The launch of 3rd Gen Ryzen appears to be going down very well, leading to a big boost in AMD CPU market share.

There has been plenty of talk surrounding 3rd Gen Ryzen processors and the X570 platform over the last couple of months, but we haven't heard much about what's next for Threadripper. We were already told that AMD would be revisiting Threadripper in the future and a third generation could be …

Looking for a new CPU upgrade? AMD delivers in spades with the Ryzen 3900X and 3700X

The last few weeks in the computing world have been dominated by AMD - the company stole the show at Computex with its Ryzen 3000 processors and accompanying X570 motherboards, while at E3 we got our first looking at the upcoming RX 5700 graphics cards. You can bet our grumpy hero, Mr Leo Waldock, has a lot to say on these two topics, so here he is with an AMD Special Edition of 'Leo Says'.

Microsoft has begun sharing specs for its next-gen Xbox, powered by AMD's Zen 2 and Radeon RDNA architectures.

After a long day at Computex, Leo is sharing his first impressions and reactions to AMD's 3rd Gen Ryzen launch.

3rd Gen Ryzen is officially here. The Zen 2 architecture has paved the way for 7nm, IPC improvements, higher core counts and more, all at sensible prices.

AMD has been making a habit of showing up at E3 for a few years now. Back in 2015, we saw Lisa Su arrive to launch the Radeon R9 Fury. One year later, AMD returned to the gaming-focused event to show off DOOM running on Ryzen, while also announcing the …

There is no doubt that so far, Ryzen has been a huge success for AMD. Not only has competition been restored to the mainstream and high-end gaming segments of the CPU market, but Threadripper also posed a huge challenge to Intel’s HEDT line up. We are closing in on the …

Leo has a lot to say this week, and he bought an iPAD PRO, Gen 3. His first Apple product, ever !

CEO, Dr. Lisa Su will be presenting AMD’s first-ever CES keynote to unveil the firm’s new 7nm technology in 2019.

While Nvidia has seemingly stole the spotlight with its 12nm Turing architecture and ray-tracing RTX cards, it seems as though the switch from GlobalFoundaries to TSMC hasn’t slowed AMD’s production of 7nm computing and graphics chips. In fact, Team Red is on track to debut its 7nm GPUs in the …

With GloFlo dropping out of the 7nm race, AMD turns to TSMC for future 7nm CPUs and GPUs.

Closing out its Computex announcements, AMD revealed that its 7nm Zen 2 chips are on track, with its silicon in labs ahead of 2019 launch.
