Great improvements experienced by drivers AMD Radeon for Linux In recent years, it has turned the core of the media into a complete informant about the further movement of the company. To be more specific, Linux revealed it RDNA3 (RX7000) could double the IPC of current RDNA 2 – based graphics cards (RX 6000).

As Kepler escaped, the user TwitterAMD can be revises its Work Group Processor (WGP) in RDNA 3 architecture to move to four SIMD32 modules (which allow 32 threads to be processed simultaneously) for each computer unit (UC) compared to the two RNDA1 and RNDA2 used. This detail is known for the Linux kernel and its free software, which obviously offers a lot of transparency.

AMD introduced WGP in the first generation RDNA (RX 5000). So far, the WGP has consisted of two CUs, each with two SIMD32s. In the second generation, the scheme was repeated, but in the third, it was possible to double this core and introduce four SIMD32s in each of the two UCs. The original approach around WGP allowed AMD to execute the instruction in a single cycle, while the older GCN architecture required four hour cycles to complete the instruction. This detail was one of the reasons why GCN graphics were less efficient than their equivalent NVIDIA models.

Returning to the topic covered in this post, the possible improvements that RDNA 3 would introduce should theoretically allow the instruction to be executed in the middle of an hour cycle compared to RDNA 1 and RNDA 2, doubling the number of instructions per clock cycle (IPC). All of this would open the door to improvements that would have to be very apparent in the next generation of Radeon graphics.

As we can see, this data makes the future graphics of the RX 7000 something very promising, but it’s always a good idea to take this data with a grain of salt, because it wouldn’t be the first time that promising technology ends halfway or is a fiasco. However, AMD will have no choice but to improve at all costs if it wants to keep Radeon in the limelight, especially when it sees that in addition to not catching up with NVIDIA, it has dedicated Intel graphics that show the rearview mirror.

Will RDNA 3 be the impulse AMD needs in graphics to start coming back (or at least not finishing the crash against its rivals)? We will definitely find out more details in the coming weeks.
