RDNA4 is out in less than 6 months! And we've got info on RDNA5 already: DGF: A Dense, Hardware-Friendly Geometry Format for Lossily Compressing Meshlets with Arbitrary Topologies (hardware compressed mesh format that's raytracing friendly, already praised by lead designer of Nanite) "the...

Known: This year GDDR7 Raytracing Traversal (similar performance to Intel/Nvidia) Powerdraw is fixed, very high clockspeeds Leaked?(by you know who, plus some dumb AMD engineer on a youtube comment) Announcement in H1, maybe Computex Big chip is in this time, likely stacked SRAM and such Big...

Seems like everyone is asleep I guess. shortcut link to RDNA laptop products (bulk of presentation) AMD FSR: Great options on FSR there. Just let people choose what they want. Backports back to 500 series and Vega. Also works on 1060. Sweet ;) my 1070 can live on. I guess technically it...

TIL that on a Tahiti board with 6 instead of the usual 3 GiByte of VRAM, the AMD OpenCL driver seems to think 3 GiByte should suffice for everyone. It's CL_DEVICE_GLOBAL_MEMORY is set to 3072 MiByte, leaving half of the memory effectively useless. Is there any known workaround, an environment...

FY21 guidance doesn't seem that great to me. Q1 looks good and all, but where is the revenue growth in H2? I suppose that they are very supply constrained, I would expect better otherwise considering their current x86 CPU leadership and other things...

So RDNA 2 has no chiplets. What about RDNA 3? If it's based on chiplets, will there be Infinity Cache? I've been theorising chiplets for a very long time. I don't want to be disappointed this time!

I thought we'd have a dedicated thread for the details and event. Worst case, if it doesn't provide details, it can be folded back into the existing Navi Speculation thread. https://www.amd.com/en/events/gaming-2020 Where Gaming Begins: Ep. 2 - AMD Radeon™ AMD Radeon™ RX 6000 Series graphics...

7nm APUs from AMD announced From Anantech: Top SKU: 8 CPU cores , 1.8/4.2GHz base/turbo clock @ 15W TDP, faster graphics as well (despite fewer CUs) Salvage SKUs down to 4 CPU cores with 2.7/3.7GHZ base/Turbo. Major power savings coming from 7nm, and equally important, support for LPDDR4X...

There's some reemerging rumor about Zen3 being SMT4, at least for servers.

When is the NDA ending?

Is there any information on the special function units of Navi? I'm curious which functions are implemented. Is it merely a return of the SFUs from the old VLIW5, seems a bit silly if so considering those were hardly used and replaced with general macros. Any chance of the new SFUs being useful...

"Radeon VII" Not Vega 2, it's Radeon 7. 7nm. 60CUs 16GB HBM2 - 1TB/s (quad-stack) Compared to Vega 64: +35% on BF5 DX12 +25% on Fortnite +42% on Strange Brigade Vulkan So it's a GTX 1080 Ti / RTX 2080 competitor.

The 2019 edition of the AMD execution thread.

Do we have any actual quotes on the HBM-price including packaging? I mean sure, it's more expensive than GDDR5, that's for sure, but apparently GDDR6 isn't that cheap either: https://www.3dcenter.org/news/hardware-und-nachrichten-links-des-jahresausklangs-2018 They're quoting 70% higher price...

Since we're already in the quarter where AMD is supposedly on schedule to announce the EPYC CPUs with the new 7nm Zen 2, I thought we'd have a thread to discuss what will/could be the next-gen CCX, next-gen "Zeppelin", next-gen APU, etc. AMD has been relatively tight-lipped about the next...

Looks like an overclocked 480, I'd expect faster memory at least given how Nvidia will be re-releasing the 1060 with faster memory.

AMD has just released a new Hotfix with the following: - Improved Shader Cache storage limit. This will allow the Shader Cache feature to store more shaders for extremely demanding games that may have previously hit the old storage cap. Anybody knows which game was affected by this (I'm...

According to videocardz and fudzilla, Vega 10 will do 12 TFLOPs FP32 and 24 TFLOPs FP16, with a 512GB/s memory bandwidth. This means: - 64 CUs at 1.5 GHz - 2x FP16 rate per ALU - 2 stacks of 2GT/s HBM2 - 225W TDP - H1 2017 (probably Q2..) They also claim it comes with 16GB of HBM2. This...

Hi guys, I'll get right to the point. I'm wondering if you can have compute and graphics wavefronts in execution at the same time on different SIMDs within a CU. This diagram from anand really threw me off because I thought the waves/warps were the columns. So I thought you had one wave...

So now Nvidia has release the 3G 1060...this is in addition to the full Pascal in a laptop form(gasps!). Nvidia has launched the full range of next gen nm gaming GPU...whereas AMD is struggling with Polaris. What gives? I was expecting the move to 14/16nm is a form of reset. A new dawn, a new...

In this presentation I finally saw an announced laptop carrying a Polaris chip: Judging by the picture, it's the next generation of the HP Omen, a relatively high-end gaming laptop (as in quite expensive because of premium looks and materials, not very high performance) which currently has a...

AMD has presented a GPU roadmap up to 2020 at the PC Cluster Consortium (from news.mynavi.jp). According to WCCFTech, the two-year cycle is specifically regarding APUs, and discrete GPUs will be updated more frequently. The HPC APU scheduled for 2017 may have a TDP of up to 200-300 W...

So I've been bothered by the meanings of "Scalability" and "Nexgen Memory" in this slide associated with Navi: And I've just realised that this could be the HBM design with GPU logic, e.g. ROPs, in the base of each stack of HBM memory, as part of the logic die. This concept came up a while...
