Information technology has been a calendar month since AMD introduced their RDNA compages based Navi GPUs and at that place are already rumors about the second generation RDNA which would be powering AMD'south high-end GPU products (Radeon RX Series) in the coming years.

AMD Navi 23 Rumored To Feature 2nd Generation RDNA Architecture, Ray Tracing - Internally Known as The 'NVIDIA Killer'

The latest rumor on loftier-stop Navi GPUs comes from RedGamingTech who reports that AMD has been working on at to the lowest degree two new Navi GPUs. These new GPUs are known every bit the Navi 21 and the Navi 23. The source reports that while there is little data bachelor on these GPUs, there are some details that were mentioned past their source.

It should as well exist pointed out that this specific news comes out a few days afterward AMD's CEO confirmed during an investors call that they are indeed working on high-finish, Navi based Radeon RX graphics cards. First and foremost, these GPUs are going to be introduced in the mid of 2020. These put them in the same timeframe when AMD will be introducing their second generation RDNA architecture, built upon the 7nm+ process node. The Navi 21 and Navi 23 equally such are likely to exist based on the new RDNA compages which would further enhance the GPU design we saw on the Radeon RX 5700 series cards.

The GPU which most would be looking forward to is Navi 23 which is said to power AMD's side by side-gen enthusiast and high-end Radeon RX series graphics cards. The source points out that the Navi 23 GPU is internally existence referred to as the 'NVIDIA Killer'. We have seen previous attempts of AMD such as the Radeon R9 Fury X, Radeon RX Vega and Radeon VII failing to match up to NVIDIA's high-end cards or even similar priced offerings.

However, this report shows that with Navi based high-terminate GPUs, AMD is more than confident and taking the fight to NVIDIA with their own flagship solutions. Information technology will be interesting if these options compete against the current male monarch of the hill, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti or whatever NVIDIA has to offer in 2020 (GeForce xxx Serial?).

Other things that are talked virtually is the support for Ray Tracing which is definitely something that AMD is working on. With their next-gen RDNA compages, AMD plans to have hardware-level integration on their GPUs to back up real-time ray tracing in games. This would put them on par with NVIDIA's RTX technology which implemented ray-tracing support through hardware-level integration last twelvemonth with their GeForce RTX twenty series cards.

It should too exist pointed out that high-terminate Navi GPUs might retain Loftier-Bandwidth memory design like the current flagship. While AMD is featuring GDDR6 retentiveness on their mainstream RDNA based cards, information technology is probable that the company would go alee with the newer HBM2E VRAM.

The HBM2E DRAM comes in eight-Hullo stack configuration and utilizes sixteen Gb retention dies, stacked together and clocked at 3.2 Gbps. This would result in a full bandwidth of 410 GB/s on a unmarried and 920 GB/s with two HBM2E stacks which is but insane. To top it all, the DRAM has a 1024-fleck wide motorcoach interface which is the same as current HBM2 DRAM. Samsung says that their HBM2E solution, when stacked in 4-style configuration, can offer up to 64 GB memory at i.64 TB/southward of bandwidth. Such products would only be suitable for servers/HPC workloads merely a high-end graphics product for enthusiasts tin characteristic upwards to 32 GB memory with only two stacks which is twice equally much retentivity every bit the Radeon VII.

AMD currently offers the Radeon RX 5700 series at $349 and $399 toll points, making them very adept competitors against NVIDIA's RTX SUPER lineup. With a strong showing on the first Radeon RX Navi cards, AMD may indeed exist aiming for the performance crown with their upcoming loftier-end cards.

What kind of performance do you wait from 7nm high-end Navi graphics cards?
