AMD Greenland GPU Features HBM2 ,14nm Coming in 2022 - R 400 Series Arctic Islands Graphics Architecture

AMD is reportedly preparing a new family of graphics cards for introduction in 2022 based on the Chill Islands GPU architecture. The new graphics family will be manufactured at either TSMC or Globalfoundries on a 14nm/16nm FinFET process node and make employ of the second generation of the stacked graphics memory spec by JEDEC dubbed HBM.

We've talked about the Arctic Islands architecture before. AMD has revealed that information technology will announce a number of its future roadmap at the Financial Analyst Day in May. So it's possible that AMD will publicly talk nigh this new compages at the effect.
The Chill Islands flagship is code named Greenland and volition succeed Fiji every bit AMD's about powerful GPU.
Details about the new architecture are still deficient but what Fudzilla states is that with this compages AMD will focus on significantly improving power efficiency.

AMD Greenland New R9 400 Series Flagship Coming in 2022.

The new Greenland chip will be AMD'due south first GPU to be built on a 14nm/16nm FinFET process. What's interesting is that in 2022 Gloablfoundries may go AMD's main GPU suppliers. A function that's been fulfilled by TSMC for the past two decades. TSMC's numerous and major setbacks with 16nm quite possibly have had a hand in this. It'south clearly axiomatic from a historical signal view that every one of AMD'south graphics production launches on a side by side generation manufacturing procedure in the current and past two decades was delivered on a TSMC process node.

TSMC'southward 16nm FinFET process node offers equally impressive figures with double the transistor density of current 28nm technology as well as faster switching speeds and finally significantly lower power consumption.

TSMC's 16FF+ (FinFET Plus) engineering can provide above 65 percent higher speed, effectually 2 times the density, or 70 percent less power than its 28HPM applied science. Comparing with 20SoC engineering science, 16FF+ provides extra twoscore% college speed and 60% power saving. By leveraging the experience of 20SoC applied science, TSMC 16FF+ shares the same metal backend procedure in club to quickly improve yield and demonstrate procedure maturity for time-to-market value.

Nvidia as well it seems is interested in Samsung's/Globalfoundries' 14nm procedure node and might even favor it over TSMC's 16nm FinFET+ for its upcoming Pascal GPUs. We know that Samsung volition be making 14nm chips for Nvidia but it'south nonetheless not clear whether those will only be the company's low ability Tegra fries or if they'll besides include large, high functioning GPUs.

The Arctic Islands R 400 series family of GPUs will also feature the 2nd generation of HBM. And will compete with Nvidia's upcoming family of Pascal based GPUs in 2022. AMD is already set to debut the starting time generation of the retention technology with the Fiji GPU that'southward coming this summer. And so the move towards the 2nd generation of the memory technology will be more transitional.

Nvidia revealed that the new Pascal series will make utilize of the second generation of the stacked memory standard in 2022 likewise. And so it volition be the first GPU architecture from the visitor to utilize stacked memory. Nvidia on the other paw announced no plans to utilise the first generation of HBM in 2022. So HBM2 is quite clearly set to supercede GDDR5 equally the standard graphics memory for both AMD and Nvidia in 2022.
