AMD has participated for the first time in the Taipei’s annual computer expo, Computex, and it seems like it is all set to compete with its rivals Nvidia and Intel with the new chip series it is going to launch. The AMD CEO Lisa Su addressed the conference at the event on Sunday evening, and in her keynote, she revealed the latest Navi Radeon GPU range that the company is going to launch soon.
The next-gen graphics architecture, the RX 5000 series, also known as RDNA, is suitable for PCs, consoles and cloud. It will render the all-new 7nm RDNA architecture and is faster than its previous GCN architecture, providing up to 1.25x performance per clock and 1.5x performance per watt.
The new architecture has got a multi-level cache hierarchy as well as a new streamlined graphics pipeline. This way, AMD has claimed that the GPU will render reduced latency, higher bandwidth and lower power consumption. It features a new computing unit, GDDR6 memory and support for PCI-E 4.0, which will result in better efficiency.
During the keynote, the company tested the performance of the RX 5700, by making it compete with the Nvidia’s RTX 2070 through a live-streamed demo. And, as expected, the demo concluded the performance of RX 5700 was better than the RTX card. The demo showcased a 10% better performance advantage of the AMD card over the Nvidia card. Though the company did not reveal on which AMD card it used to compete with the RTX card.
AMD did not reveal any additional details on the other features of the GPU architecture as well as its pricing but has stated that it will be launching the architecture in the coming month of July. AMD revealed that it will be discussing about the architecture in detail in the E3 stream on June 10.
Performance wise we can expect much more from this GPU architecture, as the giant game producers Sony has also opted for the same to integrate it into its next-gen PlayStation.
