Arrr! AMD be sailin' a treacherous sea this year, with its CPUs makin' more waves than its scallywag graphics cards! Aye, ‘twas a jolly mix o’ fortune, but the processors be the true treasure, while the GPUs be just barnacle-covered chests!

Avast ye landlubbers! Gather 'round as I regale ye with the tale of AMD's voyage through the tempestuous seas of 2024! This year, Team Red be sailin' a mild sea, with nary a wave in the GPU waters—save for a lone bright star, the RX 7900 GRE, which shone like gold doubloons in a treasure chest!

But hark! The Ryzen 9000 CPUs set sail but met a stormy fate; launched late and deemed a flop by many a scallywag! Aye, the gaming performance be akin to a soggy biscuit—only a meager 5% boost instead of the promised 10%! Yet, as the winds shifted, the Ryzen 9800X3D arrived like a trusty cannon, making gamers cheer with its overclockin’ prowess!

Alas, the GPU side of the ship was a bit of a disappointment, with naught but whispers of new entries. The poor RX 7600 XT couldn't hold a candle to its Nvidia rival. Besides, where be the promised RDNA 4? A phantom of the seas, it seems!

In the end, AMD managed to navigate through the storm and even captured the data center seas from Intel! So, while 2024 had its fair share of squalls, Team Red still sailed on, eyes set on brighter horizons ahead! Yarrr!
