AMD's bringing its friends to Computex but Jen-Hsun's nowhere to be seen
When Computex kicks off this month it may well be the place where we find out all the details of the next generation of gaming hardware. Those new slices of silicon nirvana which promise to deliver frame rates beyond our wildest dreams. Or, alternatively, it could be a huge anti-climax where both AMD and Nvidia nod to their new technologies without giving us anything more tangible than some chips shown off on stage, or an anonymous benchmark.
As is now traditional for the Taiwan tech show, AMD's superstar CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, is hosting one of the three CEO Keynotes, and Nvidia has just announced that it, too, will be holding a keynote the following day.
Though without a single leather jacket in sight, as Jen-Hsun is nowhere to be seen on the list of speakers for Nvidia's show. Jeff Fisher is, however, so there's a chance there'll be something there for GeForce gamers, though it may just be a quick 'and finally…' where he introduces some teaser trailer for its RTX 4000-series expected around August or September.
Or he instead teases some completely new naming scheme.
For its part, AMD's keynote is titled, «AMD Advancing the High-Performance Computing Experience» and it promises that during the address it and its ecosystem partners «will show breakthrough performance and leadership experiences for gamers, enthusiasts and creators.»
We know that there are new Zen 4 CPUs and RDNA 3 GPUs on the way later in the year, likely sometime around September to October, and there is a chance Dr. Su will introduce something along those lines. Maybe those partners will come out on stage to show off Zen 4 PCs or laptop designs.
If I had to guess I'd say either Su or Mark Papermaster will wave around a Zen 4 processor with its new
