AMD leaps into Copilot+ PCs and outlines infrastructure GPU roadmap
Why it matters: AMD is in the unique position of being the primary competitor to Nvidia on GPUs – for both PCs and AI acceleration – and to Intel for CPUs – both for servers and PCs – so their efforts are getting more attention than they ever have. And with that, the official opening keynote for this year's Computex was delivered by AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su.
AMD unveils Ryzen 9000 CPUs, debuts new Zen 5 architecture
The 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X and three more new CPUs will debut next month
Highly anticipated: AMD has announced new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs based on the Zen 5 architecture, alongside new motherboard chipsets to support them. Additional details about the AM5 socket and new mobile chips with a heavy dose of AI were also revealed. We were briefed ahead of the Computex keynote, and are now over in Taipei, covering the floor with more coverage to come.
AMD Ryzen 9000 desktop CPU lineup leaked ahead of Computex launch
Something to look forward to: AMD is reportedly planning an initial launch of four Zen 5 CPUs ranging from 6 to 16 cores. The Ryzen 9 9950X flagship will be a 16-core / 32-thread CPU, followed by the 12-core / 24-thread Ryzen 9 9900X, the 8-core / 16-thread Ryzen 7 9700X, and the 6-core / 12-thread Ryzen 5 9600. The TDPs range from 65W for the 9600 to 170W for the 9950X.

AMD to introduce AI-based upscaling, potentially matching DLSS
Something to look forward to: AMD's FSR image upscaling technology has avoided using AI until now, which has been a double-edged sword in its competition against Nvidia's DLSS and Intel's XeSS. A recent interview with AMD's CTO indicates that the company plans to pivot sharply toward AI in 2024, with gaming upscaling as one area of focus.
AMD Zen 6 CPUs might integrate RDNA 5 for improved iGPU performance
Rumor mill: Although AMD has been integrating graphics into recent generations of its mainstream desktop CPUs, that implementation has been somewhat of an afterthought, with APUs receiving the company's best iGPUs. However, a reliable source suggests that this practice might change with Zen 6.
AMD Zen 5 CPUs tipped to enter mass production in Q3 2024
Ryzen 9000 "Granite Ridge" CPUs with Zen 5 cores are coming later this year
AMD is set to bring the heat with Zen 5, Ryzen 9000, and new X870E motherboards
In context: With mandatory USB4 support coming to AMD's next-gen X870E chipsets, upgrading to Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 CPUs could get pricey. The new connectivity standard requires an extra controller chip, which vendors will likely pass on as higher motherboard costs. Be ready to budget more than expected if you're planning a Zen 5 build.
