News / Re: AMD RDNA 5 GPUs reportedly...

Last post by AMD, HDMI 2.1 on Linux? - Yesterday at 10:36:41

QuoteHDMI 2.2 support is another recurring rumor, but so far there is no official specification to confirm it.

Would be surprised if HDMI 2.2 wasn't supported by next gen in ~mid 2027.
But how about AMD first fixes HDMI 2.1 support in Linux (using binary blobs, if necessary): gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1417 is open since Dec 28, 2020. Crazy. Needless to say that I switched to NVIDIA, at least things work.
ML-FP8-based hardware accelerated upscaling works since RDNA4, but when transformer based upscaling, AMD? And what is with this?: youtube.com/watch?v=LpAZF_-qsI8 "AMD FSR Redstone Tested - There's Disappointing Issues" --Hardware Unboxed

QuoteThere are also practical considerations, as memory shortages and rising costs could make a 2026 desktop GPU launch difficult to price and position competitively.

True, more money in the server market.

The EliteBook 6 G1q brings Qualcomm Snapdragon and Windows ARM to mainstream businesses. It's ideal if extended runtimes and basic office tasks take priority, but app compatibility and display options remain inconsistent.

Last post by Redaktion - Yesterday at 05:27:27

Digital Foundry's testing shows the GPD Win 5's Strix Halo APU pushing the handheld to 93.5% of PS5 performance in Alan Wake 2 at 1440p, delivering around 52fps versus the console's 55fps in a demanding stress test. Despite its high price and power draw, the device demonstrates how close high-end handheld PCs are coming to living-room console performance, even at reduced wattages and resolutions.

Last post by Redaktion - Yesterday at 04:45:58

A leaked set of PlayStation 5 BootROM keys, published online at the end of 2025, has exposed core hardware-level security secrets that researchers say Sony cannot simply patch on existing consoles. While the breach does not enable an immediate jailbreak, experts warn it significantly lowers the bar for future exploits, potentially paving the way for permanent hacks, homebrew software, and widespread piracy risks.
