Realme has showcased its latest smartphone, the Realme GT Flash. For now, the phone looks to be a concept for showing off Realme's new MagDart charger, but could launch in the future. If it does, Realme fans have something interesting to look forward to, thanks to a Snapdragon 888+, an impressive display, and solid cameras.

The T.Book MN45 combines an AMD Ryzen 5 4500U APU with DDR4 RAM and M.2 2280 NVMe SSD. The mini-PC may fit in your hand, but it has upgradable RAM, storage and plenty of ports.

The high-end nature of the new Minisforum EliteMini HX90 mini PC is reflected not only by the inclusion of the Ryzen 9 5900HX APU, but also by the carbon fiber chassis and the premium liquid metal cooling system. Minisforum is offering an early bird $100 discount on all variants.

Apple and AMD have announced new Radeon PRO graphics cards for the Mac Pro. Only the Radeon Pro W6800X and Radeon PRO W6900X are available, but the Mac Pro can now be configured with up to four GPUs for a total of 128 GB of GDDR6 VRAM and 120 Compute Units per graphics card.

Retailers have shared details for a new ASUS ProArt StudioBook with a 16-inch display. ASUS has paired the 16:10 OLED panel with an AMD Ryzen 9 APU, a 90 Wh battery and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU. The 16-inch device will support upgradable RAM, too.

The Pavilion Aero 13 is a full-fledged redesign of the series that elevates it closer to what the Envy or Spectre series has to offer. A fully loaded AMD configuration comes in at under $1000 USD but with faster multi-thread performance than most Core i7 models.

We were expecting to see RDNA iGPUs added to the Ryzen 5000 APUs, but AMD was not able to sync the production schedule for that to happen. Then we saw the leaked future gens with RDNA2 iGPUs, and we thought AMD is probably ditching the RDNA iGPUs altogether, but some recent Linux code uncovered by Phoronix seems to be proving us wrong.

While other manufacturers charge over 3,000 (~$3,561) or even around 4,000 Euros (~$4,748) for an RTX 3080 laptop, the Medion Erazer Beast X25 costs "only" 2,699 Euros (~$3,204) despite its very generous configuration.

AMD has now officially introduced the RX 6600 XT. The new RDNA 2-based card has 8GB of GDDR6 128-bit memory, has 32 compute units (CUs) and a clock-speed that can go up to 2.6GHz as standard. Therefore, the OEM aims it squarely at 1080p performance - not to mention potentially reasonable estimated starting prices once it emerges via partners on August 11, 2021.

The 2nd generation of the ThinkPad L15 is offered by Lenovo with processors from Intel and AMD. There are almost no differences in design and price, which is why it's worth taking a look at the details.

Initially supposed to launch with i7-1165G7 and i7-1185G7 processor options, the GPD Win Max 2021 handheld gaming laptop is now up for pre-order only with a surprising i7-1195G7 upgrade that is offered for the same price as the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U variant. Preordering now can further lower the price to only $999.

Tipster @Olrak29_ shared consolidated specs for what appears to be AMD’s successor to the RDNA2-based RX 6900 XT. The purported RX 7900 XT is set to feature dual GPU dies connected by Infinity Fabric, for a total of 15360 shader cores.

The 15.6-inch budget gaming laptop doesn't have the greatest specs or hardware, but it's good enough for users satisfied with 1080p gaming at 30 to 60 FPS. We recommend upgrading the 8 GB of RAM as soon as possible.

Lenovo debuted world-first 16-inch WQXGA (or QHD) laptop displays in its latest Legion 7 gaming machine. Its Ryzen 7 5800H-equipped SKUs are now available on the US market, starting at US$1,800. Its Intel counterpart (the Legion 7i Gen 6) has also now been released to the same OEM website.

René Rebe managed to patch the Linux kernel to support the RISC-V processor along with the AMD RX 6700 XT card in around 10 hours. The GPU is not exactly fully functional, as it cannot yet run games, but it can render the GUI, 3D elements and also decode hi-res videos.

The MateStation S is the first desktop PC that Huawei has brought to Europe, having already released other models in China. The MateStation S features a Zen 2 CPU, comes with a 23.8-inch display and retails for €599. The MateStation S is relatively compact, too.

According to reports, AMD plans to launch at least one Radeon RX 6600 series card in three weeks. Rumour has it that the company will unveil two cards, both based on its new Navi 23 GPU. The Radeon RX 6600 may arrive a few months later than the RX 6600 XT, though.

Supposedly, AMD plans to launch the Radeon RX 6600 XT in a few weeks, with the card serving as a debut for the company's Navi 23 GPU. Now, the first benchmark results and photos of a Radeon RX 6600 XT have leaked, which give a positive impression of the upcoming Navi 23-based card.

Minisforum and Morfine are preparing crowdfunding campaigns for the first mini PC "workstations" powered by AMD's top-of-the-line Ryzen 9 5900HX laptop APU. These will not offer enough room for a dGPU, but the integrated Vega 8 GPU is still a decent solution. The Indiegogo campaigns are expected to start in a few weeks.

GPD will begin accepting pre-orders for the Win Max 2021 from later this month. The revised handheld system will offer up to an AMD Ryzen 7 4800U or an Intel Core i7-1185G7, which both pack powerful integrated GPUs. GPD has provided some expected framerate differences in triple-A games between the two CPUs, too.

Valve’s Steam Deck has been revealed and unsurprisingly the ultra-portable gaming PC and console hybrid has already been frequently compared with the Nintendo Switch (OLED model). However, while the Steam Deck is preposterously more powerful than the new Switch, it won’t stop Nintendo having a huge hit on its hands when the Switch Pro/Switch 2 finally emerges.

Tipster @UniverseIce recently claimed on Weibo that Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 2200 SoC would feature a six-core RDNA2 implementation. To put this into perspective, the upcoming Steam Deck, capable of playing AAA PC games, features 8-core RDNA2 graphics. This means that Exynos 2200 powered devices could potentially deliver experiences on par with current-gen consoles.

Valve has launched the Steam Deck, a fully-fledged handheld gaming PC. The device features an AMD Zen 2 and RDNA 2-based APU that delivers 1.6 teraflops of graphics processing power.

Multiple sources have confirmed that AMD's next-generation Zen 4 processors will limit the core count to 16 on the top model (Ryzen 9 6950X), which has a maximum TDP of 170W. The remaining SKUs are said to be rated at 120W, 105W, 95W and 65W.

According to rumours, AMD plans to refresh its Threadripper series next month, thereby replacing current Threadripper 3000 SKUs. Threadripper 5000 processors will take their place, with up to 64 cores based on AMD's Zen 3 architecture. The workstation processors will support quad-channel RAM and a TDP of up to 280 W.

Tipster @KOMACHI_ENSAKA spotted an Intel filing on the SATA-IO website highlighting PCH compliance for both Alder Lake and 13th-gen Raptor Lake parts. This is one of the earliest appearances of Intel’s post-Alder Lake platform, and likely the first alongside Alder Lake.

AMD has now confirmed that the 4700S Desktop Kit will be coming to 80+ designs in the coming days. The AMD 4700S is an SoC that is pretty much similar to the one found in the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S but comes with the RDNA 2 iGPU disabled. AMD is pitched the 4700S Desktop Kit primarily for productivity and light 3D workflows.

Everyone saw the GPU dump coming, as the Ethereum Proof of Stake plan was set into motion two years ago, but Chinese cryptominers are forced to dump their GPUs earlier, since the local government is cracking down hard on any cryptomining activities. The RTX 3060 cards make for a particularly good deal now at around $270, but anyone interested in bulk deals for all Nvidia as well as AMD GPU models can easily find bargains on sites like Taobao, Bangood, Alibaba or AliExpress.

According to multiple reports, AMD plans to release the RX 6600 XT for US$399, putting the Navi 23 card in the firing line of NVIDIA and the RTX 3060 Ti. A possible launch date for the RX 6600 XT has been mooted, too.

Units of the Lenovo Legion 5 gaming laptop with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor are out there already. They tend to have RTX 3000-series graphics; however, a reliable leaker has turned up a variant with the Radeon RX 6600M card instead. Therefore, these options might turn up on the market soon.

AMD has punished Intel in the latest set of Mindfactory sales data, with Vermeer Ryzen 5000 chips like the Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 5 5600X helping make Rocket Lake look like a paper launch. However, overall CPU sales figures for Team Red have plummeted since the Zen 3 desktop chips were released.

ASUS is planning to release a new ZenBook Pro 15 with an OLED display. The ZenBook Pro 15 will also feature AMD Ryzen 5000H series processors and a current NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series GPU. The machine, which has been spotted in China, Germany and Sweden, should start shipping in August or September.

MSI has upgraded the Bravo 15, a popular 15-inch gaming laptop that it released last year. The new Bravo 15 features Ryzen 5000H processors and is bulkier, thanks to a refined cooling solution. Unfortunately, MSI has stuck with last-generation Radeon RX GPUs.

PowerColor has done AMD's work for it. While AMD is yet to reveal the Radeon RX 6600 series, PowerColor's website reflects that both the RX 6600 and RX 6600 XT are on the horizon. AMD teased that it would announce the RX 6600 series by June 2021 at the latest.

In a conversation with WCCFTech, Midgar Studio’s Jeremy Zeler-Maury discussed the differences between FSR and DLSS in Edge of Eternity, one of only two games that currently implements both upscaling techniques.

Intel has finally managed to reverse the trend in regard to Steam’s monthly report on processor usage. AMD has taken lumps out of Team Blue’s share for month after month, but the latest hardware survey from the gaming platform indicates that it’s Team Red’s turn to suffer from a slump. Price cuts on Comet Lake processors are likely to have helped turn the tide.

The deal will go live on July 2 at 11 AM EST. Users may want to expand the limited 256 GB drive with an internal or external solution for storing more games.

AMD claimed that it would announce the Radeon RX 6600 XT in the first half of 2021. While the card remains unreleased, a render of it has leaked, matching a slide that AMD showcased earlier this year.

AMD has introduced a new desktop kit based on its Zen 2 architecture. The kit is particularly exciting because of its AMD 4700S, a processor from the Sony PlayStation 5.
