Question Speculation: RDNA3 + CDNA2 Architectures Thread

[uzzi38]

Man I have been dying to make this one for a while now.

First rumours for RDNA3 are here so new thread time!

Just going to start off with this one for now: kopite7kimi on Twitter: "@VideoCardz Ah, I mean a simple mcm design with 10240 cores is not enough. Because the lift from RDNA2 to RDNA3 is much bigger than from RDNA1 to RDNA2. We should expect many big improvements in GFX11. 🤔" / Twitter

George should know, he’s sold hundreds of units of his small AI box, hundreds!

AMD still need fix Blender

It’s embarrassing when Apple who started blender development support in 2020 has better support than AMD.

Yeah, where are they looking? Blender is very popular because it's free and alot young/avg people starting with it and they force to take NV cards. Someone need fire from AMD who is responsible for this

I can't believe this but if my math is right the RDNA team started on Blender rendering for RDNA after that.

your right and Vega support came in 2022 and Vega support was removed in 4.3 due to bugs.
RDNA 2 support came in 2021.

Cycles: Remove support of AMD Vega GPUs for 4.3 and onwards

Hi, Sorry for bringing such update on a short notice. We had to disable Vega GPUs support for Cycles HIP rendering. The reasoning for this is an accumulated list of bugs which can not be resolved from Blender or Cycles side and require fixes in the compilers toolchains. Unfortunately, there is...

At least we get proper RT cores with RDNA4, that will help with Blender rendering. Here's hoping

IIRC the rendering compute on Blender/Cinebench with GPU is not AI related but mostly a GPGPU project. Nvidia had CUDA advantage in this territory, but AI is much more important now and rendering compute was no longer a prior project for most manufacturer?

What is he looking for?

A $200K 'investment' without giving away any shares in return ??

Meds I hope.

He needs meds.

Will UDNA stuff replace ROCM ?

No such thing as UDNA and ROCm is the s/w stack.
They do need to mainline SPIR-V support they've tinkered with for a while now.
