AMD took a strong position in the graphics card market when at the end of 2013 they released the Radeon R9 290X with the graphics circuit “Hawaii” under the hood. The model was at this time the fastest graphics card with a single graphics processor, but at the same time it could not assert itself…

AMD’s graphics card for several years now is basically based on the architecture Graphics Core Next (GCN), which the company has iterated on over the years. The latest are called GCN 4.0 (Polaris) and GCN 5.0 (Vega) with which AMD has improved and optimized the almost eight-year-old design. The difference in performance between different graphics…

Next week, the technology fair Computex will be launched and there AMD and partners are expected to lift the lid on motherboards and related products for the upcoming processor family Ryzen 3000.

Intel’s current processors based on the Skylake architecture use integrated graphics circuits based on the Gen9 graphics architecture. The idea was that Cannon Lake would introduce Gen10 on 10 nanometer manufacturing technology, but due to manufacturing problems on the node, Intel jumped directly to the Gen11 graphics architecture. Gen11 is launched in conjunction with Ice…

In addition to the new processor series Ryzen 3000, AMD announces more details about the next graphics family called Navi. The details around this have largely been shrouded in obscurity and the question marks over whether the architecture is yet another development of Graphics Core Next (GCN) have been many. Now AMD confirms that this…

There was a long line of big news at this year’s edition of Computex. In addition to news on the processor side, AMD talked about the next generation of graphics cards with the new game-oriented architecture Radeon DNA (RDNA), which will be used in the Radeon RX 5000 series. On stage, CEO Lisa Su announced…

Earlier this year, AMD launched the Radeon VII graphics card as the first card on 7-nanometer technology, but which was still based on the Vega architecture. The next step in the development is spelled Navi and launched sharply today on the seventh day of the seventh month. Coincidence? Really not. In SweClocker’s test lab are…
