This is really just AMD saying they've already accomplished this in the lab. 2025 is just around the corner and any architecture targeted for release at that time is already nearing the final stages of development.

The target sounds like world-changing engineering brilliance, but it looks more like business as usual in practice. AMD recently declared victory on a similar one in the 25x20 project, where they claimed 31.7x efficiency improvement over 6 years.

Yeah, but this is double that pace, so they have something up their sleeves. Could just be that most AM5 CPUs have GPUs which can do MI/AI, of course... That would be the quickest way to achieve their goal.

They are already in development, but definitely not in the final stages.

ID: heq3c8h

I consider the development (design and POC) phase as separate from the bring-up stage which is sometimes even longer than the development phase.

AMD is signaling that they have something up their sleeves that will be available in two to three years.

and you can always use the same power and do more work. Guessing its a combination of new manufacturing processes, packaging and architecture. It sounds fancy but that's multiple years of products and a couple or more node jumps.

Its already been worked on for years.
Its why a 128bit gpu will perform like todays 6900xt next year.
lower wattage, high performance.

128bit gpu

You mean the memory interface?

a 128bit gpu will perform like todays 6900xt next year.

Keep dreaming. It'll take a miracle for a 128-bit GPU to beat 6700XT next year because they've already introduced Infinity$.

Don't you all get tired of being wrong with comments like these?

You think the first generation implementation of a piece of tech is perfect?

The effective bandwidth of the 6700XT isn't fully leveraged in RDNA 2.

Navi 3X is a overhauling workgroups again for the express purpose of better optimizing access to the cache. Less cache misses means less bandwidth demand.

The design doesn't start with the bus, it ends with it. If they are tightening it down to 128bit, it's because they can.

This especially as they have to compete on mobile with a monolithic die anyways

So AVX-512 with VNNI?

5 : Anonymous2021/09/29 20:26 ID: herm769

Ooooo I can't wait for them to drastically change the way they benchmark that efficiency number like they did with apu efficiency a while back

The only thing I want AMD to do right now, and the only thing I'm interested in seeing them do presently, is to begin manufacturing their announced and "shipping" *cough* GPU products so that prices and availability return to normal--eg, "normal" being status quo all the way through the 3rd calendar quarter of 2020.

ID: hes2frm

They're shipping tons of GPUs. Haven't you seen the PS5 and Xbox Series S|X stock levels continuously replenishing?

ID: hesd74f

Gonna have to wait a few years for additional fab capacity to come online and ramp up globally.

Looks like AMD needed another 25x20 nonsense...

EDIT: Considering people have no idea what 25x20 was here is one link AMD's 5X20 Analysed.

Rip gamers

The article is about CPUs, not GPUs.

ID: hervyx0

CPUs and accelerators, which are analogous to GPUs

ID: hervw0b

you're saying this like the article doesn't mention AMD instinct. Sure it's server GPU, but it's a matter of time before AMD brings AI boosted / DLSS equivalent to desktop CPUs.
