This is the best summary I could come up with:


Scott Herkelman, AMD’s senior vice president, says in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that the Radeon team will make some “major product announcements” at Gamescom (via VideoCardz).

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.

We may have already gotten an early glimpse at one of AMD’s upcoming graphics cards, as a now-removed product listing on PowerColor briefly showed the images and specs belonging to an RX 7800 XT Red Devil chip.

Aside from the launch of new GPUs, AMD is also expected to release FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3), the latest iteration of the company’s upscaling technology.

Rumors suggest that the launch of FSR 3 will take place around the same time as the release of Starfield, which comes out on PC and Xbox on September 6th.

Maybe they should hurry up and fix Zenbleed first.

You're aware the team working on that are almost certainly not the same team working on this, correct?

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup, just having a moan, and also bringing it up because it feels like it should be more widely known about (along with Intel's similar issue).

it's already fixed, and merged in the linux kernel, they can't do more than that

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fixes have been added at a kernel level for many OS's, but microcode is still forthcoming for many models. It sounds like they've got it out for the EPYC 7002 (server) chips first - which makes sense as they're likely running VMs which may be internet exposed - and most of the rest are expected between Oct - Dec

Yeah, I'm aware of their roadmap. Most desktop CPUs are targeted for December 2023. However then it's up to motherboard manufacturers to incoporate and issue a BIOS update.
