Great spending time with Rick Mershad, CEO of @microcenter, to talk about an exciting milestone for builders. Ryzen AI Halo systems are now shipping from Micro Center. 💪 @AMD is the #1 desktop CPU at Micro Center with Ryzen X3D. 🎮 Radeon powers approximately 1 in every 3 desktop gaming GPUs sold at Micro Center. Now we are extending that same momentum into a new era. Ryzen AI Halo gives AI developers and builders the ability to run larger models locally, iterate faster, and unlock powerful new AI experiences while keeping more of their work on device for greater privacy and security, without cloud limits. The Agentic PC is here 🚀

As a lifelong gamer, I spend a lot of time thinking about how to push gaming experiences forward across CPUs, GPUs, software, and games. My team and I have been working hard to evolve @AMD FSR 4 and bring it to more cards. We power over 1 billion gaming devices worldwide. It’s a responsibility we care deeply about. 🎮 This July, RDNA 3 players will experience FSR Upscaling 4.1, delivering sharper visuals and smoother gameplay than ever before. I’m grateful to our fans. Your enthusiasm and ideas inspire us to keep pushing gaming forward. FSR Upscaling 4.1 on RDNA 3 will be ready out of the box for Radeon 7000 Series players in over 300 supported games at launch. And for our RDNA 2 players, we have something exciting coming in early 2027. FSR Upscaling 4.1 will be coming to your cards as well, bringing sharper visuals and smoother gameplay to even more gamers. We cannot wait to show you what is next. Stay tuned 🚀

💥 We pushed the limits of desktop performance with X3D. Then we pushed them further. I’ve been testing the new unreleased Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition in the lab firsthand and it is incredible. The world’s first desktop CPU with dual @AMD 3D V-Cache delivers 208MB of total on-chip cache, the most we’ve ever built into a Ryzen processor. That’s several times more than most high-end CPUs had just a few years ago. Whether you’re building unreal game worlds or tackling massive content pipelines, this 16-core Zen 5 beast gives you responsiveness and power like never before, all on a consumer AM5 platform. Coming soon: Available starting April 22nd No compromises. No limits. Games. Creation. AI. Unlocked. 🚀

Legends are written by those who dare to be bold. Hello, next-gen X3D💥

We appreciate the excitement around Ryzen 9000 series processors. During final checks, we found the initial production units that were shipped to our channel partners did not meet our full quality expectations. Out of an abundance of caution and to maintain the highest quality experiences for every Ryzen user, we are working with our channel partners to replace the initial production units with fresh units. As a result, there will be a short delay in retail availability. The Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X processors will now go on sale on August 8th, and the Ryzen 9 9950X and Ryzen 9 9900X processors will go on-sale on August 15th. Apologies for the delay. We pride ourselves in providing a high quality experience for every Ryzen user, and we look forward to our fans having a great experience with the new Ryzen 9000 series.
