AMD's next Radeon architecture is still far from launch, but a new leak suggests it could be pushing much higher clock speeds than current chips. Insider Kepler_L2 says the target range for RDNA 5 is 3.1 to 3.4 GHz, based on internal AMD material he has seen, though AMD has not announced RDNA 5 Radeon products or confirmed any specifications yet. -
AMD finally managed to bring FSR closer to DLSS in terms of image quality, but NVIDIA has already changed the very goal of this race. While FSR 4 focuses on image reconstruction, DLSS 5 uses AI to add new details, lighting, and materials on top of an already rendered frame. The cost of this approach is currently steep: on RTX 50 series cards, the tech can eat up to half your performance, and neither AMD nor Intel has a competing solution right now. -
G.Skill's new Flare X5X memory line for AMD systems centers on AMD EXPO ULL (Ultra Low Latency), a tuning profile aimed at tighter timings. The debut configuration is a 32 GB kit made up of two 16 GB modules. -
AMD has listed Olympic Ridge as its standard Zen 6 desktop family for AM5 in its Technical Information Portal, with support for both existing and newer AM5 platforms. The company says the new desktop and mobile SKUs are expected to arrive around CES 2027.
