AMD Blasts Rumors of Dropping x86 for ARM

Although ARM thinks it can talk AMD out of using x86, the nation's second largest CPU giant says there are no plans to license ARM's technology.

Stick to your guns AMD.
INTEL is my choice cos over clocking. But these guys make great CPU,s at lower cost to intel have done for sometime. Many pol have AMD they do not med to change. To ARM.

gamingdroid4745d ago (Edited 4745d ago )

Intel unfortunately is my choice as well. For some reason they tend to run better, cooler and more stable on stock!

My AMD X2 6000+ keeps overheating and shutting down. My C2D E8500 runs fine all day long while I put it through the paces.

It would be foolish of AMD not to work on ARM. Even Windows is supporting ARM. All the phones on the market is supporting ARM right now.

Dropping x86 isn't going to happen anytime soon. Nobody has made a chip that runs as fast as x86 for consumer use.

xtremegamerage4745d ago

I want to see lots and lots of arms.

herukuti4745d ago

im gonna buy arm stock on monday; they are in more and more phones tablets and netbooks. i dont see why amd doesnt just compete against intel by licensing arm.

hiredhelp4745d ago

ARMS are ok but they yet to show what they can do sure. NGP IPAD MOBILES. but that's small scale from multitasking desktop pc,s playing games at full whack, encoding.
Overclocking .. Maybe in another year or 2. That's my thoughts.

DeadlyFire4745d ago

They want to watch NVIDIA first. If you don't know. NVIDIA are developing ARM CPUs for desktops. I think AMD's strategy depends very much so on how NVIDIA does.

Intel I don't expect to drop x86, but you never know. Only thing about ARM is well operating systems that support it on Desktop = Windows ARM, and umm...... That's it. If I were a software OS developer I would want to jump into this ARM OS market. As there is noone in it right now.

hiredhelp4745d ago (Edited 4745d ago )

nobody other than microsoft had had the monopoly on OS systems i mean real os systems. other than apples own.
so unless the next windows 7 is gonna support it. not sure were it wil end up.

other than apple. and lets face it apple wants to be a part of the gameing world now. so maybe..

NVIDIA, hmm long term rivals x86 or for thoes other than deadly fire a cpu witch can only run on system 32. very much dated but still widely used. i much prefer 64bit as can use more memory myself.

we just have to see deadlyfire were goes. my prediction be apple to take em on permanant.As they have been using them. take them into a real sysytem that can run games ect. like say i5 i7 or phenom.

DeadlyFire4744d ago

Apple is all about Intel though its whatever they do that controls were Apple will go. As most Apple products are Intel i5, Intel i7. Both of which are x86 based platforms.

Windows ARM/Windows 8 is gonna support ARM its been confirmed.

-----quote----
At today’s announcement, Microsoft demonstrated the next version of Windows running on new SoC platforms from Intel running on x86 architecture and from NVIDIA, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments on ARM architecture.
-----quote----

NVIDIA isn't working on a 32-bit ARM chip They are going to 64-bit ARM CPU. NVIDIA is wise to the game. They know 64-bit is better.

----quote----
This was a clear confirmation what our sources were saying about Project Denver: that nVidia is bringing a 64-bit instruction set to the ARM CPU architecture.

Make your next GPU upgrade AMD as these latest-gen Radeon cards receive a special promotion

AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.

Father__Merrin4d ago

Best for the money is the Arc cards

just_looken4d ago

In the past yes but last gen amd has gotten cheaper and there new cards are on the horizon making 6k even cheaper.

The arc cards are no longer made by intel but asus/asrock has some the next line battlemage is coming out prices tbd.

Do to the longer software development its always best to go amd over intel if its not to much more money even though intel is a strong gpu i own 2/4 card versions.

AMD FSR 3.1 Announced at GDC 2024, FSR 3 Available and Upcoming in 40 Games

Last September, we unleashed AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3)1 on the gaming world, delivering massive FPS improvements in supported games.

So to put 2 and 2 together... FSR 3.1 is releasing later this year and the launch game to support it is Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart. In Sony's DevNet documentation it shows Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart as the example for PSSR. PS5 Pro also launches later this year... but there is something else coming too: AMD RDNA 4 Cards (The very same technology thats in the Pro). So, PSSR is either FSR 3.1 or its a direct collaboration with AMD for that builds on FSR 3.1. Somehow they are related. I think PSSR is FSR 3.1 with the bonus of AI... now lets see if RDNA 4 cards also include an AI block.

More details:
FSR 3.1 fixes Frame Generation
If you have a 30 series RTX card you can now use DLSS3 with FSR Frame Generation (No 40 Series required!)
Its Available on all Cards (we assume it will come to console)
Fixes Temporal stability

MrDead34d ago

I've been using a mod that allows dlss frame gen on my 3080 it works on all rtx series. It'll be good not to rely on mods for the future.

darksky34d ago

The mods avaiable are actually using FSR3 frame gen but with DLSS or FSR2 upscaling.

Babadook733d ago (Edited 33d ago )

I think that the leaks about the 5 Pro would debunk the notion that the two (FSR 3.1 and PSSR) are the same technology. PSSR is a Sony technology.

MrDead35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

I wonder how much they fixed the ghosting in dark areas as Nvidia are leaving them in the dust with image quality. Still good that they are improving in big leaps, I'll have to see when the RTX5000 series is released who I go with... at the moment the RTX5000's are sounding like monsters.

just_looken34d ago

Did you see the dell leaks were they are trying to cool cards using over 1k watts of power.

We are going to need 220 lines for next gen pcs lol

MrDead34d ago

That's crazy! Sounds like heating my house won't be a problem next winter.

porkChop34d ago

As much as I hate supporting Nvidia, AMD just doesn't even try to compete. Their whole business model is to beat Nvidia purely on price. But I'd rather pay for better performance and better features. AMD also doesn't even try to innovate. They just follow Nvidia's lead and make their own version of whatever Nvidia is doing. But they're always 1 or 2 generations behind when it comes to those software/driver innovations, so Nvidia is always miles ahead in quality and performance.

MrDead34d ago

I do a lot of work on photoshop so an Intel Nvidia set up has been the got to because of performance edge, more expensive but far more stable too. Intel also have the edge over AMD processors with better load distribution on the cores, less spikes and jitters. When you're working large format you don't want lag or spikes when you're editing or drawing.

I do think AMD has improved massively though and whist I don't think they threaten Nvidia on the tech side they do make very well priced cards and processors for the power. I'm probably going with a 5080 or 5090 but AMD will get a little side look from me, which is a first in a long time... but like you said they are a generation or two behind at the moment.

Goosejuice33d ago

While I can't argue for amd gpu, they aren't bad but they aren't great either. The cpu for amd have great. I would argue the 7800x3d as one of the best cpu for gaming right now. Idk about editing so I take ur word for that but gaming amd cpu is a great option these days.

porkChop33d ago

@Goosejuice

I have a 7800X3D. It certainly is great for gaming. Though for video editing, rendering, etc, I think Intel have the advantage from what I remember. I just mean from a GPU standpoint I can't support them.
