AMD Radeon Vega GPU Architecture

Becky · Jan 5, 2017

Tech Power Up have published a new article looking at AMD's Radeon Vega GPU architecture - here's a snippet:

"Vega" isn't a fancy name for the 5th generation Graphics CoreNext architecture, a new iteration of AMD's number-crunching machinery inside the GPU, but an entirely new GPU design. The GPUs will still employ GCN compute units, but will augment them with several new components never before featured on AMD GPUs, which will improve the chip's efficiency to cope with complex graphics and general processing workloads.

The idea behind "Vega" is that conventional approaches to making GPUs, so AMD believes, will not be able to cope with emerging workloads. The industry has already made a great leap from years of stagnating at 1080p to 2K and 4K resolutions that demand a proportionate increase in GPU performance. What's more, the workload itself requires optimization at the silicon level, without AMD having to optimize them at the software level through regular driver updates. This means giving the GPU the ability to learn the way a 3D app behaves to have it optimize itself to the app, which isn't easy as the GPU needs a second set of lightning fast memory that works in tandem with the video memory itself.
