The ONEXGPU 2 with Radeon RX 7800M graphics is an external GPU with AMD's latest discrete mobile graphics card that slots in underneath the Radeon RX 7900M. One-Netbook, a creator of mini-PCs and gaming handhelds, has posted benchmark results for the new GPU inside the ONEXGPU 2 paired with an AMD Ryzen 8840U system.

The benchmark run (shown in the video above) is the tried-and-true synthetic Time Spy test, part of the 3D Mark suite. The Radeon RX 7800M's result is an impressive score of 15,806, which is only 1,200 points lower than the Radeon RX 7900M. This makes it slightly faster or on par with the desktop Radeon RX 7700 XT, a GPU comparable to what's inside the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro.

According to Tom's Hardware, this score is notably higher than what is achievable with the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, sitting between that and the higher-end GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU. However, there is one caveat.

NVIDIA's next-generation GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 graphics cards continue to get closer and closer, but designs of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 expected to be finalized this month.

In a new report, Benchlife chimes in on what is going on with NVIDIA's new Blackwell-based GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards, with the RTX 5090 pegged at 550W power and the RTX 5080 at 350W power according to Benchlife, compared to the 600W and 400W power numbers from leaker kopite7kimi.

Benchlife reports: "This news is indeed a bit confusing. According to information from the module manufacturer, there was indeed a 400W NVIDIA cooling module case earlier, but it is currently in the cancellation or suspension stage. As for the 600W cooling module case, it has never stopped from the beginning until now".

Intel's new Core Ultra 200V series "Lunar Lake" processors ship with next-gen Xe2 "Battlemage" integrated GPUs that offer some gigantic improvements in performance, right after AMD launches its Ryzen AI 300 series "Strix Point" APUs with upgraded RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 890M GPUs.

The new Xe2 "Battlemage" GPU has a 50% performance increase over Xe "Alchemist" inside of Meteor Lake, with more improvements in ray tracing through improved ray tracing units, better utilization of the CPU cores versus Alchemist Xe-LPG GPUs.;

Intel compares its Xe GPUs on the Core Ultra 7 155H "Meteor Lake" CPU against the new flagship Core Ultra 9 288V "Lunar Lake" CPU in a bunch of games, delivering a 31% uplift in performance, and in some games, over 60-70% more performance over Alchemist. Very nice to see.

NVIDIA's next-generation GeForce RTX 5090 reportedly has a 600W TDP, while the RTX 5080 is pegged at 400W and will have 10% more performance than the current-gen flagship RTX 4090.

In a new post on X by leaker "kopite7kimi" we're learning that there are some new GeForce RTX 50 series "Blackwell" GPU details regarding TDPs on the higher-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards. The leaker says that the flagship GeForce RTX 5090 will have a 600W TDP, while the RTX 5080 will have a 400W TDP.

VideoCardz confirmed with kopite7kimi that the RTX 5080 is "projected" to show a 1.1x increase in performance over the RTX 4090, but the leaker "did not specify whether this improvement pertains to overall, raster, or ray tracing performance". We've previously heard rumors of the RTX 5090 having a base GPU clock of 2.9GHz+ which would result in around 30% more performance from GPU clocks alone, while Micron itself said its next-gen GDDR7 will have 30% performance gains.

The Steam Hardware & Software Survey results for August 2024 are now online, and when it comes to GPUs, the GeForce RTX 3060 is still the most popular option among PC gamers. The story hasn't changed much in the desktop space compared to last month, with the GeForce RTX 4060, RTX 4060 Ti, and RTX 4070 proving to be the undisputed go-to cards for this generation.

NVIDIA is dominating, with AMD and Intel barely making an impression outside integrated graphics. However, this month, the Steam hardware chart for GPUs sees a new arrival in the form of AMD Radeon 780M Graphics, the integrated graphics found in popular portable gaming hardware like the ROG Ally, Legion Go, and several other portable devices from companies like Ayaneo, Zotac, and more.

Found in the popular Ryzen 7000 Series of mobile processors, Radeon 780M Graphics has been a game changer (alongside the Radeon hardware inside the Steam Deck) for pushing portable PC gaming handhelds into the mainstream.

NVIDIA's marketing department has made an interesting move by introducing a new case badge for its GeForce RTX range of GPUs which specifically mentions AI usage.

Tech Powerup noticed the new official badge - that'll be slapped on laptops packing GeForce graphics cards, and maybe even some prebuilt desktop PCs - which has a new tagline of 'powering advanced AI.'

As the site notes, this is fair enough, as AI is a major piece of the GeForce puzzle these days, and RTX products have built-in AI acceleration (sporting tensor cores).

AMD is reportedly going to position its Radeon RX 8000 series "RDNA 4" family of graphics cards like it did with the first-gen Radeon RX 5000 series "RDNA" graphics cards.

In a new post from leaker Golden Pig Upgrade, who explained: "the positioning of RDNA 4 is similar to that of RDNA 1, so don't expect flagship-level performance. The focus is on reducing costs. If Navi 44 can improve the performance of mid-range GPUs, that would be a good thing. Otherwise, it could become common for NVIDIA to sell the AD107 as the RTX 4060 in the future".

AMD launched its Navi 10 XT GPU inside of the Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics card at the time, its highest-end RDNA card (that didn't compete with NVIDIA flagship GPUs at the time). We've been hearing for months now that RDNA 4 could NOT be competing in the high-end, with AMD taking the mid-range route with its upcoming Radeon RX 8000 series graphics cards.

NVIDIA launched the 'world's first GPU' with the release of the GeForce 256 back on October 11, 1999 after announcing the card on August 31, 1999. It's now 25 years old. Wow.

NVIDIA changed the entire industry -- technology and gaming -- with the release of the GeForce 256, fast-forwarding to today and the "little-known brand" reached a milestone $3.3 trillion market cap and has been leading the charge in gaming and AI for years.

The GeForce 256 at the time introduced hardware transform and lighting (T&L) features directly into the GPU, previously these calculations were run on the CPU or required dedicated hardware (like everything did back in the 90s: sound cards, networking cards, graphic cards, MPEG2 decoder cards, and more). NVIDIA introduced the 'world's first GPU' with the GeForce 256, and the rest is history.

AMD is expected to unveil its new RDNA 4 GPU architecture later this year, with a smaller, mid-range focused range of Radeon RX 8000 series GPUs. One of those will be the Navi 44 XL GPU-powered card that should materialize into the Radeon RX 8600.

In a new shipping manifest, the Navi 44 XL GPU has been spotted, the second most powerful RDNA 4 GPU other than the Navi 48 that should power the Radeon RX 8700 or Radeon RX 8800 series graphics cards. Data miner "Orlak29" spotted the new Navi 44 XL entries in a new shipping manifest that you can see above.

The purported Navi 44 XL GPU would power the mid-range Radeon RX 8600 if AMD doesn't go through any name changes in the meantime, while Navi 48 will take the slightly higher-end, but no RDNA 4 cards will be competing in the high-end against NVIDIA. Hell, AMD's new RDNA 4 cards won't even be competing against AMD's previous-gen RDNA 3-based high-end Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs.

AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 24.8.1 is available now for all Radeon owners and supports a range of new games. The highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Open Beta kicks off this weekend for gamers who have pre-ordered the latest Call of Duty or are subscribed to Xbox or PC Game Pass, and support is included here.

There's also support for the dead-on-arrival Concord, the new Sony and PlayStation multiplayer title struggling to find an audience. Plus, popular new single-player games Star Wars Outlaws from Ubisoft and the long-awaited PC debut of Final Fantasy XVI from Square Enix.

AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 24.8.1 also adds new HYPR-Tune profiles for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which will automatically configure settings and enable AMD FSR 3. Also, AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2 support for Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT has been added, and the company's low-latency tech is similar to NVIDIA Reflex.
