The author discusses their hopes for PC gaming hardware in 2025, focusing on advancements in SSD technology and the impact of AI on gaming.

I'm not usually one for all this New Year malarkey—time ticks over at the same rate as it ever did, and I'm no big believer in astrology, so what does the calendar date matter? But even I can't help getting a little excited at what 2025 might offer us PC gamers.featuring the latest AMD and Intel mobile processors.

But where can we go next? Well, obviously we're all hoping that DLSS 4 will give us frame generation and upscaling improvements, but it'll be cool if it gives us something new, too.", which an AIB manufacturer recently mentioned in seeming relation to next-gen Nvidia GPUs. If AI can do for rendering what it's done for upscaling and frame gen, we might be in for a treat.

"Strix Point" is the codename for AMD's latest AI 300-series processors, which we're expecting to see in some handhelds and laptops come 2025 for better multi-core performance. Of course, you need room around the back for all those connections and cables, and cut-outs for them, too. That means custom design cases are required, which is one thing that has prevented these motherboards from becoming mainstream too soon. Well, that and the fact that there's only a small handful of them out there.

But less incentive isn't no incentive. Having memory lying flat could allow for SSD-style top-mounted cooling, which would allow clocks to be pushed further. More importantly, though, in my opinion—and perhaps most naively—it looks rather nice, and would certainly match a hidden connector motherboard. It might be a fool's hope, but it's a hope I'm clinging to for 2025.In the land of monitors, 2024 was undoubtedly the year of the OLED panel.

I know such manufacturing changes can't be embarked upon on a whim, but I reckon there'd be enough demand there for them for it to be worthwhile. And given 2024 saw a decided push into the standalone OLED monitor market , 2025 might be the time for this to occur. I sure hope so.The main ARM-based chips already out in the wild are Qualcomm's Snapdragon X processors, which run Windows on ARM surprisingly well and offer stellar battery life.
