A Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU exploded on a Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER motherboard when the computer suddenly shut down during use and failing to boot afterward. The user did not overclock the CPU and only ran DDR5 RAM at 6000 MHz on a very old BIOS from May 2023, before Gigabyte released firmware updates for Ryzen X3D processors. AMD denied the warranty claim and said the damage was due to human error, which adds to the growing number of similar AM5 CPU failures reported on different motherboard brands.

Good news for Ryzen 9000 users. AMD has confirmed that memory encryption support is returning via a BIOS update expected in July after huge community backlash. The feature, called Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME), protects data stored in RAM from physical attacks. It works in the background and needs no extra software. AMD had removed the feature in newer firmware, which led to concerns from users and security enthusiasts. After listening to “community feedback” the company decided to bring it back. Complaining works

AMD’s Ryzen X3D CPUs are so powerful that they were causing physics-related stutters in Apex Legends. Thanks to their massive 3D V-Cache, these processors let the game run at extremely high frame rates, often well over 240 FPS and sometimes pushing toward the 300 FPS cap. Apex Legends uses a physics system built on a heavily modified Source engine that simply wasn’t designed to handle today’s ultra-fast modern CPUs. At those extreme speeds, physics calculations can stall the main thread during complex scenes, leading to noticeable stutters. Respawn Entertainment fixed the problem in the Season 29 “Overclocked” patch. They improved CPU performance on physics calculations, eliminating the stutters that were especially prominent on CPUs like the Ryzen X3D series

AMD is bringing back the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, one of the most popular gaming CPUs ever made, with a new Anniversary Edition for AM4 systems. This lets existing AM4 users upgrade their gaming performance without replacing their motherboard or DDR4 memory. At the same time, AMD is introducing the Ryzen 7 7700X3D for AM5, giving new builders a more affordable way to get into the latest platform.

AMD has quietly removed the security feature called Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME) from consumer Ryzen processors via newer BIOS firmware updates. This encrypts data stored in RAM, making it harder for someone with physical access to steal information The hardware remains capable of supporting the feature, which is still available on Ryzen Pro and EPYC processors. Users discovered the change only after updating their BIOS and noticing that memory encryption was no longer available. Many users feel AMD should have clearly explained the change, especially since some systems lost the feature after firmware updates. AMD has not provided a public explanation for removing memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs.

A Chinese company is already selling a clone of Valve’s new Steam Machine for $688. The listing says it comes with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500, Radeon RX 6750 GRE 10GB, 16GB of memory, a 2TB SSD, SteamOS, and a controller. The listing says the PC uses DDR5 memory, but the Ryzen 5 5500 only supports DDR4 so the specs may not be completely correct.

ASUS has officially announced the Xbox Ally X20, bringing several upgrades designed to improve the handheld gaming experience. Key specs and features: - 7.4-inch OLED display - 120Hz refresh rate - AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor - 24GB RAM - 1TB SSD - GuliKit TMR joysticks designed to reduce stick drift - New transforming D-pad - Action button for screenshots and recordings - Green-lit Xbox button - Improved haptics - Refined bumpers and buttons - Improved cooling ASUS is also bundling the handheld with XREAL AR glasses in some regions.
