The first product was released in late 2006, rebranded as AMD Stream Processor after the merger with AMD. [ 4 ] The brand became AMD FireStream with the second generation of stream processors in 2007, based on the RV650 chip with new unified shaders and double precision support. [ 5 ]
Most (90%) of a stream processor's work is done on-chip, requiring only 1% of the global data to be stored to memory. This is where knowing the kernel temporaries and dependencies pays. Internally, a stream processor features some clever communication and management circuits but what's interesting is the Stream Register File (SRF). This is ...
GPU (based on VLIW4 architecture) instruction support: DirectX 11, Opengl 4.2, DirectCompute, Pixel Shader 5.0, Blu-ray 3D, OpenCL 1.2, AMD Stream, UVD3; Integrated PCIe 2.0 controller, and Turbo Core technology for faster CPU/GPU operation when the thermal specification permits
AMD announced the Brazos-T platform on 9 October 2012. It comprised the 4.5-watt AMD Z-Series APU (codenamed Hondo) and the A55T Fusion Controller Hub (FCH), designed for the tablet computer market. [42] [43] The Hondo APU is a redesign of the Desna APU. AMD lowered energy use by optimizing the APU and FCH for tablet computers. [44] [45]
AMD announced to investors their intention to achieve a performance-per-watt uplift of over 50% with RDNA 3 and that the upcoming architecture would be built using chiplet packaging on a 5 nm process. [2] A sneak preview for RDNA 3 was included towards the end of AMD's Ryzen 7000 unveiling event on August 29, 2022.
Die shot of the RX 5500 XT's RDNA GPU. The architecture features a new processor design, although the first details released at AMD's Computex keynote hints at aspects from the previous Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture being present for backwards compatibility purposes, which is especially important for its use (in the form of RDNA 2) in the major ninth generation game consoles (the Xbox ...
Zen 4 is the name for a CPU microarchitecture designed by AMD, released on September 27, 2022. [4] [5] [6] It is the successor to Zen 3 and uses TSMC's N6 process for I/O dies, N5 process for CCDs, and N4 process for APUs. [7]
