AMD has followed in the footsteps of NVIDIA with its Radeon RX GPUs, trying to gain market share anywhere that it can. While the class-leading halo products such as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX are released early in the life cycle of a GPU architecture, the entry level products often follow years later. It appears as though some models such as the RX 7300 and RX 7400 may never see the light of day, as board partners warp ahead to AMD's RDNA 4 according to Benchlife.

A while ago, reports indicated that AMD might not be done with AM4 just yet, with a leaker suggesting that an AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D and Ryzen 7 5700X3D were on the way. While the Ryzen 7 5700X3D has since launched (curr. $209.96 on Amazon) and impressed in benchmarks, there hasn't been much in the rumour mill about its Ryzen 5 sibling in a while. Now, another leak, this time from the more official Eurasian Economic Commission, indicates that there may have been some truth to the previous leak of a Ryzen 5 variant.

Although Apple’s tablet lineup has undergone several shakeups over the last several years, we long considered the ninth-gen iPad to be the best budget iPad you could get. That changed when Apple dropped the price of the 10th-gen iPad to a more sensible $349 and discontinued its entry-level model. But the 2021 iPad remains a perfectly good slate, especially now that the base model with 64GB of storage is down to an all-time low of $229 ($100 off) at Amazon and $229.99 at Best Buy.

Google unveiled its next generation of Pixel phones, providing the maker of Android software a head start on the next iPhone in the race to bring more artificial-intelligence services to devices that have become people’s constant companions. MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) — Google on Tuesday unveiled its next generation of Pixel phones, providing the maker of Android software a head start on the next iPhone in the race to bring more artificial-intelligence services to devices that have become people’s constant companions. The showcase held near Google’s Mountain View, California, headquarters took place two months earlier than when the company typically rolls out the next models in its Pixel phone line-up, which made its debut eight years ago. Although Pixel phones still represent a sliver of worldwide smartphone sales, they are still closely watched because they serve as Google’s platform for demonstrating the latest advances in the Android operating system that powers virtually every phone not made by Apple.
