AMD reveals RDNA4 architecture, Radeon RX 9070 GPUs, and Ryzen 9000 X3D CPUs

FSR 4 upgrades, AI accelerators, and RDNA4 ray tracing improvements soft-launched for now
What just happened? The big surprise out of CES 2025 is that AMD hasn't fully launched new RDNA4 GPUs at the show, instead deciding to merely "preview" the new architecture and a couple of graphics card models. As of writing, AMD has officially announced the RDNA4 graphics architecture, Radeon RX 9070 series of GPUs, ML-powered FSR 4 upscaling, and new Ryzen 9000 X3D desktop CPUs. We've got all the information for you here, plus a few thoughts on what AMD has shown off so far.

UserBenchmark faces backlash over Ryzen 7 9800X3D review, suggests 13600K and 14600K instead

"Spending more on a gaming CPU is often pointless"
Facepalm: It's fair to say that the UserBenchmark website does not have the best reputation among PC hardware fans. It seems to have a particular dislike of AMD, as illustrated by the recent review of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. The CPU has been so successful that it's sold out in most places, but UserBenchmark claims this is merely the result of AMD's aggressive marketing rather than real-world performance, and suggests that you buy an Intel i5-13600K instead.
