It's not just a couple of Zen 5 CCDs thrown together with a new GPU die.

Barebones kits to start in the $500+ pricing range.

If you've been waiting to buy a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, you can now get one at higher asking prices if you live in Germany.

AMD is taking its victory lap a little early.

Made in the USA, mostly anyway...

Is Zen 5 that good or is Arrow Lake falling short of expectations?

Strix Halo, Krackan Point, Ryzen 9000X3D, Fire Range, and Hawk Point Refresh in one frame.

Desktop silicon ported to mobile.

Only a matter of time until we see a "Radeon AI" tag stamped on these GPUs.

AMD's RX 9070 XT reference cooler seemingly takes inspiration from its RX 7900 XTX/XT triple fan cooler but features several major changes.

New mid-range motherboards for AMD Ryzen 9000 CPUs are coming soon.

This is related to my previous question about AM5. Turns out 2 8x lane GPUs on AM5 might be an option after all.

So my question: Does a 16x lane PCIe GPU always support x8 lanes as well? (Like a Radeon RX 7900 XTX or something bigger and better from the future.)

Hello!

I'm looking into buying a system for running inference with small to medium size LLM models. I wonder, is there any AM5 CPU + Chipset combination that supports 2x PCIe 16x with all lanes connected directly to the CPU? From what I've gathered my understanding is that there is no such configuration because the Ryzen 7000/9000 only have 24 PCIe lanes at best. This means I have to go for a Threadripper configuration, which is much more expensive. (The ROCm mGPU documentation states that all lanes shall be connected directly to the CPU.)

It's possible that I can manage running two GPUs with 8x lanes, but it's for sure not optimal..

But the thing is, it is quite hard for me to navigate the AMD website and the websites of various motherboard producers. I might very well be wrong.

So again: Is there any AM5 CPU + chipset combination that supports 2x PCIe 16x with all lanes connected directly to the CPU?

Hello Strix Halo.

17
 
 

Quad-core CPUs are still not dead. Not yet, anyway.

18
 
 

It should make for a great budget laptop chip.

AMD has now issued firmware updates for cloud providers.

21
 
 

Ryzen and Ryzen Threadripper 1000 and 2000 series have also been discontinued with this latest update.

We. Want. More.
