The price of graphics cards began to gradually return to calm. For AMD and NVIDIA, after earning a fortune with the miners in 2017, they can calm down and polish new games. After all, the product power itself is king.
Media rendering
It is reported that NVIDIA's GTX 11 is scheduled to be released in the summer, and AMD's side actually has to deal with it. It is the RX 500X series.
At that time only TT one media exposure RX 500X, and after a brief period of precipitation, RX 500X actually appeared in the official website.
Although AMD listed Radeon RX 500X this product, but the page is temporarily empty, otherwise it is certainly a big leak.
Earlier broke the news, The average performance of the RX 500X is about 5 to 6% higher than that of the current RX 500. According to such clues, there are several points for upgrading. One is to use 12nm technology, the other is to further increase the frequency, and the third is to use new memory, such as G5X or even GDDR6.
However, some hardware web sites analyze that the 12nm process is the most likely. After all, the RX 500's power consumption has been exaggerated and the pressure of pulling the main frequency is relatively high. As for video memory, the price issue determines that AMD is difficult to launch and gives an improved product. It is not worthwhile to move such a large knife.
AMD's 12nm process has been determined to be launched by the second generation of Reynolds, the time is April 19. Therefore, the transition to the graphics card is also very natural thing.
Official road map
In fact, as early as the 2017 GDC conference, AMD released news that the 12nm will make a difference on the graphics card, and the missing map in their official graphics roadmap is exactly 12nm.
Data show that GF's 12nm is 16nm higher than TSMC's, claiming a 15% increase in density, and a 10% increase in performance.
