AMD launched a wave of new hardware at Computex 2026, beginning the busy tech show week with announcements including the Radeon RX 9070 GRE graphics card and the Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 series processors. The new Radeon graphics card is positioned to offer strong 1440p gaming performance, while the AI-focused processors aim to bolster capabilities for large language models and professional applications.

The Radeon RX 9070 GRE graphics card will be available starting June 1, with a price point beginning at $549 USD. This new GPU is designed as a step below the existing RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT models. Built on the RDNA 4 architecture, the RX 9070 GRE targets gamers seeking excellent performance at 1440p resolution. It comes equipped with 12GB of video memory, 48 compute units, 48 ray-tracing accelerators, and 96 AI accelerators, capable of boosting up to 2.79GHz. The card has a rated board power of 220 Watts.

Beyond the RX 9070 GRE, AMD also introduced Radeon AI FSR PRO, a new solution for professional graphics applications focused on Ray Generation, alongside Radeon AI PRO R9700 certifications. These initiatives highlight AMD's commitment to expanding its professional graphics ecosystem.

Expanded CPU and Platform Support

In addition to graphics hardware, AMD provided updates for its central processing unit lineups. For users on the long-standing AM4 platform, AMD announced the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition. This special edition CPU offers an upgrade path for existing AM4 systems without requiring a full platform migration to AM5, which can involve higher costs for motherboards and memory. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition is slated for release on June 25, priced at $349 USD. The original Ryzen 7 5800X3D, launched in 2022, remains a capable processor for many users.

On the AM5 platform, AMD revealed the Ryzen 7 7700X3D, set to launch on July 16 for $329 USD. This processor features 8 cores and 16 threads, a maximum boost clock of 4.5GHz, and a 120 Watt TDP. It includes 104MB of total cache, leveraging AMD's 3D V-Cache technology. AMD also reaffirmed its support for the AM5 platform, extending its commitment through 2029. This long-term support signals continued investment in the current generation of desktop processors.

AMD also teased its upcoming EXPO Ultra Low Latency (ULL) technology, designed to further enhance memory performance. The company claims this new automatic overclocking feature can provide an average FPS boost of up to 4% over current EXPO memory profiles.

The company's focus on artificial intelligence is further emphasized with the introduction of the Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 series processors. These new chips, based on the Zen 5 architecture, offer increased memory support, allowing for the operation of larger large language models (LLMs) compared to the previous 300 series, which supported up to 128GB. The Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 series, including models like the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, Ryzen AI Max PRO 490, and Ryzen AI Max PRO 485, can support up to 192GB of memory. AMD also provided an update on its Ryzen AI Halo box, initially powered by the Ryzen AI Max+ 395, with future iterations expected to feature the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495.
