Although the GPU (graphics processor) market remaining AMD and NVIDIA two big suppliers, but on the investment of advanced technology, there is still no adversary.

AMD's GPU Radeon hd series, main products in the last year import HBM (high frequency) wide memory technology, attract attention. AMD again today in Polaris architecture Radeon hd is a new generation of products, using 14 nanoscale FinFET process, deliver to the major OEM customers, has been in the middle of this year is expected to enter mass production schedule, the product is suitable for use in laptops, VR (virtual reality) and desktop computers, etc.

According to AMD, senior vice President of Raja Koduri said publicly that Polaris architecture is different from the past products, performance can be improved, power consumption can be reduced. And opened the Radeon hd series of modern process evolution, AMD is adopted in 2009 at 40 metric, cheng is adopted, 2011 nanometers, in 2016, is a FinFET directly into 14 nanometers.

Polaris architecture have HDMI 2.0 a, DP1.3 and 4 k images h. 265 codec functions, explore its architecture, but it is not difficult to find that, in addition to the basic core GPU, which also includes: geometry processor, instruction processor, memory controller, the core of multimedia and display engine, etc.

As there is no wafer AMD already belongs to semiconductor factory, combined with the process of 14 nanometers FinFET, the choice of the present contract, should be only samsung semiconductor for appropriate foundry partners, but AMD official did not disclose details.
