And not only in Counter Strike 2 AMD had to disable its latest Anti-Lag+ feature in all games. The latest Radeon Software Adrenalin 23.10.2 driver comes out just a week after the previous one, where Anti-Lag+ received support for Counter-Strike 2.  [caption id="attachment_70272" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] Let us remind you that it turned out that Valve Anti-Cheat security software automatically blocks players who have the Anti-Lag+ function enabled. The problem affects not only Counter-Strike 2 but also several other competitive online shooters.   AMD has disabled the new Anti-Lag+ feature, which caused gamers to be blocked in Counter-Strike 2 The thing is that the method by which Anti-Lag+ works in games through the driver is identified by anti-cheat programs as one of the ways to bypass the game’s protection. Anti-Lag+ does not require developers to integrate it into a particular game but instead modifies game DLLs.  It is unclear what AMD will do next with its development. Perhaps it will simply block its activation in those games where this may be a problem, leaving the function active for everyone else. Let us remind you that the Anti-Lag+ function itself is designed to reduce delays.  

These are almost complete copies of the RX 6700 and RX 6700 XT AMD today introduced the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 10GB and Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12GB video cards. Unlike the RX 7900 GRE, which is an independent model, these two new products are almost complete copies of the RX 6700 and RX 6700 XT. But at the same time, the new products are much cheaper, and because of this, they create competition for the same RX 7600. You can verify this by looking at the tests that have already been published by Chinese resources.  [caption id="attachment_70259" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] As you can see, the youngest of the new products is slightly ahead of the RX 7600, while the older one is much faster and almost identical to the RX 6750 XT. At the same time, let us remind you that AMD’s new products are very cheap. Initially, only prices for China were known, but there are also retail prices for the US, which is strange considering that in the US and Europe, these adapters will reportedly only be available as part of pre-built PCs.  One way or another, for the US we are talking about $270 and $290 for the younger and older versions, respectively. The difference is surprisingly negligible, and the older card looks much more advantageous: it has more memory, a wider bus, and more stream processors.  AMD is selling for $290 while the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti sells for $400-$500. [caption id="attachment_70260" align="aligncenter" width="556"] AMD[/caption] [caption id="attachment_70261" align="aligncenter" width="563"] AMD[/caption] At the same time, the price of the RX 7600 is just $270, that is, we can say that both new products compete with this adapter and the older of the new products looks more profitable.   As for competing with Nvidia, the RX 6750 GRE 12GB is almost identical to the RTX 4060 Ti. Moreover, the latter costs $400.

Because of this, GPD is unable to supply its set-top boxes to customers. GPD, known for its portable laptop-game console hybrids, is experiencing supply problems with its new Win Max 2 model. And AMD is to blame for this, according to GPD.  [caption id="attachment_70240" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] GPD accuses AMD of missing delivery dates for Ryzen 7000 hybrid processors GPD says AMD is unable to supply the pre-agreed number of Ryzen 7000 APUs on which the new console is based. More precisely, we are talking about the Ryzen 7 7840U. GPD received the first batch of these APUs, but they still haven’t received the second, although they should have received it a long time ago. As a result, GPD accused AMD of violating the terms of the contract, but it is not yet clear whether this is all formalized in legal form.  It is also unknown what volumes of Ryzen APUs we are talking about. However, you need to understand that AMD does not produce its own CPUs and GPUs. The company's modern solutions are produced by TSMC.  

The basic version with 10 GB of memory costs this much, but there is also an option with 12 GB of memory. Today, AMD officially unveiled the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 3D card. It has two options that don't differ much in price ($305 and $325) but are very different in terms of features. [caption id="attachment_70227" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] The base Radeon RX 6750 GRE with 10GB of GDDR6 memory has 36 compute units, a 160-bit memory bus, and 80MB of fast Infinity Cache memory. GPU frequency - 2189–2450 MHz, consumption - 170 W. This is how AMD describes the latest Radeon RX 6750 GRE graphics card for $305 [caption id="attachment_70228" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] The Radeon RX 6750 GRE version with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory received a GPU with 40 computing units and a frequency of 2439–2581 MHz. The memory bus width was 192 bits, the Infinity Cache volume was 96 MB, and the consumption was much higher - 230 W. Both versions will be offered in China by AMD partners and major PC builders as pre-configured systems.

True, in many games it is of no use AMD has added support for the Fluid Motion Frames frame generator for all games that support DirectX 11/12. But this is not full support. [caption id="attachment_70213" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD Fluid Motion Frames[/caption] This is a driver-based implementation of the generator and does not require developers to implement the technology into their games. Moreover, for now, all this is implemented in the preliminary version of the driver. AMD Fluid Motion Frames are now available in any modern game But this is not the main thing. The important thing is that, as we already said, in this implementation the frame generator is disabled when the player actively moves the camera. AMD honestly warns about this in the driver description. As a result, the technology turns out to be useless in many game genres, but now that it can work in any modern game, it can be used in general. At the same time, let us remind you that it works on Radeon RX 7000 and RX 6000 video cards.

But in reality, it should be noticeably weaker The Intel Arc A580 video card turned out to be faster than the Radeon RX 7600 in the first test, although it will be cheaper.  [caption id="attachment_64869" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Radeon RX 7600[/caption] True, this test is OpenCL in Geekbench, so it's not so easy to conclude gaming performance from this.  Arc A580 even beats Radeon RX 7600 in the first test In the benchmark, the new Intel product scores 88,000 points. By comparison, the RX 7600 scores around 83,000 points. But, for example, the RTX 3060 has a result of more than 89,000 points, but this card is inferior in games to the mentioned new AMD product.   [caption id="attachment_64870" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Radeon RX 7600[/caption] If you look at the current tests of the same RX 7600 and RTX 3060 in games and compare them with the results in OpenCL, you can assume that the Arc A580 will be approximately at the level of the RTX 2060 or a little faster. That is, it will be ahead of the RTX 3050 and may not be able to cope with the RX 6600.  Let us remind you that we still do not know the recommended price, but today in the USA there were offers with the Arc A750 for $190–200, so the A580 should be even cheaper for normal positioning.  

So far only for Radeon RX 7000 AMD today launched FSR 3 supersampling technology with Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF). Currently, it is only available in Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum, but this is in full form. It turns out that today you can try it out in another two dozen games.  [caption id="attachment_61744" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] Even at the presentation, AMD said that it would integrate Fluid Motion Frames directly into the driver, which would allow the technology to be activated in virtually any game. The full launch of this option will take place in 2024, but now the preliminary version of Adrenalin software allows you to try Fluid Motion Frames in 20 games, including several bestsellers.  You can now try out the frame renderer from FSR 3 in 20 games The list of supported games includes the following projects:   A Plague Tale - Requiem; Borderlands 3; Control; Dead Space; Deep Rock Galactic; Dying Light 2; Far Cry 6; Ghostwire: Tokyo; Hitman 3; Hogwarts Legacy; Horizon Zero Dawn; Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition; Red Dead Redemption 2; Resident Evil 3; Resident Evil 4; Shadow Of The Tomb Raider; Star Wars Jedi: Survivor; Starfield; The Last of Us Part 1; The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Unfortunately, if in the usual version Fluid Motion Frames is available for video cards starting from the Radeon RX 5000, and is also available on Nvidia and Intel cards, then the version with the driver, firstly, cuts off competitors’ cards, which is logical, and secondly, limits support to only the latest RX 7000 models.  

Ryzen 8000 will be released next year An AMD roadmap has leaked online, describing several key features of the company’s future products. It was obtained by the author of the Moore's Law Is Dead channel.  [caption id="attachment_61690" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] The document, among other things, describes the Zen 5 and Zen 6 architectures.  The first to hit the market, of course, will be Zen 5, codenamed Nirvana. The first CPUs based on it are expected in the first half of 2024. Processors with Zen 5 architecture will be produced using 3 and 4 nm process technology and will bring an increase in IPC (the number of instructions executed per clock cycle) by 10–15%. It is also known that Zen 5’s data cache will be increased to 48 KB, a new low-power core version will appear, and Zen 5 will also bring a 16-core cluster. Probably, only Zen 5c cores will be combined with 16 pieces, but this still means that the total number of cores in the new processors will increase and finally exceed the 16 pieces mark that we have become accustomed to since the Ryzen 3000.  AMD roadmap describing Zen 5 and Zen 6 leaked online https://youtu.be/ueXUoRw5LZk Zen 6, codenamed Morpheus, is expected to move to 3nm and 2nm process technology and will be released sometime in 2025. The IPC indicator will increase by 10%, that is, not as much as in recent years. However, the architecture will bring support for FP16 computing to accelerate AI/ML algorithms and a new memory profiler. Moreover, processor clusters will be able to have 32 cores each, which means that we will again see an increase in the number of cores in the CPU as a whole.   Moore's Law Is Dead profiled many AMD products before they were released. In particular, the Radeon RX 7800 and Radeon RX 7700 video cards several months before the announcement.
