Key applications for AMD management meeting with analysts and investors are made, AMD CEO Lisa Su performed at the event with two separate reports, slide that confirms the company's intention to present some new desktop-class graphics solution with support for DirectX 12 and the memory type HBM. In fact, the list of suspects in this case is extremely narrow - we are talking about graphics solution Fiji.
The presence of memory type HBM on the same substrate with the graphics processor simplifies the PCB design as AMD recognizes . The company continually hints at some advantages of the new generation of graphics solutions in the segment of virtual reality technology. The last line of the second slide also says that the memory type HBM can be used not only on graphics processors. Obviously, we are talking about hybrid processors server application, which will be released in 2017.
In 2016 there will be graphical solutions AMD, using the memory type HBM second generation. Hybrid Processors sample 2016 will support DDR3 and DDR4, placed in the motherboard with socket Socket AM4. AMD FX processors with Zen architecture , which also will be released in 2016, promised a large number of cores and platform compatibility with Socket AM4, not to mention the support of DDR4 memory types .
In conclusion, I would like to share one more important observation. AMD has repeatedly said that the CPU and GPU in 2016 will be produced using FinFET, but never hinted about some technological standards in question. That is not yet proved that almost all new AMD products in 2016 will be released precisely 14-nm process technology. In the end, TSMC also remains AMD contractor. Related Products :
