Sadly needed exotic cooling

Two of AMD's upcoming second-generation Ryzen processors have already been overclocked to more than 5.8GHz and beyond.

Settlement wrapped in a paper

Last year Nvidia stopped getting so called licensing money from Intel. After five years the financial injection was  delivered in total. This all came after the Intel and Nvidia conflict that started over chipsets, but essentially was a settlement that ended up being called licensing. It never was GPU licensing.  

ASRock, Asus, Biostar, Gigabyte, and MSI join the party

As expected, since AMD has now officially lifted the NDA (non disclosure agreement) from its second generation Ryzen 2000-series Pinnacle Ridge CPUs and the shiny new X470 chipset, most, if not all motherboard makers have announced their own versions, with some launching more than one motherboard to cover a wider market range.

To be available on April 19th

AMD has now officially announced details and the official pre-order launch of its Ryzen 2000-series CPUs that will use the improved Zen+ architecture and will start shipping on April 19th, alongside new X470-chipset motherboards.

Reporting directly to Jim Anderson

Up until January, Darren Grasby an ATI sales veteran, was working as President EMEA and Global Channel Sales at AMD. A month later he was promoted to run Corporate VR Global Computing and Graphics Sales and president for AMD in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

Years away -  2022 to 2025 

AMD has a video where it talks about the Ryzen and its success over the last year and Mike Clark Sr. Fellow Design Engineering was allowed to slip the Codename Ryzen 5 to his rapt listeners.

RX580 successor

We have been sitting on this piece of information for a while, but maybe it's the right time to share it with you. Navi 7nm the 2019 chip will not be a high end GPU, it will be a quite powerful performance/mainstream chip.

Not the faster refresh seen in the crystal ball

AMD has posted the specifications of all Radeon RX 500X series rebranded graphics cards forits  OEMs and it appears nothing much has changed from the original Radeon RX 500 series.

Another veteran of the ATI/AMD force

You have already read here that ATI/AMD's veteran Chris Hook left AMD after 17 years, and we now know that Sasa Marinkovic, another ATI/AMD veteran will be taking over his reins as director of product marketing.

After 17 years

One of the most prominent names in AMD’s RTG, Chris Hook, has left AMD. He walked away after seventeen years of ATI and AMD combined with his last job as Sr. Director, Global Product Marketing at AMD.
