Frontier supercomputer flexes Instinct MI250X muscle

AMD ran a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation using its Instinct MI250X accelerators and EPYC processors on the Frontier supercomputer, slicing runtimes from nearly 40 hours to just 90 minutes -- more than 25 times faster.

Barely boosted Zen 4 chips stumble into RTX 50-powered gaming laptops

As next-gen graphics cards crash into the gaming world with all the subtlety of a wrecking ball, AMD’s CPU follow-up is more of a polite cough. The new Ryzen 8000HX series—officially part of the so-called "Dragon Range Refresh"—has landed, and it's hard not to feel a sense of déjà vu.

Zen 5 power lands in C4D and H4D machines for HPC and AI

Google Cloud has thrown its lot further in with AMD, unveiling C4D and H4D virtual machines packed with 5th Gen EPYC silicon aimed at boosting performance across cloud workloads.

Sounds of PR silence

After more than 100 Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors keeled over, mostly while paired with ASRock boards, AMD has finally broken its vow of silence—only to point fingers at “memory compatibility.”

New CPUs promise desktop-class punch and RDNA 2 graphics on the go

AMD’s Dragon Range is breathing fire again. The chipmaker has just unleashed its Ryzen 8000HX mobility CPUs — a refresh of the 7000HX lineup — aimed squarely at high-end gaming laptops and mobile workstations.

Red Devil in Spectral White color option

PowerColor has introduced the latest Radeon RX 9070 series graphics cards, the Red Devil Spectral White AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB. This limited edition version will be coming in a full-white color scheme, including the PCB, shroud, backplate, and even the I/O shield, as well as packing all the high-end features of the Red Devil series. 

Inference, not training, may be AMD’s golden ticket

AMD might be down 50 per cent in six months, but investor Yiannis Zourmpanos (pictured) is doubling down, insisting the market’s missing the point. While the chipmaker continues to trail Nvidia, he says the prize isn’t in training gargantuan AI models—it’s in running them.

Ryzen Z2 Extreme gets a neural power-up

AMD is about to crank out a slightly rehashed version of its Ryzen Z2 Extreme APU for handhelds—but this time, it's flipping on the AI switch.

Ryzen 9800X3D flies off shelves as Core Ultra 200S faceplants

AMD’s Ryzen army continues to stomp on Troubled Chipzilla’s silicon dreams, with March 2025 sales figures showing Ryzen chips practically owning Amazon’s CPU charts in the US.

Flaming expensive 

More than 100 AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D chips have reportedly gone belly-up, most of them when nestled in ASRock motherboards.
