We are very happy to be able to share a machine-readable specification for our #GPU architectures

Covers AMD #RDNA 1/2/3 & MI100/200/300

XML files & schema documentation on #GPUOpen

We've also released an API alongside the spec:

The IsaDecoder API parses the XML spec files to help you get started quickly

This C++ API easily decodes any instruction/shader in binary/text format

De vooruitgang in ray tracing-technologie met rdna 4 https://www.trendingtech.news/trending-news/2024/07/23829/de-vooruitgang-in-ray-tracing-technologie-met-rdna-4 #RDNA 4 #ray tracing #AMD #GPU technologie #gaming hardware #Trending #News #Nieuws

After seeing confirmation of #AMD abysmal market performance on graphics, I believe that RDNA5 should focus on performance per watt.

If they can't compete in value, then they should close #Radeon and focus on iGPU and embedded.

The next #Xbox and #PlayStation6, #SteamDeck and whatever follows would be excellent contracts to have.

#AMD unwraps #Ryzen #AI 300 series ‘#StrixPoint’ processors — 50 TOPS of AI performance, #Zen5c density cores come to #Ryzen9 for the first time
Flagship Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 has 12 cores and 24 threads that operate at a base of 2.0 GHz and a peak of 5.1 GHz. However, as you can see in the block diagram and listed in a branding slide, the chip has four standard #Zen5 cores and eight density-optimized Zen 5c cores on a single monolithic die with #RDNA 3.5 #GPU and #NPU cores.

#AMD Posts #Linux #Graphics Driver Patches For New IP Blocks - Presumably For #RDNA4 #GPU — could #RX8000-series #graphicscards actually arrive in 2024?
The latest patches enable operation of several critical components: ATHUB has been upgraded to version 4.1, LSDMA to version 7.0, IH to version 7.0, and HDP also to version 7.0. Each of these IP blocks is crucial for operation of a graphics processor (in this case, presumably an #RDNA 4-based family).
