09:56PM EDT – AMD currently switching to their mobile portolio. ALso introducing the 3rd Gen Ryzen AI NPU, developed with Xilinx
09:56PM EDT – The Ryzen 9 9950X (16C/32T), Ryzen 9 9900X (12C/24T), Ryzen 7 9800X (8C/16T) and Ryzen 5 9600X (6C/12T), coming in July
09:55PM EDT – Dr. Lisa Su is quicky recapping the AM4 platform, and boosting support for AM5 into 2027, instead of the previous 2025 timeline
09:54PM EDT – Some basic performance figures from AMD, but no actual data to go with it
09:54PM EDT – Ryzen 9 9950X has a 64 MB cache, much like Zen 4’s Ryzen 9 7950X, as well as 1 MB of L2 cache per core
09:53PM EDT – Dr. Lisa Su is claiming 16 % gains in IPC, and Lisa is showing off the Ryzen 9 9950X, 16C/32T, 5.7 GHz Boost, and at a 170 W TDP
09:53PM EDT – Also Zen 5 has a wider pipeline, although AMD hasn’t disclosed the finer details, these can be expected closer to launch
09:52PM EDT – AMD Zen 5 has a few updates over Zen 4, including a dual pipeline front end, improving branch prediction accuracy
09:52PM EDT – Introducting AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series for desktop. PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 inclusive
09:51PM EDT – And first up, gaming PCs. Not just desktops, but consoles and handhelds
09:51PM EDT – Introducing a number of new products, including the Zen 5 core, XDNA 3.5 for mobile
09:50PM EDT – And third, an AI ecosystem with deep co-innovation
09:50PM EDT – Open and proven soiftware capability
09:50PM EDT – AMD’s 3 priorities,broad portfolio of training and inference compute engines
09:49PM EDT – Currently recapping AMD’s varied range of solutions including computing, but their focus has quickly shifted to AI
09:49PM EDT – Dr. Lisa Su looking vibrant in her red/pink blazer, perhaps a sign of plenty of vibrant products
09:47PM EDT – And the moment we have been waiting for, Dr. Lisa Su has entered the stage to open Computex 2024
09:47PM EDT – And straight into a video highlighting AMD’s commitment to advancing AI
09:46PM EDT – And the AMD keynote is close to kicking off, just a quick introduction before Dr. Lisa Su joins the stage
09:43PM EDT – Currently watching a pre recorded video, although it is hard to tell if it is AI or actually real (a nod to generative AI)
09:42PM EDT – We’re still waiting on TAITRA’s Computex preview speech to wrap up. AMD’s live stream is also on hold until then
09:37PM EDT – Hello all, and we have a preview of what to expect to Computex prior to the opening keynote being delivered by Dr. Lisa Su
09:31PM EDT – And if you needed any guesses as to what the theme is for this keynote, AMD’s logo should tell you everything you need to know
09:30PM EDT – Our roving reporter Gavin Bonrshor is at this year’s show soaking in a wealth of information (not to mention the infamous Taipei humidity). He won’t be short of things to do over the next few days
09:29PM EDT – On the GPU/accelerator side of matters, AMD is mid-cycle (at best) with their Instinct MI300 series accelerators. With the company’s sales repeatedly beating their own expectations, AMD doesn’t seem to need much help moving this premium silicon right now. But with AI being the operative buzzword of this year’s Computex (and indeed, the computing industry as a whole), it would be weird for AMD to not have something to say about their rapidly growing AI accelerator product line
09:28PM EDT – Along with client chips, AMD has been pushing their server CPUs hard, and they’ve previously told investors that the next-gen EPYC Turin CPU is “looking great”. So we’ll likely hear about both client and server Zen 5 product plans during this keynote
09:28PM EDT – The big expectation here is fresh news around AMD’s Zen 5 CPU core architecture, and the chips built around it. AMD’s most recent Zen 5 roadmap has it slated to deliver all three flavors of Zen 5 by the end of this year, and we’re coming up on the two-year anniversary of the Zen 4 architecture launch
09:28PM EDT – Computex keynote season is kicking into high gear this morning with the show’s leading keynote, which is being delivered by AMD. Company CEO Dr. Lisa Su will be presenting a keynote entitled “The future of high-performance computing in the AI era,” and with a run time of 90 minutes, we’re expecting AMD to have a whole host of product announcements covering their full spectrum of product categories
