AMD has added support for its upcoming processors based on the next-generation Zen 5 microarchitecture into the GCC compiler. The ‘znver5’ is now a target in the GCC Git repository in time for the GCC 14.1 stable release, reportsPhoronix. This move ensures that developers will have the necessary compiler support for Zen 5-based Ryzen and EPYC CPUs ahead of their launch later this year. In February, AMD announced the addition of the Zen 5 target to the GCC compiler, introducing new instructions such as AVXVNNI, MOVDIRI, MOVDIR64B, AVX512VP2INTERSECT, and PREFETCHI....

Earlier this year, AMD quietly stopped funding ZLUDA, an open-source CUDA translation layer project that allowed to execute programs originally compiled for Nvidia CUDA GPUs on AMDRadeonprocessors supported by the the ROCm software stack. But recently Nvidiabanned usage of translation layers with CUDA-based software, which could potentially cause legal troubles for AMD, so the company now asked Andrzej Janik, the developer behind ZLUDA to take the code down, reportsPhoronix. “The code that was previously here has been taken down at AMD’s request,” the developer wrote at the project’s GitHub page....

AMD launched its fifth-gen EPYC ‘Turin’ processors here in San Francisco at its Advancing AI 2024 event, whipping the covers off the deep-dive details of its new Zen 5-powered server CPU family forenterprise, AI, and cloud use cases. We also ran some of our ownbenchmarksin preparation for our review but decided to share a preview of the impressive results below.AMD has unified its standard scale-up optimized models with full-fat Zen 5 cores and its scale-out optimized models with dense Zen 5c cores into one stack that flies under the EPYC 9005 Turin banner, making several impressive performance claims against Intel’s competing Xeon processors....

Shipments of standalone GPUs for desktop PCs increased slightly in the final quarter of 2024 compared to the previous quarter but declined by over a million units compared to the same quarter in 2023, according toJon Peddie Research. However, the market for graphics add-in boards (AIBs) for desktops rebounded quite significantly in 2024 compared to the previous year. While AMD managed to grab a chunk of Nvidia’s market share in Q4 2024, sales of its standalone GPUs for desktops dropped to a historic low for the whole year....

AMD will be utilizing “slow” 18Gbps GDDR6 memory modules with its next generation “RX 8000-series"RDNA 4GPU lineup, according to a post from prolific leakerKepler on X (Twitter). If true, this will be the fourth RDNA architecture in a row to utilizeGDDR6memory.The first RDNA chips from the RX 5000-series used GDDR6 clocked at 12–14 Gbps.RDNA 2 and RX 6000-series GPUsbumped that to 14–18 Gbps (note that only theRX 6600uses 14Gbps memory, while the others are all 16–18 Gbps)....

Today, we’ll put the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D vs the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K in a heated contest to see which chip comes out on top. The best processor is not necessarily the one with the most number of cores or the highest clock speeds; rather, it is the one that fulfills your specific requirements and fits within your budget. Gamers do not necessarily require the highest-end chip to enjoy the latest AAA games, although having one wouldn’t hurt....

AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X, which will compete against thebest CPUs, might not be out just yet (arriving July 31st), but that hasn’t stopped a PC enthusiast from postingbenchmarksof the chip in prototype form. Igor_kavinski posted a gauntlet of Cinebech R23 benchmark runs featuring an engineering sample Ryzen 9 9950X on theAnandTech forums, featuring various power targets to see how efficient AMD’sZen 5desktop flagship is. Igor posted ten total benchmark runs of the ES 9950X operating at 40W, 60W, 80W, 100W, 120W, 160W, 200W, 230W, 253W and 9999W....

Intel’s upcoming entry-levelArc B570, which competes against thebest graphics cards, has been benchmarked in Geekbench’s new AI benchmark. Discovered byTomasz Gawronski on X, the B570 GPU is reportedly 10% slower than the B580 in this specific benchmark. Using the OpenVINO framework, the B570 graphics card produced a single precision result of 20,213 points, 35,819 half-precision points, and 38,717 quantized points. Gawronski shared two B580 OpenVINO results for comparison. One showed a single precision score of 22,337 points, a half-precision result of 38,752 points, and a quantized score of 42,201 points....

Arm Holdings hopes to increase its share of the global data center CPU market from 15% to 50% by the end of 2025. Mohamed Awad, senior vice president of infrastructure at Arm, made the claim in an interview withReuters. The company pins its hopes primarily on AI servers, so consider offerings like Nvidia’s GB200 and GB300 machines, custom silicon from large cloud service providers, and Ampere Computing-based systems. Most servers today run AMD’s EPYC processors or Intel’s Xeon CPUs that rely on the x86 instruction set architecture, as there is more data center-grade software for x86....
