AMD recently released a fresh financial report and while they have strong growth year-over-year, things are looking a bit more tough overall.

On a budget? Good news for you, as AMD are expanding their third-gen Ryzen processor list with the Ryzen 3 3100 and Ryzen 3 3300X.

The Khronos Group has today announced that the cross-platform Vulkan graphics API now has official Ray Tracing support with their new provisional extensions.

From now until the end of March, AMD have cut the price of some popular 3rd Gen Ryzen desktop processors across multiple stores with discounts in many countries.

Thought Intel was the only one? Well you would be living under a rock with all the past issues but Intel seemed to be constantly hit harder, and they had another recently. This time, it's AMD's turn in the security spotlight.

The last few years have shown what competition can really do. AMD went from being constantly bottom, to truly kicking some ass with the Zen processor design and they have more to come.

Two bits of Linux driver news to share today, one quite big for AMD/Intel and the other on the smaller side for NVIDIA.

Today, AMD officially made the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X available as a seriously high-end desktop processor. Along with that, System76 jumped in right away to give it as an option on their powerful Thelio Major.

Community support for Unreal Tournament was able to breath some new life into the game, even with the limitations of the closed binary. By 2018 however the game was no longer launching for Mesa users. For an engine with such a pedigree on Linux this outcome is still disappointing.

Powered by AMD's newer 7nm RDNA architecture, the Radeon RX 5500 XT originally announced in October is now available aimed at the 1080p PC gaming market.

Lacklustre Linux sales and internal restructuring appear to have taken Frozenbyte out of the Linux market for good, and with even their old games struggling to run well on the Mesa graphics stack, it marks a sad end to a series that once provided so much colour to our platform.

Today, AMD announced when you will be able to get your hands on their third-generation Threadripper processors if you're after a crazy amount of cores. On top of a new 16 core flagship Ryzen 9.

Things seem to be going quite well for AMD lately, as they just posted up their financial results for Q3 and thanks to 7nm Ryzen, Radeon and EPYC processor sales they're looking good.

AMD have now formally lifted the lid on their next GPU with the announcement of the Radeon RX 5500 coming later this year.

Today, AMD sent out a brief statement about a delay in their 16 core Ryzen 9 3950X and the 3rd generation Threadripper.
