AMD has presented a bunch of updates about the company’s products and strategy during this year’s IFA fair. The company has told why they don’t invest in graphics cards in the top segment and lifted the lid on the Z2 Extreme.
Now the manufacturer presents the next step for the company’s graphics circuits – UDNA. After the GCN architecture, AMD chose to split the graphics architecture development into RDNA for the consumer market and CDNA with a focus on data centers. UDNA now unites these two under an umbrella similar to Nvidia’s CUDA, which has proven to be a recipe for success, to say the least.
Like Nvidia, AMD also likes money.
In an interview with Tom’s Hardware says AMD CEO Jack Hyunh that the manufacturer originally split development to be able to carry out more small-scale optimizations for the data center and consumer products, respectively.
However, he believes that when they now intend to work on a larger scale with a far-reaching strategy, it is better for both the manufacturer and developer to work towards a unified architecture.
Exactly when the project sees the light of day, however, Jack Hyunh does not want to share details about. According to him, AMD is currently working approximately three generations ahead with planning and execution. The overall strategy aims to really take up the fight against Nvidia in the very lucrative data center market. With a unified strategy, it also means in theory that the technological advances made for the large data center circuits can be more easily implemented in consumer products.
The editors of course hope that AMD with RDNA’s successor will once again take up the fight with the green team in the performance peak of consumer products as competition benefits everyone.
