Summary: This was on Linux using kernel mitigations. The performance impact can be very significant to some workloads, like databases and compression, but most users likely will not notice any impacts.

While Herkelman didn’t specify what those “major” announcements could be, AMD is due to launch new Radeon RX 7000-series graphics cards sometime this year. During an earnings call earlier this month, AMD CEO Lisa Su said the company will reveal “enthusiast-class Radeon 7000 series cards in the third quarter” of 2023.

Ever since I got my RX 6800 XT I have noticed that when I tab out of a game or try taking a screenshot with the Snipping tool, my cursor would turn into a horizontal line. It would fix itself if I move it around a bit, but I have never had this issue before. I have the latest drivers installed. This is happening on Windows 10.

Previously I had a GTX 960, but I uninstalled all Nvidia drivers before installing the AMD ones.

Does anyone else have this issue and how did you fix it?

Im finally moving to AMD gpu. I have decided on RX 7900 XT and i need your help to choose which brand. Im debating between Asus Tuf and Sapphire Pulse. They are priced the same (8€ difference) but Asus is coming with 2y warranty while Sapphire with 3y. So far I only had experiences with Asus and I didnt have problems with their gpus, i had some minor problem with mbo (5+y ago) What are your experiences with Sapphire and which gpu would you recommend?

Thanks!

AMD has disclosed INCEPTION, a new speculative side channel attack affecting Zen 3 and Zen 4 processors. It requires new microcode. Zen 1 and 2 CPUs require a kernel-based solution. New firmwares will be incoming soon. Check your vendor pages.

Hoping that this will make its way into a RX 7500 too for regular consumers as a LP single-slot GPU. Would be quite the upgrade over the RX 6400.

The high idle power bug with the chiplet RDNA3 GPU's has been plaguing AMD since the damn things were released. I, too, ended up experiencing desktop idle TBP's of 100W or more, which is absolutely ridiculous.

I discovered that in my system, it occurs in this configuration:

• Two monitors connected- one via DP, one via HDMI.
• The HDMI monitor is set to HDR mode in Window Display settings.

Disabling HDR, or disconnecting the second monitor, both fix the bug. Disabling HDR sucks if you have a monitor that supports it, but yknow... saving 80W when watching youtube or writing a document? Worth it.

This part is interesting:

For the iGPU side, the AMD Ryzen 8000 "Strix Point" APUs will be configured with the AMD RDNA 3.5 GPU cores with 8 WGP's (Work Group Processors) and a total of 16 Compute Units for up to 1024 stream processors. That's a 33% increase in the number of stream processors and if clock speeds will remain the same at around 2.8-3.0 GHz range, we can expect up to 12 TFLOPs FP32 compute horsepower which will mark a 42% increase over the current fastest RDNA 3 iGPU, the Radeon 780M.

It seems AMD might be shifting its focus towards the mid-range segment (once gain), with the introduction of a new successor to the RDNA3 architecture. This move would bring AMD back to its roots when the company prioritized the mid-range segment with RDNA1/Polaris.
