AMD Calls GPU Not Just About Speed, But...

JAKARTA - When creating PC gaming or graphic workstation, according to AMD, speed is not the only goal so that products can be in demand by the public, but there must be an increase in power.

Over the past few years, power strength has been in the spotlight on a computer with CPUs and GPUs being used more to play modern fast and graphic-rich games. Where when photos and photo sizes increase, the editing process will also burden the system.

AMD competitor, Nvidia often creates GPUs with larger power needs. However, AMD stated that speed does not have to sacrifice an efficiency.

Currently, the company uses RDNA-2 which displays an increase in performance per watt, which is 50 percent better than the previous architecture, GCN.

Of course, this capability is important for a gaming laptop that has limited battery life and cooling capacity that does not work properly.

According to AMD, computers with higher power needs can weigh on cooling, with additional costs for manufacturing, using more energy which will increase electricity costs and computers are also more noisy because they rely on several high-speed fans.

It is claimed that the RNDA 2 AMD can solve the problem and the RDNA 3 also offers further efficiency. The next-generation chip will be the first AMD chip made with a 5nm process. As chip density increases, performance and efficiency will automatically do the same.

The next generation of RDNA 3 AMD GPU is expected to provide another breakthrough in performance per watt, an increase of 50 percent compared to RDNA 2. Of course this is good news. Thus quoted from Digital Trends, Wednesday, September 21.
