AMD 600 Series GPU Project “Zen” Detailed – Radeon on Steroids to Amp Clock Speeds & Efficiency
..we reported that AMD is working on a mainstream 7nm Navi GPU with GTX 1080 class performance to debut in 2019 at around ~$250.
AMD Assembles Zen Team of Engineers For Radeon Project “Zen”
The new team has been put in place to inject the company’s upcoming GPU products with a dose of engineering steroids so to speak and leapfrog the company’s original GPU roadmap.
We’re told that this project was put in motion under the direct orders of CEO Su, who expects results in as early as this year
if what we’ve been hearing about Radeon Project Zen is also accurate, we might see some of the new team’s results with the Radeon 600 series, much earlier than 2020.
Looks like AMD is "Zen supercharging" GPU development. They're playing catch-up with Nvidia GPUs -- just like they did successfully catching Intel CPUs with the "Zen/Ryzen" CPUs.
The faster/power-efficient/cheaper Zen GPUs are at least many months away -- but, maybe a lot sooner than I was planning.
