It was not expected, but at the same time AMD did not disappoint. New BIG Navi graphics cards with properties RDNA 2 They will be arriving this year and will be introduced at a very important event, but on the other hand we already have a very close idea of what to expect.
A new increase in CPI, lower usage and greater quantity
Companies that are more demanding for each watt will give in the case of AMD a larger jump like the one thought by RDNA 1 against GCN, that is, a 50% better Navigate between this generation of RX 5000 against new GPUs with RDNA 2.
Thus, it means that in the same application we will have more performance growth, especially 100% in comparison to GCN.
Best of all, the new portable GPU for laptops will also come with this new technology and will obviously rival NVIDIA with its SUPER range.
In this case we will have to wait for early 2021 in this market segment, because desktop versions will be introduced first.
One of the more surprising details is that while AMD is talking about a more developed area of this design and at the same time Zen 3, only 7 nm is mentioned on the slides, which doesn't show up as 7 nm + or mark as progress. Something is a little disappointing as the EUV technology is expected in both cases.
Ray Tracing is certified on all platforms, including consoles
RDNA 2 in addition to an astonishing increase in functionality will bring about the next development.
Starting with support through the standard Ray Tracing API and at the same time it will also support VRS, so it will go up to NVIDIA in both aspects, even though they haven't revealed any changes to architecture or how the desoder units will add BVH.
These features will also have connections to future generations. Xbox Series X and PS5, so we already have official confirmation about it.
AMD says its Ray Tracing technology works with DXR 1.1, a feature used by all chips under the facility and that it will be the first step to integrate the terms into the new technology at the company.
This will not only be done with RT, but AMD designs GPU structures for a common purpose, which is divided into two very specific sections: RDNA and CDNA, the first is computer-focused and the second is computer-focused.
In addition, AMD is already looking forward to RDNA 3, which will be 3 times more powerful than the original build and will reach its highest level, considering the process of converting TSMC lithographic elements to 5 nm, where any so is 2022
New heatsink with double fan
Although operating efficiency increases by 50% at the same watts, AMD will have to raise usage charges if it wants to make a meaningful difference with NVIDIA. This indicates that blower heatsinks are not sufficient to maintain bay temperatures.
So, the company pointed to the first drawing as a tire of what we can expect with its new graphics cards.
As you can see and almost identical to intuit, the design is very similar to what NVIDIA did with Turing, so it's highly likely that high temperatures will end up being delayed for him, something the RX 5700 never got.
