Soon we are waiting for cards premiere AMD generation Polaris. But this is not the end of the manufacturer's plans, because at the conference "Kapsaicyna", we learned, что они готовят еще кое что новенькое.
generation graphics card Polaris It will be the first big step to end 2011 of the year, debuted when the Radeon HD 7970 – первая на базе архитектуры GCN (Graphics Core Next). The new kernel will be made according to the technology 14 нм FinFET на архитектуре четвертого поколения GCN, which ultimately affect the 2.5-fold increase in energy efficiency relative to current models. The premiere of the first designs expected in the middle of this year.
Around the beginning of next year we should debut model from generation Vega, who will use the second generation of memory HBM (High-Bandwidth Memory) and offer even higher energy efficiency. it turns out, что в предыдущих конструкциях применяться будет только память HBM (1. gene) и GDDR5/GDDR5X.
AT 2018 year will turn cards from generation Navi, which will use even newer generation memory, and will offer an even greater increase in energy efficiency.
If the plans do come true, we are waiting for a pleasant surprise - almost every year a new generation of graphics cards, Interesting, что на это предпримет Nvidia…
