The AMD processor has a solid roadmap in recent years, and the advancing speed is very fast. The graphics card is dwarfed by it. Especially with the departure of Raja Koduri, the AMD graphics card plan should also be readjusted.
ChipHell Forum netizens wjm147196 exposed the future part of the AMD graphics card planning, involving three lines, a lot of fierce material, but the authenticity is not easy to say, Everyone and see it.
Chronologically, There will be a 'Polaris 30' in the fourth quarter of this year.
This is the first time I heard of this name. It will be an upgraded version of Polaris 10 (RX 470/480), Polaris 20 (RX 570/580). Production process upgrade from 14nm to 12nm, performance can be increased by 15% A deep mining version of the 'Polaris' architecture may be named RX 670/680.
AMD had previously demonstrated the world's first 7nm GPU graphics card at the Taipei Computer Show, but previously said that the 7nm Vega 20 core will only be used in the professional card market. The first product is the Radeon Pro Vega 20, but according to the latest statement, AMD is still ready to bring the 7nm Vega to gamers. The time is in the first quarter of this year.
The specifications are similar to the previous rumors. 64 core computing units, 4096 stream processors, 4096-bit HBM2 memory, but only 16GB , Cut it in half compared to a professional card.
But even so, due to the high cost of HBM2 memory, This kind of card is sold on the consumer market and it is losing money. , Want to come to AMD or want to rely on it to boost the high-end image, to avoid the absence of too long.
What is more worth looking forward to is The next generation of new architecture Navi, 7nm process, but to be patient, etc., from the fourth quarter of next year to the first quarter of next year, and the first out is the mid-range card, behind the high-end version of HBM2 memory.
It can be said that AMD graphics cards want to achieve a qualitative leap, 7nm Navi is the real ultimate weapon, of course, the premise is that old Huang do not run too fast.
