Question Speculation: RDNA2 + CDNA Architectures thread

[jpiniero]

AMD want too Mining specific cards, i think it's related to the 17 new PCI IDs of Navi 21, 22 and 23 GPUs which has been by AMD to Linux kernel :

I think it's more related to the 6 nm refresh, which is looking more likely they are doing a full refresh. Mining specific SKUs wouldn't surprise me though.

-Indeed, moving to 6nm would allow AMD to produce more dies per wafer and they would not have to compete with 5nm supply with their CPUs and potentially console SOCs.

Given AMD (and NV) still have not even released their full current gen line-up, it doesn't look like anyone is in a big hurry to move on to next gen archs at the moment for any number of different reasons.

I would be surprised for AMD to make a further lower tier card for desktop. I think this is it, and what the 6 nm would be (which would make sense to me) is largely the same specs with some clock/memory/price (heh) changes.

There is a Navi 24 (16CU, 64-bits GDDR6,16MB IC), probably called RX6300 incoming.

Yeah, but is it going to cost less than $280?

Part of the problem is that even if it can't mine, the market is so distorted that this will wind up getting scalped as well.

Assuming it comes to desktops at all.

OEMs builds maybe, but I wouldn't expect a DIY version.

Well, they can't keep selling RX550/RX570 forever.

 

[LightningZ71]

They will as long as people still buy them...

A 6nm refresh of the current cards to replace the 700/600/500 level SKUs seems like a no-brainer. ITs already rumored that the 6800 chip is being bumped down to the 700, and the rest down as well. Might as well combine the two.

There is a new GPU from the Navi2x family

+#define AMDGPU_FAMILY_GC_10_3_7 151 /* GC 10.3.7 */

[PATCH] drm/amdgpu/gfx10: Add GC 10.3.7 Support

What is this new GPU, it has new DCN, SMU, PSP, VCN 3.1.1, etc, Is this some N6 refresh of N2x series?
Seems DP2.0 capable.

Do chickens have wings? NOTE that I can get a 6500xt for cheaper than $280 right now. The cheapest public price that I've found is $260. The cheapest bulk (non-reseller) price is $189.96.

No more fishy code names, I'm sad.

Raphael I think.

Good guess.

Curious. What & where is the min order for bulk and why (non-reseller) description? Is reseller even cheaper?

 

[DisEnchantment]

Raphael I think.

Seems a bit odd though for the PSP and SMU FW to just have minor version update.
I am imagining a new major SMU version for Zen4.
Additionally, there is another chip GC 10.3.6

[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: add gc 10.3.6 support

Both GC 10.3.6 and 7 have different Firmwares.
So likely are not binned SKUs of existing dies.

No more fishy code names, I'm sad.

I think GC is another fish name.

Interesting for those who don't really care about image quality.

 

[DisEnchantment]

Seems both are APUs, SMU version 13.0.5 and 13.0.8. One of them is behaving like YC.
They have new VCN version also, 3.1.2

One funny bit is that one of them is LPDDR5+DDR5 and the other is LPDDR5+DDR4 !
