AMD Publishes New RDNA Whitepaper

Oh wow, that's an extremely well written white paper. The first hardware I ever worked on was CGA, and the last VGA, but after about half an hour of reading I was able to glean a basic overview of a modern graphics architecture.

And given the progress of the last three decades, I simply can't imagine what the next three will bring. I just hope I'm still around to see it
