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.

Red Hat ARM Engineer Drops ARM64 Desktop, Reverts to Ryzen

A Red Hat ARM engineer used an Ampere Altra AArch64 Linux desktop as his daily driver for about a year but abandoned the setup due to single-thread performance and ongoing kernel/driver issues (PCIe, AMDGPU) on ARM64. He switched back to his AMD Ryzen x86-64 system, repurposed the Altra box for RISC-V cross-compilation, and concluded he has no plans for another AArch64 desktop experiment given the hardware and software limitations.

AMD removes memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs, sparking user backlash

Ars Technica reports that AMD has removed Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME) from consumer Ryzen CPUs via AGESA firmware changes, a move not publicly announced. Tests showed TSME was enabled on older firmware but not on newer AGESA 1.2.7.0 on consumer boards, while PRO/enterprise CPUs retain the feature. The change prompts questions whether it was a deliberate policy restriction or an unintentional regression, with AMD not providing a clear explanation. Security experts say there should be an official rationale behind withdrawing a longstanding memory-protection feature.

AMD: Ryzen Laptops Deliver Full Game Library Reach vs. MacBook Neo’s Limitations

AMD released marketing that pits Ryzen-based laptops against Apple's MacBook Neo, claiming Ryzen systems can run all 20 top games via Windows stores (Steam, Epic Games Store, PC Game Pass) while MacBook Neo can’t natively run 15 of them. The compare-and-contrast emphasizes Windows gaming ecosystems and Ryzen performance for multitasking and content creation, while acknowledging the Radeon 740M iGPU isn’t suited for AAA titles; AMD suggests Ryzen is the better gaming platform, though the OS gap is a fundamental difference.

AMD extends AM5 compatibility to 2029 as AM4 endures

AMD announced at Computex that Socket AM5 will be supported through at least 2029, allowing future Ryzen CPUs (including Zen 6) and up to 24 cores on AM5 boards. Meanwhile AM4 remains active with the re-release of the Ryzen 5800X3D at $349 and the new Ryzen 7 7700X3D launching at $329, signaling a longer upgrade cycle and fewer complete system replacements for PC builders.

AMD Revives 5800X3D for AM4 and Unveils 7700X3D with 3D V-Cache

AMD today revived the Ryzen 7 5800X3D as a “10th Anniversary Edition” for AM4, a Zen 3 8-core/16-thread CPU with 96 MB of L3 cache, up to 4.5 GHz, no in-box cooler, and a $350 price with shipping starting June 25; it also launched the Ryzen 7 7700X3D for AM5, a Zen 4 8-core/16-thread CPU with the same 96 MB L3 and 3D V-Cache, priced at $330 and due July 16, with AMD not issuing initial gaming claims for this model. The pair highlights AMD’s strategy to offer high-cache options on both AM4 and AM5, targeting existing AM4 users and newer platform buyers alike.

HP unveils global 14-inch ZBook 8 G2a with 120Hz VRR and 64GB RAM

HP is rolling out the ZBook 8 G2a 14-inch mobile workstation globally, offering AMD Ryzen options, up to 64 GB RAM, PCIe 5.0 storage, and display choices including a 120 Hz VRR panel. US configurations start at $2,796 with various Ryzen Pro CPUs up to 64 GB RAM and 2 TB storage; optional high-refresh and brightness upgrades push prices higher (e.g., up to $7,800, and add-ons like a 1600p 120 Hz VRR panel for ~$233). UK and German SKUs are priced higher (£2,342.40; €2,847 and €4,077) and are out of stock at publication. Shipping is expected to begin in June, with brightness up to 800 nits available at a premium.

AMD Stock Rises on Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition Debut

AMD Stock Rises on Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition Debut

AMD stock rose about 3.5% after the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition launch, the most expensive Ryzen CPU yet at an $899 MSRP. The chip features 16 Zen 5 cores, 32 threads, 4.3 GHz base and 5.6 GHz boost, 192 MB L3 cache, 16 MB L2 cache, and 200W TDP, but reviewers say it’s niche and may not broaden appeals beyond specific use cases. Trading volume was around 14.8 million shares versus a 3-month average of ~32.5 million, and the stock sported a strong year-to-date rally. Analysts remain moderately bullish with a consensus of Moderate Buy and a price target around $287.33, implying modest upside as AMD continues to emphasize AI initiatives alongside its consumer CPUs.

Ryzen X3D Face-Off: Nine AMD CPUs Benchmarked Across 14 Games

TechSpot benchmarks nine Ryzen 5/7 X3D CPUs (5800X3D through 9800X3D) across 14 games at 1080p to compare Zen 3 and Zen 4 X3D variants on AM4/AM5. Results show large, game‑dependent gaps driven by IPC, clock speed, and memory bandwidth, with DDR5 offering limited gains for cache-heavy X3D parts. On average the 7500X3D is about 8–9% faster than the 5800X3D, the 7800X3D about 20–24% faster, and the 9800X3D roughly 30–37% faster than the 5800X3D, while the 7600X3D is now discontinued. The study highlights that the 7800X3D is the most significant gaming upgrade since the 5800X3D, and not all X3D upgrades are created equal.

AMD Stock Rises as Ryzen 9950X3D2 Carries a Record-High MSRP

AMD shares climbed about 1.7% after the company announced an $899 MSRP for the Ryzen 9950X3D2 Dual Edition, the highest Ryzen price to date. The flagship CPU launches April 22, 2026, but tight supply could push demand above MSRP. AMD has logged a roughly 9.97% year-to-date rally and about 161% over the last 12 months, aided by AI-focused growth; analysts still rate the stock as a Moderate Buy with a mean target of around $284.68, implying roughly 20% upside.
