AMD's RDNA 2 [GPU] Gets A Codename: “Navi 2X” Comes This Year With 50% Improved Perf-Per-Watt

First and foremost, RDNA 2 is when AMD will fill out the rest of its consumer [GPU] product stack, with their eye firmly on (finally) addressing the high-end, extreme performance segment of the [GPU] market.

But don’t call it "Big Navi". RDNA 2 isn’t just a series of bigger-than-RDNA (1) chips. The GPUs, which will be the codename “Navi 2X” family, also incorporate new graphics features that set them apart from earlier products.

Overall, AMD has significant ambitions with RDNA 2, and it shows. The architecture will be the cornerstone of a generation of consoles, and it will be AMD’s first real shot in the last few years at taking back the flagship video card performance crown.
