It’s well-known that gaming is facing an affordability crisis, as higher demand for AI-capable GPUs and DDR5 memory leads to soaring prices for gamers, along with broader impacts on the gaming hardware industry. Currently, new leaks indicate that the situation is expected to deteriorate even further in 2026. As reported by the Korean outlet Newsis, AMD and

AMD’s anticipated “Zen 6” client processors are likely to maintain the trend of providing optional SKUs featuring 3D V-Cache, akin to those before them. Nonetheless, these upcoming processors could have considerably greater cache sizes than the existing “Zen 5” models in the “Granite Ridge” lineup. As reported by HXL on X, the single-CCD variant will feature 144 MB of 3D

Within the “Granite Ridge” Ryzen 9000 X3D lineup, AMD’s forthcoming Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor has been observed operating with 9,800 MT/s DDR5 memory, positioning this late-cycle “Zen 5” SKU exceptionally high for

In late summer, reports surfaced indicating that AMD leadership informed its motherboard manufacturing partners regarding an impending discontinuation of the long-standing B650 chipset. At that time, supposed “clearance plans” aimed for an end window of October 2025—facilitating B850 supremacy. The two generations have coincided in retail availability, yet Team Red appears to aim to enhance the newer

The anticipated price increase from AMD at the close of 2025 is now confirmed as true by unnamed GPU suppliers to Tom’s Hardware. The rise is a more modest $10 for every 8 GB of VRAM. This indicates a $10 rise for 8 GB variants such as the Radeon

Earlier this week, discussions regarding upcoming price hikes—impacting both current and older generation AMD Ryzen processors—circulated among PC hardware news sites and forums. There is a discussion on whether Team Red instructed its retail partners to raise the prices of the Ryzen 9000 (Zen 5) and Ryzen 7000/8000

AMD is completing its strategy for raising GPU prices by the end of 2026. A recent report from Chinese Board Channels indicates that AMD plans to raise the prices of its 8 GB SKUs by $20, while the 16 GB versions will see a $40 price hike. In total, players are anticipated to experience a price hike of 300

In contemporary times, Intel tends to issue “Refreshed” versions of current CPU families. A new leak indicates that this trend will persist, featuring the upcoming budget-oriented “Wildcat Lake” mobile chip series. Earlier today, Jaykihn stated that an enhanced version will utilize two extra power cores and two more Low-Power efficient (LPE) units—previous leaks indicated the use of “Cougar

AMD has unveiled an official website placeholder for the Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPU, which surfaced in leaks back in October. AMD is reportedly working on two more updates for the “Granite Ridge” Ryzen 9000 X3D series. One is a premier model,

One of the most trusted Intel leakers reports that the forthcoming Intel “Nova Lake” desktop CPUs will feature 144 MB of bLLC cache to enhance their current cache setup, providing Intel with a counterpart to AMD’s 3D V-Cache for improved gaming. Intel currently utilizes bLLC in its “Clearwater

An interesting Intel Core Ultra 9 386H mobile processor has appeared on Geekbench Browser, as noted by those who woke up early. Today’s reports have concentrated on specifics generated by an “Acer Predator PHN16S-I51” test model; likely a next-generation Helios gaming

Further confirmations about the introduction of “Arrow Lake Refresh” have surfaced, with Intel revising its processor SKU support matrix for DDR5 technologies. The “Arrow Lake Refresh” chips will enable quicker DDR5 memory. Intel verifies that ARLR will come equipped with native capabilities for

AMD has allegedly informed its supply chain that it plans to raise prices for its entire GPU product range by approximately 10%. The primary factor behind this is the significant memory deficit causing DRAM prices to soar and consuming all the profit margins for GPU manufacturers. It seems that AMD’s AIB partners

AMD’s Senior Vice President and General Manager, Jack Huynh, shared a video on X teasing the forthcoming release of the company’s latest sophisticated graphics technology, called “Redstone.” The most recent teaser indicates that additional information will be disclosed on December 10.
