GPU maker AMD announced today that it will be celebrating 30 years of its history during a live Webcast, which will be hosted by Richard Huddy, AMD’s Chief Gaming Scientist. As part of the event, the company said that they will also be announcing brand new hardware.
AMD revealed the news in this official blog post.

The event will no doubt take fans and PC hardware historians through the debut of multiple processor lines including Athlon, its acquisition of ATI, and much more. That won’t be all, apparently.
“Festivities to be commemorated with special guests, never-before-heard stories and new product announcements,” the company’s post says. However, it’s unclear to us what those announcements could be.
We reached out to AMD about this with the hopes that they would at least provide us with some clues as to what will be revealed. No dice, unfortunately.
“It shall be a surprise,” AMD told Digital Trends.
New graphics cards are a safe bet of course, but we’d love to see a renewed commitment to desktop processors that could rival what Intel offers with the best its Core-i line. However, the latter is highly unlikely.
The webcast will kick off on August 23, at 10:00 a.m. EDT.

Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.
How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?
According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
