Nick, gaming, and computers all first met in 1981, with the love affair starting on a Sinclair ZX81 in kit form and a book on ZX Basic. He ended up becoming a physics and IT teacher, but by the late 1990s decided it was time to cut his teeth writing for a long defunct UK tech site.
AMD has uploaded a set of new files to its Linux repository, something that it does regularly. What makes these special is the one specifically for graphics chips uses a codename that tallies with a previous update to its Linux compiler, all of which confirms that a refresh to the RDNA 3 architecture is nearing release.laptop APUs. In the case of the latter, it's being claimed to be packing a graphics chip that's on par with a, is the main clue to it being an RDNA 3 Refresh .
So what exactly can we expect with RDNA 3+? According to Chips and Cheese, the updates are fairly minor and mostly concern just making the chips more flexible, in terms of programming and getting the best performance out of them. For example, everyThat's been changed to include floating-point values, which means the scalar units can be utilised more often, though they won't have the same capabilities as the full vector ALUs that handle most of the shader routines.
Adding more capability to a GPU typically requires more transistors, which in turn makes the chips larger, but with AMD expected to use TMSC's N4 process nodes for Strix Halo/Point, they shouldn't be too large at all. He went on to do the same at Madonion, helping to write the help files for 3DMark and PCMark. After a short stint working at Beyond3D.com, Nick joined Futuremark full-time, as editor-in-chief for its gaming and hardware section, YouGamers. After the site shutdown, he became an engineering and computing lecturer for many years, but missed the writing bug. Cue four years at TechSpot.com and over 100 long articles on anything and everything.
