News & Reviews:   AMD GPU

After several users reported online recently about their Ryzen CPUs being mysteriously overclocked without their consent, the culprit has finally been found. Get this, it seems that the problem lies with a bug in AMD’s GPU driver which changed users' CPU settings in BIOS without permission.

Previously, AMD added support for automatic CPU overclocking through one of its GPU drivers last year. This feature was meant to simplify the overclocking experience by adding in a Ryzen Master module into the Radeon Adrenaline GPU drivers.

Over the last few months, there have been a few rumours about a new chipset from Samsung with AMD's GPU. This chipset was expected to be equipped on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and unveiled this month. However, that might no longer be the case.

More people are gaming every year, but not everyone can afford high-end GPUs. That's especially true in a year where GPU shortages are causing prices to spike up. As such, it's not surprising to see AMD come up with new RDNA 2 GPUs for more mainstream gamers.

Remember the piece of Exynos news from yesterday? It's said that Samsung is working on a new Exynos chipset with AMD GPU that will be used in laptops. A reliable source has said that this is the Exynos 2200 chipset, which will also be used in other devices.

Rumours about a Samsung Exynos chipset with AMD GPU have been around since January. Some sources claim that it would be used for mobile devices, but most believe it'll be for a laptop. More importantly, it seems there's now an estimated release window for it.

When the Exynos 2100 chipset was announced, many were sceptical about its performance. But recent reports prove that the chipset has been a pleasant surprise so far. Now, sources claim that Samsung wants to take a step further on the GPU side with a partnership with AMD.

Last week, AMD finally confirmed the launched dates for its next-gen Radeon graphics cards. The RX 6000 series GPUs won't be unveiled until 28 October 2020, but that doesn't mean that the leaks haven't been coming our way. In fact, AMD was kind enough to show us how the new GPUs could look like.

After more or less dominating the desktop CPU market in 2019, AMD could well be putting a lot of its focus in doing the same for the graphics card space this year. This speculation was fueled by Mithun Chandrasekhar, AMD's Radeon Product Management Lead, who claimed that Big Navi could be the game-changer in 4K PC gaming.

A new rumour has surfaced in the PC graphics card space, claiming the existence of a new GPU that beats Nvidia's current top GPU. Specifically, it indicates that the unknown part could be an AMD GPU that can outperform the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti in the OpenVR GPU Benchmark.
