I don't think so. AFAIK, Picasso is the APU scheduled for a 2019 release. Therefore, I my guess is that it will be the part with Zen 2 cores. The newly...

People, take off your tinfoil hats, please! What this basically says is not to call other people names. It is very sad that apparently a document stating...

Is there any way to actually translate Vulkan to DX atm? Also, you are assuming that the memory model doesn't map to DX or Metal or whatever. This is...

Not sure if that is entirely true. For some reason, Nvidia manages to outperform Vega with a much narrower design (A GTX 1080 has 2560 shaders vs 4096...

I don't think, this will be a problem. After all, they take DX and implement it using Vulkan. This works and any further additions to Vulkan should not...

Some older AMD cards have seen improvements and driver optimizations way after their introduction, that is true. One could be cynical and argue that the...

Agreed, that was a ill-considered wording on my part....

How is this a "declaration of war"?! If anything, they are conceding that there is a significant demand for the proprietary APIs. So much so,...

Apple's install base might not be bigger than all other combined but there is one word in David's argument which carries all the weight here: "homogeneous"....

Quick question: Has anyone here even the slightest clue how the feature sets and paradigms of current graphics APIs compare? It‘s all just meta-talk...

While this is true, there is a second reason for the high prices: The absurdly large die. This is due to all the new fixed function units for ray tracing...

[GruenSein]

I doubt both, tbh. As it is said in the article, Vega 20 isn't treated any differently from Vega 10. If I understand correctly this simply enables the...

Also, there are new instructions for Vega 20 found in LLVM. So, it definitely is a new chip.

While RadeonSI certainly is the by far best GL driver for AMD hardware on Linux, I can't help but wonder if it wouldn't make sense to "port"...
