Video Core Next is AMD's successor to both the Unified Video Decoder and Video Coding Engine designs, [1] which are hardware accelerators for video decoding and encoding, respectively. It can be used to decode, encode and transcode ("sync") video streams, for example, a DVD or Blu-ray Disc to a format appropriate to, for example, a smartphone .
ROCm [3] is an Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) software stack for graphics processing unit (GPU) programming. ROCm spans several domains: general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU), high performance computing (HPC), heterogeneous computing.
The headers in the table listed below describe the following: Model – The marketing name for the GPU assigned by AMD/ATI.Note that ATI trademarks have been replaced by AMD trademarks starting with the Radeon HD 6000 series for desktop and AMD FirePro series for professional graphics.
Sempron and Athlon models exclude integrated graphics; Select models support Hybrid Graphics technology to assist a Radeon HD 7350, 7450, 7470, 7550, 7570, 7670 discrete graphics card. [30] [31] However, it has been found that this does not always improve 3D accelerated graphics performance. [32] [33]
For example, in July 2014, AMD published a set of 83 patches to be merged into Linux kernel mainline 3.17 for supporting their Graphics Core Next-based Radeon graphics cards. The so-called HSA kernel driver resides in the directory /drivers/gpu/hsa , while the DRM graphics device drivers reside in /drivers/gpu/drm [ 21 ] and augment the already ...
The Radeon HD 8000 series is a family of computer GPUs developed by AMD. AMD was initially rumored to release the family in the second quarter of 2013, [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] with the cards manufactured on a 28 nm process and making use of the improved Graphics Core Next architecture. [ 12 ]
The Radeon HD 7000 series, codenamed "Southern Islands", is a family of GPUs developed by AMD, [9] and manufactured on TSMC's 28 nm process. [ 10 ] The primary competitor of Southern Islands was Nvidia 's GeForce 600 series (also manufactured at TSMC), which shipped during Q1 2012, largely due to the immaturity of the 28 nm process.
AMD stated the possibility of supporting 4 Radeon HD 3870 X2 cards, allowing 8 GPUs to be used on several motherboards, including the MSI K9A2 Platinum and Intel D5400XS, because these motherboards have sufficient spaces between PCI-E slots for dual-slot cooler video cards, presumably as a combination of two separate hardware CrossFire setups ...
