What to expect

AMD is hot off the heels of its impressive Computex announcements, which included the details of its new Ryzen 3000 processors and a glimpse at its highly-anticipated RX 5000-series Navi graphics cards. We expect AMD to focus more on graphics this time around, and we’re hoping to get more details on AMD’s new graphics architecture and to learn just how it will be implementing them in a variety of platforms.

Here’s what AMD posted on Twitter, hinting at the multi-platform aspect to its new announcements:

With buzz around both game streaming in Google’s Stadia platform, as well as the rumors abuzz about new consoles, AMD seems to be hinting at the multi-platform aspect of its new products. The company even inked a deal with Samsung recently to bring Radeon to mobile devices in the future. Outside of that, AMD hasn’t given any more official word on just what it’ll be sharing. Regardless, it should be exciting.

Although Nvidia doesn’t have a press conference scheduled, AMD’s competitor is expected to drop new versions of its RTX graphics cards, referred to as “Super.” How will the two rival companies be standing by the end of the week? We’ll have to wait and see.

AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D may not give Intel any breathing room

The competition between Intel Arrow Lake and AMD Zen 5 hasn't been as fierce as usual, with both lineups delivering small gen-to-gen improvements. However, it seems that AMD may soon add a staple to its list of the best processors, and the CPU might be announced at the worst possible time for Intel. I'm talking about the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which now has a rumored release date alongside some performance benchmarks.

The release date speculation was initially shared on Bilibili, but the user has since deleted their post. However, the discussion continued on Chiphell forums, spilling the beans on both the official announcement date and the possible release date.

AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D might show up sooner than expected

AMD might be moving on 3D V-Cache versions of its Ryzen 9000 CPUs faster than expected. According to a leaker on the Chiphell forums, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which could be among the best processors when it releases, might arrive as soon as next month.

VideoCardz dug up the news, which started on the Chiphell forums. The leaker goes by the name zhangzhonhao, but VideoCardz notes that they went under a different alias previously, and that they have a long history of leaking company road maps. The forum post claims AMD will release the Ryzen 7 9800X3D at the end of October, while the Ryzen 9 9900X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D will arrive later. The leaker suspects they'll show up in early 2025 with "some new features."

AMD Strix Halo might give gaming handhelds a major boost

It looks like future gaming handhelds might have quite a lot of GPU power -- at least if this new AMD Strix Halo leak is to be believed. The upcoming APU lineup is said to come with up to 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units (CUs), which marks a massive upgrade from the last-gen Strix Point. They're also said to support up to 96GB of video memory.

By the looks of it, the Strix Halo might be more of a mobile workstation solution than a gaming product -- but with these specs, gaming on laptops equipped with these APUs should be entirely possible even without a dedicated graphics card. The specs sound really promising for gaming handhelds, though, including next-gen versions of the Asus ROG Ally X or the Steam Deck. Let's dig into what's said to be coming in 2025, as per the latest leak from Weibo.
