AMD, or Advanced Micro Devices, is a semiconductor company that designs processors, graphics chips and accelerated computing products. Its technologies serve personal computers, servers, data centres, gaming systems and embedded devices. AMD competes across CPU, GPU and AI accelerator markets, relying on manufacturing partners to fabricate many of its chip designs.
AMD’s technical documentation links the upcoming Olympic Ridge desktop family to Socket AM5, reinforcing the company’s platform-support pledge while leaving product specifications and release plans undisclosed.
AMD’s latest x86 shipment gains mark a meaningful competitive shift, but Intel remains the clear market leader and the figures require careful interpretation.
GPD has set a $1,750 starting price for the Win Max 3, arguing that component costs leave little room to reduce the price of its unusually powerful handheld PC.
AMD’s remediation for a TPM 2.0 reference-code flaw is available through OEM BIOS releases, but protection depends on each affected system receiving and installing the appropriate firmware update.
AMD has added the Ryzen 7 449 and Ryzen 5 439 to its mobile Ryzen 400 lineup, retaining Zen 5-based CPU and RDNA 3.5 graphics resources while omitting the dedicated AI engine found in Ryzen AI equivalents.
Mesa’s addition of AMD GFX11.7 support is an important software-enablement milestone for an unannounced integrated GPU family, but it does not yet confirm the products, specifications or release schedule behind it.
AMD’s planned acquisition of Taalas is a bet that highly specialised, model-specific chips can make selected AI inference workloads faster, cheaper and less power-intensive than general-purpose accelerators.
A report claiming that AMD’s Zen 6 desktop processors could deliver 15–18% more gaming performance than Zen 5 is plausible in outline, but remains an unverified projection rather than a product benchmark.
AMD’s second-quarter results show that data-centre demand is reshaping the company’s revenue mix, profitability and near-term growth outlook.
AMD’s Instinct MI455X pairs an unusually large 432GB HBM4 memory pool with a 320-billion-transistor design, signalling that rack-scale integration is now as important as accelerator specifications.
Early third-party testing places AMD’s Radeon RX 9050 behind Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5050, but the result requires caution until broader, standardised reviews arrive.
Supply-chain reports point to a further rise in AMD Radeon board costs, but a 10% increase in GPU-and-memory bundle pricing would not automatically translate into an identical retail increase.
