AMD took the COMPUTEX 2025 stage by storm with RDNA 4 GPUs, Zen 5 Threadripper processors, and powerful AI accelerators—here’s everything you need to know.
Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series
AMD’s high-end desktop segment got a massive boost with the Threadripper 9000 Series, featuring up to 96 Zen 5 cores and support for blazing-fast DDR5-6400 memory. Built on a refined 4 nm process, these HEDT chips deliver record-breaking multi-threaded performance for content creators, VFX artists, and simulation workloads, all while offering robust PCIe 5.0 lane counts for next-gen NVMe SSDs and accelerators.
Radeon RX 9060 XT & Radeon AI PRO R9700
On the graphics front, AMD introduced the Radeon RX 9060 XT, bringing RDNA 4’s machine-learning upscaling (FSR 4) to the mainstream. With up to 16 GB GDDR6 and double the ray-tracing throughput of its predecessor, it’s poised for smooth 1440p gaming. For professionals, the Radeon AI PRO R9700 packs 128 AI accelerators and 32 GB of GDDR6, unlocking 96 teraflops of FP16 compute and enabling local AI inference on models up to 32 billion parameters.
AI Data-Center & Instinct Accelerators
AMD previewed its new Instinct MI350 series in rack-scale systems, showing off up to four MI350 cards paired with 5th-gen EPYC CPUs. These accelerators deliver competitive inference and training throughput against rival offerings—key to AMD’s push into enterprise AI deployments. A sneak peek of the Helios server platform, powered by upcoming MI400 GPUs, promises full-rack solutions in 2026.
Motherboard & Storage Innovations
Alongside processors and GPUs, AMD showcased motherboards with integrated PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots and cutting-edge VRM designs tailored for Zen 5 power. Partners demoed Thunderbolt 4 add-in cards and ultra-dense 128 TB Gen 5 SSDs, highlighting the ecosystem’s rapid evolution.
Rumors & Roadmap
Whispers from Taipei hint at an AMD Ryzen G series refresh combining Zen 5 cores with RDNA 3 iGPUs for ultralight notebooks, plus a next-gen Genoa-X EPYC CPU arriving Q4 2025. Enthusiasts also expect an AMD-branded high-efficiency laptop chipset and further AI-centric firmware updates this summer.
Upgrade Verdict
Who should upgrade now?
- Workstation users demanding multi-socket performance and PCIe 5.0 throughput
- Gamers seeking an affordable 1440p ray-tracing boost with RX 9060 XT
- AI developers wanting on-premise inference without heavy cloud costs
Who can wait?
- Budget builders eyeing sub-$300 CPUs (Zen 5 mainstream arrives later)
- Early adopters of ultralight laptops looking for integrated Vega-class graphics
AMD’s COMPUTEX 2025 lineup cements its leadership across gaming, creator, and AI segments—big wins for anyone ready to harness the power of Zen 5 and RDNA 4.
