AMD's next-generation GPU architecture is either going to be called UDNA or RDNA 5, with leaks suggesting the highest-end next-gen GPU from AMD will feature up to 96 CUs on the flagship GPU, a huge 50% increase in GPU cores over the biggest RDNA 4 chip on the market.

We've been hearing rumbles about AMD's next-generation GPU architecture after RDNA 4, which will either be RDNA 5 in some form, or the introduction of UDNA. The latest rumors on the next-gen Radeon GPU is that AMD is rumored to debut a high-end "multi-chiplet" GPU that could debut with UDNA, but the very latest rumor is from leaker "Kepler_L2" who suggests the next-gen Radeon GPU lineup.

Kepler_L2 explained: "yeah, my guess is the lineup will go from 64CU / 256-bit + 32 CU / 128-bit to 96 CU / 384-bit + 64 CU + 256-bit + 32 CU + 128-bit".

The GALAX GeForce RTX 5090 D is one of the best custom RTX 5090 graphics cards on the market, with an XOC BIOS that allows for an insane 2001W power limit now leaked online.

GALAX's custom GeForce RTX 5090 D HOF XOC graphics card is a monster custom offering that sports dual 16-pin power connectors, and with the right BIOS, it can be pushed up to a huge 2001W power limit. These custom BIOSes aren't released to the public and rather to extreme and professional overclockers, but now the XOC BIOS has been leaked online.

We've recently seen the GALAX RTX 5090 D HOF XOC graphics card setting new world records on the benchmark scene, with its GPU pushed to an insane 3650MHz and its 32GB of GDDR7 memory pushed to 36Gbps. We've also seen the GALAX RTX 5090 D HOF XOC hit eBay with a starting price of $5500... so even if you've got one of these cards, you've paid a helluva lot for it, and would want that juicy custom XOC BIOS to push 2001W of power into it.

NVIDIA and the University of Bristol have unveiled what is now the United Kingdom's fastest supercomputer, as well as one of the most energy-efficient supercomputers globally.

NVIDIA has taken to its blog to announce the Isambard-AI supercomputer, which features 5,448 NVIDIA Grace Hopper superchips that are cooled through a series of liquid-cooled HPE server cabinets, each containing 440 GPUs.

The system is designed for research purposes and will be utilized to investigate topics spanning from materials science to the discovery of new drugs aimed at maintaining a healthy human population. Moreover, the system was assembled in under two years, whereas typical projects of this size typically take around three years to complete.

AMD has confirmed that it will be launching its new Radeon AI PRO R9700 workstation-ready graphics card on July 23, built on the full-fat Navi 48 GPU die and features 32GB of GDDR6 memory.

The company has specifically tuned the new Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics card for lower-precision calculations and demanding AI workloads, with AMD noting that it delivers up to 496% faster inference on large transformer models compared to NVIDIA's Blackwell-based GeForce RTX 5080.

AMD's new Radeon AI PRO R9700 will also be around half the price of NVIDIA's new RTX PRO Blackwell GPUs, with the Radeon AI PRO R9700 at launch being offered only inside turnkey workstations from OEM partners like Boxx and Velocity Micro.

GravaStar and Yeston have just unveiled their new Mercury Nova Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card, combining the RDNA 4 GPU with a cyberpunk-inspired design. Check it out:

The new Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card combines AMD's new RDNA 4 architecture with GravaStar's iconic sci-fi design language, with the company designing the Mercury Radeon RX 9070 XT for PC gamers, custom PC builders, and collectors who want power and personality.

NVIDIA has been rumored to launch its new GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 graphics card into China, but fresh reports suggest that won't be happening as US restrictions are slowly easing.

The ban on NVIDIA's H20 AI GPU is expected to be lifted soon, raising doubts about the launch of the RTX 5090 D V2 in China, according to a new post by leaker "MEGAsizeGPU" on X. NVIDIA has reportedly not shipped its new RTX 5090 D V2 graphics cards to AIB partners, and with the US government easing its restrictions, the company could now resell its RTX 5090 D.

The RTX 5090 D has been selling in China for many months now, with NVIDIA having quite the inventory of RTX 5090 D cards still, we are to expect the RTX 5090 D V2 to not appear for now. The supply chain is still expecting the RTX 5090 D V2 to be released, so it could be a few more months before release so that the company can get rid of its RTX 5090 D inventory.

Razer has just introduced two new PC accessories powered by the ultra-fast Thunderbolt 5 standard, with the new Razer Thunderbolt 5 Dock and Razer Core X V2 external GPU enclosure.

PowerColor is updating its new Radeon AI PRO R9700 32GB graphics card, with a tweaked design, which will be launching later this month. Check it out below:

The folks over at VideoCardz report that their original story had PowerColor launching the new Radeon AI PRO W9700 featuring AMD's in-house reference design, with AMD confirming it wouldn't be launching any reference cooler for the card, and that the card shown in renders was "purely an artistic interpretation".

PowerColor is now no longer showing off its "reference" design, instead showing its own in-house blower-style cooler that has reportedly replaced the older version. The new PowerColor Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics card has a new custom cooler design, with tweaks made to the PCB, as well as the capacitor layout. The card continues on with the blower-style cooler, but the fan has been tweaked and pushed back slightly, making room for multi-GPU clusters.

NVIDIA has announced that the US government has granted the company approval for selling GPUs to Chinese customers, following the US ban on the sale of high-end GPUs over fears that China would use them to advance military operations and get a leg up in the global AI arms race.

NVIDIA attempted to work around those initial bans set by the US government by introducing new GPUs specifically designed within the parameters set by the US government, which meant these China-destined models had underpowered hardware.

One of those GPUs was the H20, which NVIDIA specifically designed for sales to China and was granted approval by US authorities to begin shipments. However, the US government reversed its decision and blocked the H20 by no longer issuing export permits for it. This decision cost NVIDIA $10 billion in sales.

The new Radeon RX 9070 GRE or Golden Radeon Edition is currently exclusive to the Asian market, specifically China, as the fourth RDNA 4 offering from AMD. Spec-wise, it sits in between the new mainstream Radeon RX 9060 XT and the baseline Radeon RX 9070, with the 9070 GRE shipping with 48 Compute Units, a Boost Clock speed of 2790 MHz, and 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus.

Currently, there's no official confirmation that the Radeon RX 9070 GRE will make its way to more global markets, but this has happened with prior GRE releases, where AMD releases them first in China before rolling them out to western markets months later.

That hasn't stopped German outlet Computer Base from getting their hands on a Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070 GRE and benchmarking its performance against the latest generation of mainstream GPUs, and more, from NVIDIA and AMD. With 20+ games tested, it's a comprehensive look at the new GPU's performance, which just so happens to present a massive improvement over the Radeon RX 9060 XT.

NVIDIA's Smooth Motion technology was released earlier this year, a driver-based Frame Generation solution similar to AMD's Fluid Motion Frames in that it doesn't require game integration, like DLSS. Initially, this new feature was exclusive to the latest GeForce RTX 50 Series of graphics cards, but that's changing in an upcoming driver release.

The feature was spotted in the latest GeForce 590.26 Preview Driver for developers, which includes support for enabling Smooth Motion on GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards. Although Smooth Motion doesn't require game integration like DLSS Frame Generation, it still utilizes the AI hardware in GeForce RTX GPUs for generating its additional frame.

Smooth Motion, like Frame Generation, is all about improving the performance of a game by generating a new frame in between traditionally rendered frames. This improves the overall smoothness of the presentation, giving the impression and effect of doubling or substantially boosting performance.

ASUS has revealed the most expensive graphics card ever made, with the introduction of its new ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Real Gold Edition, and it's worth as much as a house at over $500,000.

The new ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Real Gold Edition was revealed at the recent Bilibili World 2025 event, with some pictures shared by @realVictor on X of the new ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Real Gold Edition that is made purely of real gold. Not just up to 6.5g of gold on the recent ROG Astral Dhahab Edition graphics cards made for the Middle Eastern market, but real, actual gold, and a real, actual price of $500,000.

ASUS is using 5kg of real gold on its custom ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Real Gold Edition graphics card, and with 1kg of gold selling for around $100,000... that means that this new custom graphics card is worth an insane $500,000 in just gold alone, with another few thousand dollars for the GeForce RTX 5090 that it's been dipped in.

NVIDIA has announced another giveaway, this time it's a custom Cyberpunk 2077-themed GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition graphics card, and you can enter by commenting on the X post below.

The company announced a couple of days ago it was giving away a custom Superman-themed GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition signed by Jim Lee, with the giveaways a part of the GeForce RTX Summer event. The Cyberpunk 2077-themed RTX 5090 isn't hand-painted like the Superman-themed RTX 5090, but it still looks slick.

There's a full yellow sticker wrap on the card, but it would've been real nice if it was a full custom job like previous special editions that the company has used on Cyberpunk 2077-themed graphics cards over the years.

COLORFUL is cooking up a new GeForce RTX 50 series iGame Ultra Duo White SSD GPU, with dual M.2 SSD slots on the back, letting you expand your SSD storage using your graphics card.

Chinese media noticed the new graphics card at the recent Bilibili World 2025 event, with what appears to be COLORFUL's exciting new iGame Ultra Duo White SSD, with what should be a GB206 or GB207-based GeForce RTX 50 series GPU with dual M.2 SSD slots on the back.

The PCB itself looks quite short, with mounting holes on the back of the GPU heatsink sitting between the SSD and I/O bracket without a full slot required. The upcoming COLORFUL iGame Ultra Duo White SSD GPU uses just 8 PCIe lanes, with two additional SSDs using the PCIe bifurcation mechanism, allowing multiple devices to be used on the same interface. The GPU uses 8 lanes, with each SSD enjoying 4 dedicated lanes.

GALAX's flagship GeForce RTX 5090D HOF OC Lab XOC graphics card is an elusive GPU that has just hit eBay with a starting price of $5500... check it out:

The new ultra-flagship GALAX RTX 5090D HOF OC Lab XOC graphics card is one of the fastest consumer GPUs on the planet, with dual 16-pin PCIe power connectors and an insane 2000W BIOS. It has broken multiple world records in the last few weeks since its introduction, with more details on that in the links below.

GALAX's custom RTX 5090D HOF OC Lab XOC graphics card has a powerful 38-phase PWM, 26 of which are dedicated to the GPU, with a 12-layer PCB and two 12VHPWR power connectors. The dual 16-pin power connectors and its 2000W BIOS are designed for LN2 cooling, that allow for peak power consumption of over 1000W, far up and above the 600W limit that NVIDIA imposes on its AIB partners for the RTX 5090.

AMD has been rumored for quite a while that it was working on a multi-chiplet gaming GPU, with a new patent fueling these rumors in the battle of GPUs against NVIDIA.

In a new video shared by coreteks, we're hearing that AMD has recently secured a new multi-chiplet GPU patent that could solve the latency issues using a 'Smart Switch'. MCM (Multi-Chiplet Module) isn't new, as they're used outside of the gaming GPU market, but there are limitations of monolithic GPU designs that MCM can solve.

AMD used an MCM design approach for its Instinct MI200 series AI accelerators, stacking multiple chiplets onto a single package, including the GPCs (Graphics Processing Cores), HBM memory stack, and the I/O die. However, AMD used a different approach with its Instinct MI350 series AI chips, and this could be the foundation of its multi-chiplet-based consumer gaming GPUs according to coreteks in his new video.

The new PNY GeForce RTX 5050 Single Fan Graphics Card is one of the smallest desktop RTX GPUs, measuring just 146.7mm in length. The entry-level GPU from NVIDIA targets 1080p gaming performance, with DLSS 4, while also bringing the latest generation of hardware encoders and decoders to the compact home theater and content creator PC market.

The dual-slot single-fan PNY GeForce RTX 5050, alongside the company's GeForce RTX 5060 variant, is small enough to fit inside even the most compact case, thanks to its 130W power rating, heatsink, and optimized fan, ensuring it runs cool even during intense gaming sessions. Essentially, it resembles a dual-fan GPU cut in half, with the single 8-pin power connector positioned closer to the PCIe bracket than to the rear.

Port-wise, it's your typical GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU, featuring three DisplayPort 2.1 ports and a single HDMI 2.1 port. One of the most significant differences between NVIDIA's entry-level GeForce RTX 5050 and its counterparts is that it features the fewest CUDA Cores of the entire line-up. It has 8GB of older GDDR6 memory, whereas all other models utilize the faster and newer GDDR7 memory.
