Right now, AMD is working on a new flagship graphics card currently believed to either be codenamed Greenland or Vega 10. This new GPU will be taking over from the Fury at some point so any news surrounding it is quite exciting and this last week, we learned some interesting things about the card's specification.
The team over at 3DCenter noticed that according to the LinkedIn profile of Yu Zheng, a research and development manager at AMD, the company is currently working on its new flagship GPU, which will have a full capacity of 4096 Stream Processors.
The FuryX also has 4096 Stream Processors, but the upgrade to 14nm FinFET coupled with the improvements of the Graphics Core Next 4.0 architecture, we should see a boost in performance per stream processor. That particular piece of information is actually according to AMD's official slides on GCN 4.0 (via: Videocardz), which should also improve shader efficiency.
The Greenland/Vega project is also tied to AMD's SoC V15 architecture, which could suggest that some future AMD APUs could feature similar graphics technology.
KitGuru Says: It is always exciting to hear more about future flagship graphics cards. Are any of you currently holding out for new GPUs from AMD or Nvidia?
Gah this is terrible. It’s like waiting for xmas and shaking the box to try and understand what might be inside! what fantastic things could it be?
I want the power NOW! I have money, come take it! Hurry up NV and AMD. My 7870 is found in cracker jack boxes now I think *also known as consoles*.
Pretty sure I’ll go NV this time around, but we’ll see what they both offer. Should have their new products out at the same time, so the consumer might really win this generation! Nobody should be buying a card right now unless they get a great deal or are stinking filthy rich. Rich I tell you, RICH!!!
I wish I was rich.
I would upgrade every year to best in class parts.
I would brag to my friends like this–
“I have 32 cpu processor’s and I am hardly using 1 of them!”
“I think they have to cut down 4 miles of rain-forest each month to power my 8 titan cards!
“I could turn my PC off when not using it, but then I’d have to use my furnace again!”
“you only have a single 980GTX? Dude are you even able to run angry birds on that?”
“I can run games at 8000×8000 resolution and get 35fps, want to go on a date?”
“when my GPU’s flex their arms, they have smaller GPU’s on their arms also flexing!”
“my PC is so boss, that even my floppy drive is liquid cooled!”
Yeah, that’d be sweet…
