After the Ryzen 5000 announcement yesterday, AMD also showed us a sneak peek of its upcoming Radeon RX 6000 series, with the performance figures at 4K in a few titles. There’s one red flag here, specifically with respect to ray-tracing. Although we know that AMD will support ray-tracing with RDNA 2, no performance figures have been shown. Neither do we know how it will be implemented. Will the BVH traversal and ray/box-intersecting be offloaded to the dedicated units or will some of it be handled by the shaders as indicated by certain sources.

A year or two ago it was nearly impossible to find laptops with anything other than Intel’s processors in the market, primarily because of a lack of viable options from sole competitor AMD, and also Intel’s brand recognition. However, AMD’s Ryzen mobile processors are now appearing in more and more laptops from every major brand. The Ryzen Mobile 4000 Series launched at the beginning of this year has been quite successful, but with some estimates pegging its current market share at just under 20 percent, there’s still a lot of room for growth.

Now for those of you who like to see numbers, AMD has compared its new lineup with its previous Zen 2 architecture-based CPUs as well as the Intel Core i9-10900K. The 12-core 5900X processor offers up to a 26% generational uplift in gaming performance and a 19% generational increase in instructions per cycle (IPC). It is also said to be 7% faster than the competition in 1080p gaming and an average of 26% faster in 1080p gaming generationally. The company hasn’t shared performance numbers for the Ryzen 9 5950X but claims it offers the highest single-thread and multi-core performance of any desktop gaming processor.

Ever since AMD launched Navi, its new GPU architecture at Computex, it was always expected for the production of older cards to decrease with time. Not just that, the fact that even more cards are expected to be launched in the Navi series in the future also puts a huge question mark on the availability of these previous-generation GPUs like the Radeon RX 5×0 series, RX Vega 56 and Vega 64.

AMD has introduced the highly anticipated Ryzen 5000 Series desktop processor lineup powered by the new “Zen 3” architecture. Offering up to 16 cores, 32 threads and 72 MB of cache in the top-of-the-line AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors dominate in heavily threaded workloads and power efficiency, while the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor offers up to a 26% generational uplift in gaming performance. With extensive improvements throughout the core including a unified 8-core complex with direct access to 32MB L3 cache, the new AMD “Zen 3” core architecture delivers a 19% generational increase in instructions per cycle (IPC), the largest since the introduction of “Zen” processors in 2017.

Gadgets 360: How has the ‘Zen 2′ architecture been scaled down and adapted for notebooks, and what do we need to know about the key differences between mobile and desktop Ryzen processors? Vinay Sinha: The most noticeable difference here is our selection of core count (up to 8 cores in mobile vs up to 16 in desktop) as well as our L3 cache size (8MB in mobile vs up to 64MB in desktop). Using a monolithic design in notebook applications saved power and space.

Chip maker AMD has announced its much-awaited Ryzen 5000 series processors for desktops. The first chips to use the next-gen Zen 3 architecture from the company, the new 5000 series chips promise massive performance gains over their predecessors. Under the series, the company has launched multiple CPUs, one of which is the 5900X processor, which according to AMD is the “world’s best gaming CPU”.

The AMD X570 platform features extensive PCI Express® 4.0 connectivity ripe for the latest graphics cards and SSDs. The chipset’s copious bandwidth necessitates a robust cooling solution to deliver sustained performance, and that challenge is typically tackled by neatly pairing a heatsink with an embedded fan that spins up on demand. ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero is the first ASUS X570 board to implement a completely passive cooling design, featuring a sizeable heatsink that extends from the chipset zone to the space between the PCIe slots. The additional surface area helps keep thermals under control even when the motherboard is loaded with a full complement of hardware, laying a compelling foundation for enthusiast PC builds.

The Wall Street Journal reported late Thursday that Advanced Micro Devices is in advanced talks to acquire Xilinx in a deal that could be valued at more than $30 billion. That is assuming Xilinx is able to land a decent premium to its unaffected market value of a little under $26 billion. The deal would pair two chip makers that typically work at very different ends of the market but have both been targeting data centers lately. Both also depend on the cutting-edge fabrication processes of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, or TSMC, to actually produce their chips.
