➂ The board features 6 x 2.5GbE LAN ports, 8 x USB 3.2 ports, and a PCIe x16 Gen5 slot for dual-slot GPU cards.

➀ AMD is rumored to launch the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D CPUs alongside RDNA 4 GPUs in late March.

➁ The CPUs are expected to offer a 20% performance boost in gaming compared to Intel's Core Ultra 200S processors.

➂ The RX 9070 XT is rumored to be within 15-20% of the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5080, with potential availability unlike the RTX 5080.

➀ Asus is reportedly developing the first NUC with an AMD CPU, specifically the Ryzen AI Max-395/W 8060S.

➁ The new mini-PC is likely to be tested by the Bureau of Indian Standards, suggesting a potential Indian launch.

➂ The integrated Radeon 8060S graphics of the Ryzen AI Max 395+ are claimed to outperform the RTX 4070 laptop GPU by up to 68%.

➀ AMD denies the rumored $899 starting price for the RX 9070 XT.

➁ Rumors suggest that AMD's RDNA 4 graphics cards were expected to compete with Intel and Nvidia's mid-range offerings.

➂ There are speculations about delays and stock readiness for AMD's latest GPUs.

➀ AMD confirms that RDNA 4 architecture will initially target desktop GPUs, with mobile offerings to follow later.

➁ RDNA 4 introduces several improvements, including optimized Compute Units, enhanced AI, and faster ray tracing.

➂ Despite the current shortage of Radeon dGPU-powered laptops, AMD plans to prioritize desktop GPUs with RDNA 4 before moving to mobile platforms.

➀ AMD unveiled its Ryzen AI 300 flagship lineup, codenamed Strix Halo, at CES 2025.

➁ New benchmarks suggest that the top-end Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is up to 68% faster than the RTX 4070 mobile GPU in gaming.

➂ However, the Nvidia comparison system used in these tests was constrained by the thermal design power of the Asus ROG Flow Z13.

➀ A reliable source suggests that the RDNA 4 driver for AMD RX 9000 series GPUs will automatically replace FSR 3.1 DLL files with FSR 4, enabling seamless upgrades for supported games.

➁ This upgrade process implies that all AMD FSR 3.1-enabled games will benefit from FSR 4 without developer intervention.

➂ The move aims to streamline the adoption of advanced upscaling features for future AMD GPUs, ensuring smoother performance and image quality improvements.

➀ Philip Heptonstall, a UKESF Scholar and Co-Op Intern at AMD, contributed to a systems-level understanding of Forward Error Correction (FEC) in high-speed interconnects.

➁ He developed a modeling tool to predict FEC performance, enabling rapid iteration of solutions. He also helped AMD upskill its employees and new graduates by organizing a course on modern ASIC design flows.

➂ Philip has been involved in STEM and community outreach work, including leading the Controls Systems sub-team for Edinburgh University Formula Student and promoting the UK Electronics Skills Foundation.
