On September 14, 2020, AMD hinted at the physical design of its RX 6000 series through a tweet shared on social messaging service Twitter.At the same time, it launched a virtual island inside the video game Fortnite containing a large-scale rendition of the RX 6000 hardware design, which players could freely explore using the game's Creative mode.
RX Vega, Radeon VII Radeon RX 5000 Radeon RX 6000 Radeon RX 7000 AMD support Kind 2D 3D Instruction set architecture: Not publicly known TeraScale instruction set GCN instruction set: RDNA instruction set: Microarchitecture: TeraScale 1 (VLIW) TeraScale 2 (VLIW5) TeraScale 2 (VLIW5) up to 68xx TeraScale 3 (VLIW4) in 69xx [18] [19] GCN 1st gen ...
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 ...
In 2008, AMD released the low-level programming specifications for its GPUs, and works with the X.Org Foundation to develop drivers for AMD graphics cards. [274] [275] Extensions for software parallelism (xSP), aimed at speeding up programs to enable multi-threaded and multi-core processing, announced in Technology Analyst Day 2007.
Previous GPU architectures implemented fixed-pipelines, i.e. there were distinct shader processors for each type of shader.TeraScale leverages many flexible shader processors which can be scheduled to process a variety of shader types, thereby significantly increasing GPU throughput (dependent on application instruction mix as noted below).
Components of a GPU. A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit initially designed for digital image processing and to accelerate computer graphics, being present either as a discrete video card or embedded on motherboards, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.
AMD has confirmed that the HD 6700 cards use the Juniper XT and Juniper Pro cores from the HD 5700 series, and therefore they are not formally Northern Islands GPUs. Thus 6770 and 6750 are essentially the 5770 and 5750 respectively, with the label being the main difference. There are a few enhancements to the 5700 series, including:
13.7×10 12: Radeon RX Vega 64 in 2017; 15.0×10 12: Nvidia Titan V in 2017; 80×10 12: IBM Watson [5] 170×10 12: Nvidia DGX-1 The initial Pascal based DGX-1 delivered 170 teraflops of half precision processing.
