Performance of strix point AMD Strix Point “Zen 5” APU Tested Again, 12-Core & 2.3 GHz Engineering Sample Ryzen Chip Now Ahead of Fastest Phoenix & Hawk Point APUs https://wccftech.com/amd-strix-point-zen-5-apu-tested-12-core-2-3-ghz-ryzen-faster-phoenix-hawk-point/

According to HKEPC, a 144-page document featuring specifications of AMD Ryzen CPUs based on Strix Point and Strix Halo series has been leaked. AMD is currently scheduled to deliver a keynote at Computex, possibly involving updates to Zen5 for desktops and mobile series. Hopefully, this will...

Apparently there is a leak Strix Point will continue to use a single-chip design, but the CPU core will be the current highest 8-core Zen 4 , 16 threads will be increased to 12 core Zen 5 and 24 threads. At the same time, the GPU will also be increased from 12 RDNA 3.1 CU units to 16 RDNA 3.5...

RDNA 4 to use memory slower than 7800 xt Worth noting that 1. 7900 GRE (probably intended for latops originally) launched with memory slower than 7800 xt 2. AMD had to unlock memory overclocking on 7900 gre to release significantly more performance...

Hopefully the drivers will be in shape by the time battlemage is released. Real battle will be in the $250 to $600 segment

Navi 48 (chip size of 6600xt/polaris 11) & Navi 44(chip size of 6500xt/polaris 14) are probably laptop chips repurposed for desktop https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-8000-rdna4-gpus-rumored-to-use-18-gbps-gddr6-memory

Prices will only drop further. Not sure how long you want to wait. Top RDNA 4 card should have raster of 7900 xt & RT of 7900 xtx / 4070 ti. Price should be in same range as 7900 gre !! (I expect it to be released along with FSR 4. But thats just a guess)

7900 gre now down to $510 If navi 48 raster = 7900 xt (which seems likely based on IPC & freq increase) then its price should be between $550 & $600 ??

AMD Radeon RX 7000 GPU Deals: 7900 XTX For $799, 7900 GRE For $510, 7800 XT For $457, 7700 XT For $351, 7600 XT For $299 Newegg has new ZIP discounts live across several GPUs, most of which are part of the AMD Radeon RX 7000 GPUs. These GPUs include all the way from the entry-level Radeon...

You can still find the 16gb RX 6800 for $375, but the RX 7700 XT at $395 is 5% faster and arguably makes more sense now. XFX has the SWFT 319 and 319 Core for reasonably competitive prices, but the next two cards are the QICK 319 Black and PowerColor Red Dragon OC at $530–$560, with almost no...

The official MSRP for the 7700 XT is likely a thing of the past, considering that Radeon RX 6000 availability is dwindling by the day, and both AMD and NVIDIA don’t have much in the pipeline until the next-gen drops. Currently, there are four models priced either at or below $399.99, which is...

7900 gre vs 4070: Overall, the RTX 4070 outperforms the RX 7900 GRE in the ray tracing games by 10–13 percent, while the RX 7900 GRE outperforms the RTX 4070 by 5–17 percent in rasterization-only titles. There are a few outliers worth mentioning. Borderlands 3 as usual heavily favors AMD GPUs...

potential instability issues during shader decompression in Unreal Engine when using a Raptor Lake/Raptor Lake Refresh chip. These stability issues can be so horrendous that Unreal Engine spits out an "out of video memory" error even though the problem is CPU-related. Two months ago, we first...

Cary Golomb made a very good point. Consumer APUs will not have memory bandwidth (256 bit) but custom hardware by Microsoft could. My best guess is that Microsoft is doing several prototypes now. Probably custom Xbox AMD handheld & a premium Surface Handheld but on standard hardware...

Makes sense that they would advance it since they don't have a plan for pro this gen Apparently no series S next gen but a handheld instead !!

That is an unnecessary mouse movement to bring back the task bar I prefer pinning it vertically on the side

My main beef is that the task bar is fixed to be horizontal thus eating up valuable vertical screen space (especially in laptops) That one feature alone is worth staying back on W10

RDNA 4 prediction: At the same clock, RDNA 4 CU is 12% faster in raster and 25% faster in ray tracing compared to RDNA 3 Navi 44 ($300?) should be ~= 4060 ti 8gb Navi 48 ($550?) should be double that ~= 4070 ti / 4070 ti super https://x.com/negativeonehero/status/1777177139747660208
