Imagine you are Asus — the famous computer hardware company... and your new policy is to scam people during service repairs. Asus now breaks things during "repair" and asks for insane payments from customers (sometimes higher than the price of the initial device)

But what if a blogger will find it out and will become a secret customer?

Asus overclocked Ryzen 9800X3D to a whopping 6.9GHz at just a little over 100W and reached over 1200 FPS in Counter Strike (the original video is in Chinese, so, no link).

Several times it reached over 1500 FPS, but at more complicated moments fell to a regular (barely playable) 800... 😅

It's a crucial change, since all previous X3D models were locked from overclocking: the extra memory was placed on top of the CPU and it limited the heat transfer. This time they swapped them, by placing CPU on top, so it's as good for overclocking as regular models.

The first batch is sold out almost everywhere (and unlike Intel Ultra, there were a lot of them, but apparently not enough).

Another upcoming CES 2025 announcement is the insane Asus gaming tablet, capable of running all AAA games. It will be powered by AMD Ryzen AI Max 395 Plus, a Zen 5 processor with Radeon 8060S graphics.

This beast has a 40 Compute Units RDNA 3.5 GPU (2.5 times more than the modern flagship). No surprise that it will have a TDP of up to 80 watts for GPU alone. It will be comparable with modern discrete graphics (possibly reaching levels of 4060 before frame generation).

The biggest limitations will be in its memory stack: 4-channel LPDDR5X is still many times slower than GDDR6. But despite relatively slow speeds, the chip can allocate up to 96GB for the GPU needs.

Be careful with Asus: they have more holes than that funky Apple cheese grader case:
