AMD and Samsung Announce Strategic Partnership in Ultra Low Power, High Performance Graphics Technologies with RDNAedit
AMD and Samsung today announced a key strategic partnership in high performance graphics technologies for the mobile space. The agreement means that Samsung will license AMD’s Radeon graphics IP in its latest RDNA iteration, no less, for integration on smartphone graphics processing. Let me stress how impressive this can be: that AMD developed a graphics architecture that can scale from a high-performance GPU down to a nimble, fast, power-sipping module for mobile graphics processing.

Samsung to use AMD Radeon RDNA GPUs in its Smartphones: Gaming Mobiles Incoming?edit
A rather unexpected partnership was announced today between AMD and Samsung which will allow the South Korean smartphone manufacturer to use the former’s upcoming RDNAarchitecture in its mobile devices. AMD announced the RDNA GPU architecture a few days back at Computex, along with the Zen 2 based Ryzen 3000 and Epyc “Rome” processors. Unlike the GCN design, this new maco-architecture has been built from the ground up for gaming. So what does this imply? Is Samsung working on a gaming smartphone, to counter Razer’s recent attempts to establish a presence in the mobile gaming segment?

AMD 300-series and 400-series Motherboards to Lack PCIe Gen 4 with Ryzen 3000edit
This shouldn’t really be spelled out, but AMD clarified that you can’t have PCI-Express gen 4.0 running an upcoming Ryzen 3000 “Matisse” processor on older socket AM4 motherboards based on AMD 300-series and 400-series chipsets, and that the processor’s PCIe root-complex will run at PCI-Express gen 3.0 speeds. AMD’s official reason for this is that the older motherboards can’t guarantee reliable signaling needed for PCI-Express gen 4.0 and hence the company decided to blanket-disable PCIe gen 4.0 for the older platforms. This statement was put out by Robert Hallock, senior technical marketing head for CPUs and APUs, on Reddit.

Asus GTX 1660 Phoenix OC Edition Reviewedit
Metro Exodus is a significantly heavier game to run and it shows. The Asus 1660 OC managed 45fps on high settings at 1080p. At 1440p, this was bogged down to 32fps. Considering the 1660Ti does about 54fps at 1080p, this wasn’t hugely surprising. As a bonus, it’s also faster than AMD’s RX 580.

Rumor: AMD Navi a Stopgap, Hybrid Design of RDNA and GraphicsCoreNextedit
The Wheel of Rumors turns, and assumptions come and pass, sometimes leaving unfulfilled hopes and dreams. In this case, the rumor mill, in what seems like a push from sweclockers, places Navi not as a “built from the ground-up” architecture, but rather as a highly customized iteration of GCN – iterated in the parts that it actually implements AMD’s RDNA architecture, to be exact. And this makes sense from a number of reasons – it’s certainly not anything to cry wolf about.

Generally speaking, Snapdragon laptops are still not considered as powerful as their Intel and AMD counterparts. Hence, their current price tag doesn’t feel justified.
