AMD Expands Hawk Point With 11 New Ryzen 200/100 SKUs Fueled by Zen 4 and RDNA 3

AMD quietly expands its Hawk Point family with 11 new CPUs across the Ryzen 200 and 100 series: seven Zen 4-based chips in the Ryzen 200 lineup (up to 8 cores/16 threads with Radeon 700M iGPUs) and four Ryzen 100-series SKUs built on a 4nm process with RDNA 3 integrated graphics, clarifying these are not Zen 3+ as some had suggested. The new chips target laptops and mini PCs, with Radeon 740M/760M/780M iGPUs appearing across the lineup.

AMD Strix Halo Brings 120B-Parameter AI to a $1,500 PC

AMD Strix Halo Brings 120B-Parameter AI to a $1,500 PC

AMD's Strix Halo Ryzen AI Max Plus enables on-device inference for models up to 120B parameters using up to 128 GB of unified memory in a $1,499 mini PC, offering strong cost efficiency and data control but with real-world memory bandwidth around 122 GB/s and a still-maturing ROCm/Windows ecosystem. It trails NVIDIA in prefill speed and lacks CUDA-level software maturity, though its cost per GB memory (~$25.77) is far cheaper than Apple M3 Ultra’s. A future Gorgon Halo with 192 GB and up to 300B parameters is planned for 2026, signaling AMD's ongoing AI hardware push. For workloads prioritizing local processing and agent workflows, Strix Halo is compelling; for CUDA-heavy or bandwidth-intensive tasks, NVIDIA or Apple may be preferable.

AMD's Debian-Powered Ryzen AI Developer Platform Targets Linux AI Development

AMD's Ryzen AI Halo developer PC ships with a Debian-based OS named the Ryzen AI Developer Platform 1 "Rex", featuring a GNOME desktop and a GUI "Ryzen AI Developer Center" to manage ROCm, Llama.cpp, vLLM, PyTorch and other AI tools, plus telemetry controls and remote SSH; it includes ROCm 7.13 preview and AMD apps, delivering a polished Linux AI development environment atop Debian rather than Ubuntu.

AMD Ryzen AI Halo: A Tiny, Open-Source AI Powerhouse for Local Workloads

Phoronix reviews the AMD Ryzen AI Halo, a compact mini PC built around the Ryzen AI Max+ Strix Halo platform, with 128GB unified memory and support for up to 200B-parameter LLMs. It runs Windows 11 or a Debian-based Ryzen AI Developer Platform Linux stack, ships with 2TB Gen5 NVMe, HDMI 2.1b, 10Gb Ethernet, WiFi 7, and a Radeon 8060S GPU in a 150×150×45 mm, ~1.2 kg chassis at 120W, and emphasizes fully open-source software with strong Linux support; a Gorgon Halo variant is planned for the future.

Meta's AI Cloud Push Triggers Broad Selloff in AI Stocks

Meta Platforms reportedly is exploring an external AI cloud infrastructure business to provide computing power and models to external customers, a move that triggered a broad selloff in AI stocks. Major chip names like NVIDIA (-2%), AMD (-3%), and Intel (-4%) fell, while AI‑infrastructure players Nebius NBIS and CoreWeave CRWV slumped around 12% and 10%. Storage and memory names such as Micron MU (-~7%), SanDisk, Seagate and Western Digital also declined, with chip‑equipment makers like KLAC, LRCX, AMAT and ASML posting losses as investors weighed Meta's cloud ambitions against the AI hardware rally.

AMD Driver Bug Silences Smart Access Memory, Crippling Windows 10 Gaming

AMD Driver Bug Silences Smart Access Memory, Crippling Windows 10 Gaming

A driver bug is silently disabling Smart Access Memory (SAM) on Windows 10, leading to lower gaming performance, crashes, and inconsistent behavior. Users report SAM/Resizable Bar being turned off in Adrenalin despite BIOS settings, and Windows sometimes not detecting Radeon GPUs after updates. Workarounds include a clean DDU-based reinstall in safe mode, offline driver installation, and re-enabling VRR, though results vary. AMD is investigating and has previously pushed a preview driver to improve Windows 10 compatibility while a fix is developed.

SteamOS 3.8 Lets Any PC Become a Steam Machine, with AMD in Beta

Valve released SteamOS 3.8, the first version to run on all hardware configurations, letting you convert a PC into a Steam Machine. AMD GPU support is in beta, with Nvidia support planned for 2027. To install, download the SteamOS image, create a bootable USB (Rufus on Windows; Balena Etcher on macOS/Linux), disable Secure Boot in BIOS, and use the Re-image Device option. The Steam Machine goes on sale June 30 exclusively through Steam, with a new ordering method to avoid past launch issues.

AI hype cools as Nvidia, Micron and AMD lead tech stock slide

Nvidia, Micron, and AMD led a tech-sector sell-off as investors shifted to risk-off after hawkish signals from the Fed, with the XLK down about 2% and Nvidia off more than 4% while Micron tumbled about 13% ahead of its earnings; Alphabet also fell closer to 1%, and other AI-related names joined the retreat as the AI trade cools and tech leadership faces renewed selling pressure.

FSR 4.1 Boosts Older GPUs, Expands RDNA 3 Reach

AMD launches FSR 4.1 for Radeon RX 7000-series GPUs, promising better image quality and smoother gameplay. It’s developing lightweight ML models to bring FSR 4.1 to RDNA 3 APUs and plans RDNA 2 support in early 2027. FSR 4.1 is already in 300+ games, with Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations and Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced due in July.

Valve confirms FSR 4 on Steam Machine, but not at launch

Valve says AMD's FSR 4 upscaler is coming to Steam Machine but won’t be ready at launch; FSR 4 should deliver notably better image quality and allow lower internal render resolutions, easing CPU bottlenecks on SteamOS. The exact release window isn’t fixed, but it’s expected to roll out with Proton updates and automatic upgrades via the AMD software, similar to Windows; on Linux, enabling FSR 4 currently requires manual steps.

FSR 4.1 Arrives for RDNA 3, Boosting RX 7000 Gaming

AMD has released FSR Upscaling 4.1 for RDNA 3 GPUs, starting with the Radeon RX 7000 series alongside the Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, claiming support for over 300 games and visual parity with RDNA 4’s FSR 4.1. Because RDNA 3 uses INT8 instead of FP8, AMD had to rewrite the 4.1 model for this generation, with ongoing work to optimize RDNA 3 APUs and potential RDNA 3.5 support; this marks a first step toward bringing FSR 4 across RDNA generations and suggesting future updates.

FSR 4.1.1 INT8 Emerges for RDNA 3.5 via Valve Leak

Valve’s Proton Experimental leak hints that FSR 4.1.1 INT8 can run on RDNA 3.5 GPUs (including RX 7800 XT) and even RDNA 2 cards, using a workaround with a signed amdxcffx64.dll and OptiScaler to enable FSR4Update in OptiScaler.ini. The Radeon 890M iGPU reportedly works too, but AMD has not officially confirmed RDNA 3.5 support for FSR 4.1, and artifacts or instability may occur on some GPUs. This is a leak, not official release.
