Reporting on the financial statements from multi-billion dollar companies isn't our usual fare but when the company in question has a huge impact on the world of PC gaming, it's worth paying attention to how well things are going. AMD's revenue and operating income for the first quarter of 2024 have been announced and it's great news for its big processor sectors but not so great for its gaming division.
AMD has revealed that it's now sampling its next-generation Zen 5 CPUs to partners including Turin "EPYC" & Strix "Ryzen" processors.
We've suspected AMD's Granite Ridge family of Zen 5 based processors might show their faces soon, given that AMD has already said it's aiming for a launch in the second half of this year, and CEO Dr. Lisa Su is set to deliver the Computex keynote on June 3. Now Gigabyte has released a BIOS update for several of its AM5 series of motherboards in anticipation of the new chips, and it seems to confirm that they'll be called the AMD Ryzen 9000 series.
The launch of AMD's Zen 5 based Granite Ridge family of processors is clearly drawing near. Asus has begun the process of rolling out support for the next-gen chips to its latest enthusiast tier X670E motherboards. The public release of supporting BIOSes indicates the chips could be released at basically any time.
CPUs based on AMD's upcoming Zen 5 microarchitecture are markedly faster than their predecessors, especially in specific workloads, according to known hardware industry leakers. The company has stated that some of the new chips will arrive sometime this year.
TinyCorp, the company that has recently made headlines due to its AI venture, has ultimately decided to part ways with AMD due to the firmware constraints they are witnessing and now utilizing NVIDIA and Intel hardware.
AMD has finally made its HIP Ray-Tracing library an open-source asset, allowing developers to incorporate RT capabilities into applications and leverage them.
