AMD FSR 3 Might Generate Up To 4 Interpolated Frames & Be Enabled On Driver-Side

The code states that AMD's FSR 3 will have a Frame Generation Ratio of up to 4 interpolated frames which means for each real frame, the technology can generate up to 4 interpolated frames. NVIDIA DLSS 3 also has frame generation technology which will generate one interpolated frame for every single frame when enabled. However, NVIDIA's DLSS 3 doesn't allow users to modify the frame gen value to anything beyond 1 nor it's part of the suite yet.

AMD Radeon RX 7600 to launch with $269/€299 MSRP

Instead of what was originally communicated as $299 [list] price, AMD has now settled on $269 and from what we quickly learned, for European gamers this means €299.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Graphics Cards Review Roundup

NVIDIA has just lifted the embargo on the first GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics cards. Kindly note that today’s embargo only lifts for NVIDIA Founders Edition and all cards that will be priced at MSRP ($399).

Is the RTX 4060 Ti one of the best graphics cards? That largely depends on how many games you play support DLSS 3 and whether you're willing to trade latency for AI-interpolated FPS. Looking at native performance in our GPU benchmarks hierarchy... , the RTX 4060 Ti comes in just ahead of the RTX 3070 at 1080p, but falls behind the RTX 3060 Ti at 1440p and 4K.

AMD Radeon RX 7600 reviews

The first reviews of Radeon RX 7600 graphics cards are now online. AMD has just lifted the embargo for the third member in the RDNA3 family for desktop PCs.

The AMD RX 7600 hits the sweet spot with sub-$300 pricing [reasonable $269 MSRP] but ultimately delivers similar performance as the previous generation RX 6650 XT [that costs slightly more].

AMD Confirms AM5 Socket Will Extend to 2026, Zen 5 to Use RNDA 3.5 GPUs

AMD has delivered an updated roadmap for its Zen CPU platform

the company has extended AM5's lifespan by one year, pushing it out to 2026. It has also revealed better-integrated GPUs for its upcoming CPUs

[AMD] ensures a four-year lifespan for its AM5 socket, ... Though that's not quite as long as AM4's unprecedented six-year lifespan, it's certainly better than the two years Intel has offered for its most recent platforms.

the roadmap confirms AMD will be adding RDNA 3 GPUs to Zen 4 desktop CPUs this year

it sounds like the company is planning a mid-cycle refresh for Zen 4, with upgraded GPUs and possibly a clock bump across the board.

The company will also continue with that strategy for Zen 5, adding what it calls RDNA 3.5 GPUs to the architecture.

[AMD] will probably continue to offer a 16-core, 32-thread flagship CPU with a 170W TDP but made on a more advanced node than those utilizing TSMC's 5nm process. It seems likely AMD will move to TSMC N4 or even N3 for both Zen 4 refresh in 2023 and Zen 5 in 2024.

AMD launches Ryzen PRO 7000 65W desktop series, Ryzen 9 PRO 7945 features 12 Zen4 cores

AMD Ryzen PRO series is designed for commercial and business use with increased security and manageability features. There are several new HP and Lenovo laptops with Ryzen PRO 7040 and 7030 on board coming soon.

AMD Ryzen CPUs getting cheaper: 5800X3D at $280, 7700X at $289, 7900 at $379 and 7900X3D at $520

All four CPUs were discounted at the same time, clearly indicating that this was a planned price change by the retailer [Amazon]. However, it is unclear if other retailers are to follow suit.

AMD and Bethesda team up for Starfield launch

The company [AMD] has announced it will be an exclusive launch partner for the upcoming sci-fi exploration game Starfield.

The partnership was announced by Todd Howard (Starfield Game Director) and Jack Huynh (AMD GM of CGG) and it confirmed that the game will be optimized for Ryzen 7000 and Radeon 7000 series at launch.

Furthermore, it is confirmed that Starfield will support FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 on day one

Bethesda did not confirm if the game will feature any technology from NVIDIA or Intel such as DLSS or XeSS.

AMD to Sell New Ryzen 5 5600X3D CPU Only Through Micro Center

The most affordable V-Cache CPU ever will sell for $229.

Though AMD originally priced the 5800X3D at $449 when it launched in April of 2022, it's since come down to $279 at Micro Center and other retailers. .. the 5600X3D version will be even tougher to ignore for those intent on riding the AM4 platform into the sunset. AMD had previously stated that it would still support its previous platform for years to come... Now it seems it wasn't bluffing, and maybe it will offer even more AM4 CPUs in the future.

In our testing, we found the eight-core version to be a fantastic upgrade option for folks using older CPUs, so it seems logical the Ryzen 5 version will also be a worthy purchase.

NVIDIA working on an updated “12V-2×6” power connector with improved safety

12VHPWR to be replaced by 12V2x6 connector

NVIDIA has been working on an updated power connector ever since problems with the 16-pin (12VPHWR) version were first reported. The cases of melting cables were narrowed down to improper connection between the power supply or GPU that was causing overheating.

The PCIe Base 6 connector will be compatible with some of the existing 12VHPWR connectors, but the new version will have different specifications with adjusted sustained power metrics that may require changes to the firmware in power supplies or graphics cards.

NVIDIA and PCI-SIG are now evaluating two options for the cable connector design, which was not chosen yet.

AMD Ryzen 5 7500F to launch this week, the first AM5 CPU without integrated RDNA2 graphics

AMD set to launch a new 6-core CPU this week, claims Korean retailer.

According to the first information that is publicly available, the CPU has indeed 6 cores, and it should be around 100 MHz slower than Ryzen 5 7600, offering the same core count. The CPU has already made an appearance on PugetBench website running on an X670E motherboard and DDR5-4800 memory.

[For Gamers] AMD CPUs Retain Dominance On Linux Platforms, Trails Behind Intel in Windows OS

the reason behind the inclination of Linux consumers towards AMD is the company's commitment to open-source technologies.

One well-known example is AMD's open-source GPU drivers (AMDGPU & AMDKFD), part of the Linux kernel, which the company continuously updates and improves. Moreover, AMD's ROCm (Radeon Open Compute) platform is also an open software platform for users to support HPC and machine learning.

AMD has been growing its presence in the Linux community, although ... behind in Windows, which is a much bigger platform. 96.77% of Steam's user base is on Windows while 1.79% and 1.44% share belongs to OSX and Linux. No one can deny that Windows is the gamer choice

NVIDIA Reportedly Wants Top GPU AIBs To Work Exclusively With Them, Intel & AMD Still Getting 2nd Grade Support

It is reported that NVIDIA has "threatened" board partners with limited GPU supply in case they opt for Intel, and the measures could extend to a potential ban....[the rumor source] hasn't quoted an official source or statement to back the claim; hence we urge consumers to take this with a grain of salt.

This is not the first time NVIDIA has been stated to do this sort of thing. ....Intel's Alchemist received no proper support from any of the top three AIBs which include ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte. The same is the case with AMD as the top SKUs from each brand don't feature a Radeon SKU. For ASUS, it's the ROG STRIX, for MSI, it's the SUPRIM X and for Gigabyte, it's the AORUS Xtreme.

NVIDIA is now shipping GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition with updated power connector

One notable difference in the new design is the inclusion of shortened sense pins. These pins have been reduced in length, effectively eliminating the GPU’s ability to communicate and negotiate with the power supply for higher wattage unless the cable is fully inserted. This modification helps prevent situations where high power is forced through a cable that is not fully seated.

The latest reports suggest that NVIDIA has incorporated this new connector design in the RTX 4090 Founders Edition, the first desktop GPU of this generation to feature the 12+4pin design. This minor alteration is expected to reduce the likelihood of the connector operating in unsupported conditions, such as when a cable is not fully seated and could potentially lead to melting or other issues.

AMD 6-core Ryzen 5 7600X CPU drops to $199, cheaper than 7600 non-X and comes with Starfield game code

What makes this deal even more enticing is that the Ryzen 5 7600X comes with a free Starfield game code,

Intel's faux 14th Gen isn't going to deliver the peak cheap gaming CPU we were teased with

Aww, it was looking so good for a second there; for the briefest moment it looked like Intel was going to make its Raptor Lake Refresh range of processors really count. Sadly, it seems like, aside from a barely relevant 200MHz clock speed bump on the upcoming 14th Gen chips, we're not going to see the major re-spec of the new CPU lineup earlier rumors had promised.

Obviously, these are rumors countering rumors, and as such it's hard to know exactly who has the true specifications for the unannounced range of processors, but the latest details look more realistic.

Intel Planning Price Hike Across All “Core” CPUs As a Part of Restructuring Policy

Intel will reportedly increase the pricing of its current CPU lineup to squeeze out revenue for fab development and restructure the company as a whole.

The news comes from the renowned German outlet PCGamesHardware, where the forum's moderator "Pockerclock" disclosed the information. The source contacted two German suppliers who verified a letter from Intel, which mentioned the price hike. Intel's decision was indeed unexpected, although it could have regional limitations
