Discovered by the same researcher that revealed stutter issues in ASUS ROG laptops.
Security researcher Mohamed Maatallah, better known online as Zephkek , says he has found another firmware-level problem in ASUS ROG laptops. His new write-up argues this is baked into the UEFI and shows up regardless of OS, so it is not a Windows issue and not a driver issue.
His focus this time is a PCIe spec requirement around L1.2 power management timing. The

A fresh rumor suggested AMD could move next-generation Radeon production to Samsung Foundry on 2nm or 4nm. Leaker Kepler_L2 pushed back, calling it nonsense and saying the chips are already taped out on TSMC N3P. Kepler_L2 has a solid track record with AMD hardware chatter, and his name has also been tied to early PlayStation 5 Pro spec discussions.
The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, the supposed dual 3D V-Cache CPU, has finally appeared in a leak. Previously, it was only mentioned in a tweet that also revealed the 9850X3D CPU. Now it has been spotted on Geekbench and PassMark pages. AMD has either sent out review samples, or the CPUs are already being tested by board partners.
What we learn from the leak
A Radeon RX 7700 XT “MBA” card has surfaced online, showing what looks like an AMD reference design that never reached retail. The photos were posted on X by GOK, and the shroud design matches AMD’s own official renders, which helps confirm it is not a random custom mockup.
MBA stands for “Made by AMD.” It refers to AMD’s in-house reference design and cooler. The RX 7700
Sapphire has announced the NITRO+ RX 9070 XT PhantomLink in two color options, a titanium model and a white “Aurora” edition, with a focus on hidden GPU power delivery through a rear connector.
PhantomLink is Sapphire’s take on the ASUS BTF-style GC-HPWR connecto r. The idea is simple: compatible boards feed power to the GPU through a header near
LG is rolling out a new gaming monitor label called UltraGear evo, and it is bringing 5K-class panels to CES 2026. The headliner is a 39-inch 5K2K OLED model that leans hard into resolution, then tries to make lower-res content look sharper with on-device AI processing.
The 39-inch UltraGear evo GX9 (39GX950B) is a 21:9 ultrawide with
THUNDEROBOT has started the CES 2026 countdown with two new laptops. The ZERO Air is described as a new “light” gaming notebook, and the company says it will use Intel’s next Panther Lake processor. The aibook14 Pro is positioned as a new ultralight model with a carbon fiber chassis, with THUNDEROBOT highlighting a 1 kg class design.
On the desktop side
Mesa just got a small but nice update for the R300g driver. Yes, you read that correctly, this architecture covers old ATI/AMD Radeon cards from the Radeon 9000 series up to R500 family ( Radeon HD 2000 ). The patch was made by community contributor Pavel Ondračka, and it was merged this week.
The change adds pop
