AMD GPUs are supposed to be plentiful, but good luck finding one

According to a new leak, AMD is said to be shipping lots of RDNA 4 GPUs. But where are they?

It’s clear that AMD hit the jackpot with its recent RX 9070 XT and non-XT GPUs. The pair quickly climbed up every list of the best graphics cards, and perhaps more importantly, received a warm welcome from the GPU market at large (and thus sold out immediately). A new leak tells us that AMD is shipping lots of GPUs to try to keep up with the demand — and yet they’re still not in stock.

The information comes from Moore’s Law Is Dead on YouTube, who claims to have spoken to a major online retailer about RDNA 4 stock levels. Both Nvidia and AMD have been in a pretty dire place since the release of their latest graphics cards, with many people referring to the RTX 50-series as a “paper launch.” The cards just sell out too quickly and too many people are left trying to find one.

In the case of Nvidia, customer interest is just one part of it all — a lot of it comes down to low stock. Many retailers complained about receiving very few cards, and the wait for the next shipment is quite long. In the case of AMD, though, the problem is entirely different — the company seemingly didn’t anticipate the kind of interest RDNA 4 would be faced with.

To that end, the retailer Moore’s Law Is Dead spoke to claims that AMD is doing what it can. The anonymous source said that Nvidia and its partners have finally started shipping more Blackwell cards, with the RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070 being restocked. (The RTX 5090 is missing in action, to the surprise of no one.)

But those shipments barely make a dent in what AMD and its partners are said to be delivering. According to the retailer, AMD is delivering 2x to 4x as many RDNA 4 GPUs as all weekly Blackwell shipments combined. This is great news, but I just checked, and the GPUs are still nowhere to be found at many major retailers, including Amazon and Newegg.

While waiting for new GPUs is frustrating, it seems that both AMD and Nvidia are trying to rectify the problem. I’m hopeful that the situation will improve soon, but it’s impossible to say how long we’ll have to wait.

The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.

The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.

Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.

"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.

However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
