Seasonic, a prominent PSU manufacturer, has reportedly revealed several upcoming GPUs from AMD’s Radeon RX 7000 series and Nvidia’s RTX 5000 series on its website. Seasonic listed the unreleased GPUs on its Wattage Calculator webpage, mentioning at least four new AMD and five new Nvidia models, although they seem to be removed at the time of writing this article.
As per a report, Seasonic’s website referenced high-end models of AMD’s forthcoming Radeon RX 7000 series, including the RX 7990 XTX, RX 7950 XTX, and RX 7950 XT. This is the first time these specific models have been spotted anywhere online, adding to the anticipation surrounding AMD’s next-gen GPUs. However, it’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time AMD has introduced a high-end refresh. Previously, it launched the “XX50” models as part of the RDNA 2 refresh, which included the 6950 XT, 6750 XT, and 6650 XT.
If these listings are true, it means that AMD is potentially gearing up to compete aggressively in the high-performance GPU market, offering significant improvements in performance and efficiency. Expect the AMD Radeon RX 7000 RDNA 3 GPU refresh to come with higher clock speeds, power ratings, and faster memory.
Similarly, the website had listed Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5000 series, indicating that these GPUs will feature substantial power demands. The leaked information includes various models, from the top-tier RTX 5090, all the way to the RTX 5050, with their respective Thermal Design Powers (TDPs) specified.
If the data is accurate, the most significant increase in TDP is expected with the 5060 GPU, which might address the performance and price gap issues seen between the RTX 4070 and 4060. Additionally, the RTX 5060 is anticipated to return to a 12GB VRAM standard. The increase in TDP also means that these new GPUs will likely require robust power supplies.
The early appearance of these unreleased GPUs on Seasonic’s website suggests that both AMD and Nvidia are on the brink of launching their next-gen graphics cards. From what we have heard, Nvidia is expected to start rolling out its Blackwell architecture consumer graphics cards in October, beginning with the high-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 models.
The enthusiast RTX 5070 is anticipated to follow in January 2025, with the mainstream RTX 5060 expected to launch in Q3 or Q4 of the same year. On the other hand, Team Red could launch its RDNA 3 refresh in January during CES 2025.

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.
