Seize AI lifesaving straw: AMD announced that it will launch 12nm CPU and 7nm GPU

With the launch of the Ryzen processor and Vega graphics chip, AMD will be in high profile in 2017. Today, the company announces the introduction of more faster processors and more powerful graphics chips by 2018, including acceleration (APUs) or desktop chips with Ryzen processors and Radeon Vega graphics chips, and plans to launch the full line of Ryzen Mobile APUs and second-generation Ryzen desktop CPUs in April. Mainly against its rival Intel, which is the world's largest chip maker.

AMD chips will be based on a 12-nanometer manufacturing process in which the distance between the circuits is only 1.2 billionths of a meter.The chip giant Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Sunnyvale, The news and the pressure on Intel at the CES show in Vegas show that AMD is rapidly expanding its Zen computing architecture by 52% over the previous generation and shows that the company Getting more from the Vega graphics architecture, Vega is competing with NVIDIA's graphics processing unit (GPU).

On the graphics front, AMD announced the expansion of the Vega family lineup with Radeon Vega Mobile, which will be the first 7-nanometer product to be developed on a Radeon 'Vega' GPU specifically for machine learning applications. Lisa Su, AMD President and CEO In a statement, we said: 'We have successfully achieved the ambitious goal set in 2017 and re-established AMD as a leader in HPC with 10 different product lines. We are working hard to maintain this in 2018 As we have all used the latest CPUs and GPUs for the strongest product portfolio in the past decade, which will bring more functionality and higher performance to a wide range of markets. '

Mark Papermaster, chief technology officer at AMD, said at a news conference that the Zen cores currently used on Ryzen desktops and mobile processors are being manufactured in 14-nm and 12-nm processes, 12-nm samples Now shipping, he said Zen 2 has been designed and will improve Zen's design in several dimensions, and AMD is improving its performance on schedule and is expected to be completed by 2020.

On the graphics side, AMD hopes to expand its Vega products to ultra-thin notebooks via the Radeon Vega Mobile GPU in 2018. Meanwhile, Vega's next-generation graphics architecture Navi will be manufactured in a 7-nanometer process, while AMD's next-generation graphics The architecture is also expected to begin production at 7nm, and AMD is also developing a production-grade machine learning software environment, the Radeon Open eCosystem Compute Platform (RocM) 1.7, which in most cases fully supports commonly used machine learning frameworks.

Speaking at the briefing, Jim Anderson, head of AMD's Computing and Graphics Business unit, said the desktop Ryzen APU combines the Zen core with the premium Vega GPU, and AMD's second-generation 12-nanometer Ryzen desktop CPU will be available in April AMD is also developing Ryzen professional mobile processors with Radeon Vega graphics for the business, enterprise and public sector markets that will be used in business laptops and thin business notebooks.

AMD said AMD mobile chips deliver 22% better performance and 13.5 hours longer battery life than the Intel i7-7500U, and game developer Ubisoft announced that Far Cry 5 will support Radeon RX Vega specific features such as Rapid Packed Math and Radeon FreeSync 2. AMD claims that Radeon RX Vega users will be able to run Far Cry 5 in extreme realism with stunning frame rates and sleek Image quality.
