AMD bets on Meta’s clout to power its data-center ambitions

AMD inks a strategic, warrant‑heavy deal with Meta to supply Instinct AI chips for Meta’s data centers and signal a broader push to win over other hyperscalers; the arrangement could help AMD hit a tenfold data‑center revenue target by 2030, but the upside relies on Meta’s adoption and on rival AI‑chip demand amid competition and the cost of warrants.

AMD Ends Driver Updates for Ryzen Z1 Extreme Handhelds

AMD reportedly halted driver updates for the Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU used in handhelds like Lenovo Legion Go and ROG Ally, leaving devices on older drivers after about two and a half years. OEMs must test drivers per configurable TDP, and Z1 Extreme drivers may be stuck on mid-2025 builds; Ryzen Z2 devices reportedly still receive updates. No official AMD statement yet while users await guidance.

AMD's Zen 6 Ryzen 10000: 6–24 Core CPUs on 2nm AM5 Platform

TechPowerUp reports AMD's Ryzen 10000 ‘Olympic Ridge’ will launch with Zen 6 cores in single-CCD SKUs (6/8/10/12 cores) and two-CCD SKUs (12/16/20/24 cores) on the AM5 socket, built on TSMC's 2nm N2 process. Each CCD can hold up to 48 MB of L3 cache (96 MB total for all cores), with potential 3D V-Cache enhancements, and AVX-512 support to match advanced x86 extensions.

GPU Price Surge Continues into 2026: Nvidia Leads the Wave

TechSpot finds that from November 2025 to February 2026, GPU prices rose about 15% on average across 14 current-generation cards in 10 regions, with Nvidia models bearing the biggest increases (e.g., 5060 Ti 16GB ~21%, 5070 Ti ~25%, 5090 ~32%), while AMD’s RX 9060 XT and RX 9070-series rose more modestly (roughly 10–14%). Intel’s Arc B570/B580 were the least affected. Higher VRAM costs and tighter supply contribute to above-MSRP pricing in many regions, though GPUs still rose less than memory and SSD prices. With stock aging out and newer inventory priced higher, the market isn’t expected to improve soon, so waiting for a better deal may not pay off.
