AMD RDNA 2 architecture

Software king of the world Microsoft has been on the Interwebs talking about the gubbins inside its new Xbox Series X, and what interested us was its GPU.

For those not in the know, the GPU in the Xbox Series X SoC is the most we have on the AMD RDNA 2 architecture and the Hot Chips presentation showed how it fits in the console SoC. Microsoft posted some slide porn for those who are into that sort of thing. Firstly, there is a slide witha picture of the physical chip with various sub-components annotated and coloured. TSMC N7 enhanced fabricated SoC with 15.3 million transistors, AMD/Microsoft created 3.8GHz Zen 2 server class CPU cores (8C/16T), 52 CUs based upon the RDNA 2 architecture, 16GB of 14Gbps GDDR6 memory on a 320-bit bus providing 560GB/s, and various multimedia hardware accelerators.

The next slide shows the RDNA 2 GPU cores. The architecture uses 26 active dual CUs. It tells us that there is a 25 per cent improved perf/clock compared to last generation.
